    I asked if you were a Trump supporter.




    China diversifying its currency holding/income streams will bring stability to their economy, be a hedge against US trying to strap them down, and, quite frankly, their investments couldn't possibly come with worse terms than the world bank imposes on third world borrowers. Nice to see you exercising democratic bigotry though. "Slanty-eyed people BAD!!!!!!"
    It is my opinion, which I have stated many, many times on the Internet...that China will become the dominant nation of the planet soon...economically and influentially.

    Not sure what bigotry you are seeing, but you often go off half-assed, so I am going to assume that is what is happening.

    And...to reword what I originally said: To people like you...the MOST IMPORTANT thing is enriching yourself. Fuck the rest of humanity.

    Right?

    But but but, we just cut corporate taxes to 21% because you all said it would grow the economy.

    So another fucking promise broken.

    Shocking.

    You know why?

    Because our birth rates are declining (7 years in a row).

    Immigration is necessary to keep our population from declining.

    But you oppose immigration.

    So here we are, with you complaining about a problem of which your belief system is the primary cause.

    In other words, masturbation.

    Like your friend mentioned, I think they are focused on becoming THE World Power. Imposing their beliefs, customs, culture, and Governing on everyone else.
    Do YOU enjoy Individual Liberty? That's NOT what THEY believe.

    It is truly mindboggling just how much regulation emanates from Brussels, we could scrap at least 50% and be far better off. That's why the EU is so terrified, they know that once they are found out the whole house of cards will collapse. Naturally Doris is totally unaware of this, it's too late now as you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

    Let's be clear here; China has NEVER invaded anyone. The only time they have engaged was either, when they were attacked, or when North Korea was about to be defeated and they would have no buffer with Capitalism.

    In order for China to become what this article stupidly predicts, they would have to first release their citizens from bondage, stop allowing the exploitation of their environment and their people's wages.

    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.

    Exactly; and the same can be said for China. If it weren't for the total exploitation of their labor and environment, they would be a basket case like the Soviet Union.

    They are still flexing their muscles, not being subject to the type of media in the West they can bide their time. They want to totally control SE Asia, trust me I've seen it at first hand. It is amazing how many Chinese there are here now, Pattaya is swarming with them.
