    I don't disagree with you that they want to control the Asian continent; but they will only do it through the exploitation of their nations resources and citizens. They have never in their entire history done it through armed force.

    China buys US debt in order to prop up their own currency. They also manipulate their currency to keep their economy afloat. As I said, that house of cards only stands as long as they are a Communist Dictatorship and allow the continues exploitation of their environment and citizens. I believe that to be unsustainable much like it was in the former Soviet Union.

    Trump is right to charge them with unfair acts and negotiate strongly with them to prevent further erosion to our industries.

    With less than a third of either of their populations, that isn't shocking. The advancements both have made, plus the raw labor power would suggest that is precisely what should happen.

    Now put all of the European countries together and tell us where you all stand.

    They are obviously intending to be a world power, like the USA, imposing their beliefs etcetera on everyone else maybe. No, I don't enjoy individual liberty - I live under capitalism, like everyone else.

    I don't see that happening unless their Communist regime collapses.

    Let's be very clear here; the ONLY reason China is an industrial juggernaut is that they allow the exploitation of their people and their environment.
    That is perfectly true but why then are they building up their military to such a degree, who is their perceived enemy? Vietnam recently allowed the USS Vinson to dock in Da Nang, who would have predicted that even ten years ago?

    Well Tom it’s not like the American economy would be shrinking or our standard of living falling.

    Taffy is a fool, even Vietnam is shitting itself over Chinese hegemony. Why else did the USS Vinson, flagship of the Seventh Fleet, dock in Da Nang? They know that the Chinese want to have total control over the South China Sea and are rapidly militarising the Spratley and Paracel Islands.

    China has a system of State Capitalism, so what would be the difference in the economic order?

    iolo: "No, I don't enjoy individual liberty ..."
    Jack: Oh. Sorry to hear that. I prefer the concept of a Free Expression environment. I would hate for a Chinese style 'Censorship' to be imposed on the Nation and that be the norm.
