These threads about China are full of passive-agressive comments, many of which are so delusional it's sad. Yes, China might be a threat. I'm not American but I'm in Europe and if the US empire falls I'll be in trouble too. But people need to man up and face the reality. Yes, China is growing strong, but there's nothing wrong with it. 1,350 Million people now live lives that don't feel like literal hell. That's a good thing in my book, and I can't wait for latin america and more asian countries to take off too. People living healthy happy secure lives is ok, even if it makes some of us over here feel a bit uncomfortable. Not to mention that their rising wages will finally stop the financial stagnation of the west, especially Europe, which is suffering with high unemployemnt due to the competition with the Chinese.
