eh, its communism over there and its democracy here. There are also a ton of law here regulating wages, the minium is $5.15 and hour. What I don't get is why the US does not hit those products with s %50 tarrif? If we would not get so much from aisa, there would be no unemployment in the US.

Then everything would cost more, and China might take its huge billion person market elseware. They're our most favorite nation for imports, maybe they'll do the same for us (which they are). It's not like the US economy is stagnant and no new jobs are being created to fill the void left by the outsourced ones.

Not 90% more like 60-70%. But if china does invade U.S that be stupid cause china does not have the technology to. There weapons and ships are poor and weak. They just now finaly made a space program. In 2004 they finaly sent a man into space. There weapon technology is 1970's. They still use tanks, guns, and planes made in the 1970's. Only problem they would be is size of there army. They would have the bigest army in the world because of there population. Then also they could nuke the crap out of us.

AHHHHH! It's "Their", not "there". "Their" is possessive, "There" is a location or place, like "Over there."

Anyways. There is no reason for the Chinese to invade their trading partner. The USA poses no military threat to the Chinese.

EDIT: No, I was wrong. The US Navy can pose a threat to the Chinese if the Chinese attack Taiwan.

Eitheir way to say that China is a threat to the world is downright foolish, Rumsfield should be shot for saying that.

Three cheers for he who doesn't know what he's talking about!
China is definatly not Communist. Even Deng called it "Socialism with Chinese characteristics", a way of keeping the Maoist hardliners from calling him a "capitalist roader".

There are as many privatly owned companies in China as there are government owned ones. They are opening up their country to trade with the West. The whole economic idea behind communism is self reliance, and trading with capitalists is definatly being self reliant.

China is developing new fighters, tanks, and infantry weapons that are at least as good as their American and EU counterparts. They are the the only country not allied with the United States that not only has nuclear weapons, but the means to deliver them. They are also the only nation not allied with the US to put a man into space.

To say they aren't a threat is just stupid.

If they want to trade with us, then I guess they'll have to play nice. We've got some kick ass weapons systems they want to buy

If the Chinese are going to have America by the balls then they are going to make Europe their Bitch.

Sooner a peaceful trading partner kind of bitch, than a drag you into pointless wars kind of bitch.

Sorry guys, I don't see them as dangerous war mongers. If you lot want to continually isolate yourselves from the world, then be my guest. China is strong and will get stronger no matter what - Better to be friends than enemies.

I'd say let china go and build all the weapons they want. Soon the goverment runs out of money and bam, communism in china is dead.

Easy Pethegreat...

Every system can evolve into a tyranny, as history shows, which is why you shouldn't treat things like giving presidents extra power lightly. I thought you Americans said: "The price for freedom is eternal vigilance." (Jefferson)

Edit: I hope I'm not going to get "Well it can't happen to us as a responce."
