Maybe they can (finally!) teach you how to brew a proper beer?

China making money means chinese citizens make money means these citizens will have impact on Chinese politics means China will have to reform. It was the same with Japan 60 years ago. Look at it now.

Didnt the USA promotes the FREE MARKET rules ??

If China has the money and buy lands to build what ever is allowed , in a capitalsim culture should be allowed??

Or what up? Usa doesnt like capitalism if somebody else make the money?

The "free market" is a oneway thing, if for example a european country want to protect their homemarket from US products they go directly to the "international" organizations, implement sanctions and force the government inmediately to remove any kind of customs -
on the other hand if the USA think that european steel or other goods are to cheap compared to their own market they just put customs of 40% over european steel and laugh about the complaints of our ridiculous governments.
Always the same, and now you can imagine what position the poor countries have in this game

They just abuse the whole world and the chinese are currently the only hope that somebody will break this

The role of the US in the world is about to end, they have no financial power nor influence left, it's time for new powers to rise such as china, india and brazil.
Europe will probably start dominating trade again now our coin has a bigger valeu on the market then the dollar.
More and more countries allready prefer euro's over dollars, there is a reason why china solled all it's spare dollars.
I also think we need to start looking to the other eastern tiger, Russia, which has increasing financial means and a vast amount of raw material.

Bwahaha. The euro is just about to fail, too. All representative "democracies" (no representative democracy is actually democratic) are about to fail, sooner or later. China WILL dominate the world, just because their government is good. Well, for the economy, that is.

(I don't want to say democracy isn't good, just that ours are crap :P)

[blood-raven]

democracy doesnt work, look at belgium, we have democracy but after more then a year we still don't have a governement because both the walloons and flemish had it with eachother.
there is no deal and no governement.
and see, our economy is still ok, only some whinners at a desk far away warn about the "unstable situation" in our country.

Democracy is funny. The will of the people, but most of the people care too little to have a will, so we get fundamentalists and zealots pushing their opinions on everyone. Still, no*one cares. Just like no*one cares about China building in USA. They thought about trying that stunt here until they realised that they'd be building a city in the desert, and no one cared (except the rednecks, but the less said about them the better).

Actually the Euro isn't failing, our Euro is still way more worth then the USD, also thanks to the EU our competitive possition is way better. Maybe the situation with Greece is making the Euro worth less, but I don't think the USD will be worth more then the Euro in the coming 5 years.

Also about China, china WILL be the new economic power in the world, I don't think we can deny they will. Also they are planning to spend 12.4% MORE money then they do atm for their army so I suspect China will be the new economic AND the new militairy power, but I don't think they will attack anyone, that would mean that probably the US is coming to fight them, I think the Australians will join the US because they are in the crossfire of the battle then, and Europe will help the US...

That's just like saying 'no, I'm no speed hacker, because that guy with an humongous headstart over there will still arrive before me'

And the yen has failed too, because one yen is almost valueless?
