I interned for a aerospace company back in high school (1996). They had me file for their Sr. threat analyst. the pile they had on Russia was huge. I then moved to the "China" pile, 10x bigger. What I gather from this analyst and my economics professor, China is a sleeping giant and no country will want to wake it.

So does this mean communism wins? Awesome
- EU and US socialist economies are much closer to communism than the authoritarian capitalism of China.raf
- Out of the major powers, the US is by far the most capitalistukit
- Interesting read (from conservative perspective)

I moved to China from the UK 5 years ago to learn more about this country.
China's world domination will be different to England's and America's. so don't worry, they won't close your local mcdonalds. You'll still be able to buy a starbucks, it's just you'll have the option of a green tea latte too.

And... if they got rid of you for cheap labour it doesn't say much about the service you were offering.
- an example is for example fashion campaigns that are replicas from say for example Gucci ones... probably shot for £5K thoughclearThoughts

Not saying anything against them.
Just thinking how the Chinese world domination will affect the rest of the world.
America's world domination for example, only really helped the US. So if you live in the US is fine, but if you are outside of the US it doesn't really benefit you.
- unless you are a minnow like Canada or Australia who really benefit from having the US as a big brother.Amicus

I am Chinese so perhaps I can offer some insight here. The answer is yes, you should be worried. Just look around you at the sad mess Western culture evolved into. I can't wait to get on with the business of firing you lazy cunts while replicating your work.

I still feel like their success is due largely to their ability to exploit the working poor in their country. Maybe I'm wrong, but where will they be without that cheap labor? The poor, from the few articles I've read about it this year, are starting to push back.
- true. though is it the chinese exploiting the poor, or us?mydo

@ Josev - America has had over 300 years of exploiting black slaves in their country. How in the world did China catch up so quickly?
- Josev0
I don't disagree that we've exploited people in the past, and in our present day (Latin Americans).
- That was more in response to the comment about China's policies. I don't think their success is built on those policies.Josev
- policies. I think it was built on exploitation. And, yeah, the US has that in it's past, so do we give it a free pass? Im against exploiting undocumented workers, too.Josev
- policies. I think it was built on exploitation. And, yeah, the US has that in it's past, so do we exploiting undocumented workers, too.Josev
- UGH, ignore the third box. I meant to say I'm against exploiting undocumented workers in our country, too.Josev

I wonder what Tiger Woods thinks of all this.
Does it keep him awake at night?

Hmmmm... then i wonder if it could be due to the massive amounts of people they have over there in China. I haven't been there, but I'd work for $1/ hour if rent was less than $100/mo. Which I'd have to be, else how can anyone survive over there?

On the subject of business ethics, it's worth noting while we were all babies, all the cheap plastic shit had "made in japan" on it. My uncle tells me stories of working with the japanese in the 60's and saying how they stole your ideas, had no respect for copyright etc.etc.... Now look how fucking cool they are! http://www.qbn.com/topics/618655…
- Yeah, economists point to that when discussing China's power. We thought Japan was going to buy/take over the whole country in the 80's. It didnt happen.Josev
- in the 80's. It didnt happen.Josev
- Although I've also read that Japan may be a good example for where our economy is headed.Josev
- It's like going back in time going to japan. really odd.mydo
- Population size is pretty differentukit
- We had / have military bases in Japan. In China, not so much.TheBlueOne
