| Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought. |

The Chinese are more powerfull than you think
And you are going to have to live with this and know that there is nothing you can do to stop it. While Chinese demand for copper, iron ore and oil has sent world prices soaring, all you Americans have sat on your fat ass bitching about it being the Republicans fault or the Democrats fault. All the meanwhile the Chinese countinue to grow...bow down to your new overlords.

Re: The Chinese are more powerfull than you think
I bet you also think those sneaky Mexicans are stealing jobs from good, hardworking Americans like yourself, too. And what about those lazy Negroes leeching off of the welfare that YOUR tax dollars are paying? Take your neocon scare tactics and kindly GTFO.

Re: The Chinese are more powerfull than you think
True, but they are only using a fraction of the imported resources. Most goes into stockpiling. They are purchasing Australian, Canadian and Brazilian copper, coal and iron ore while it is cheap. Also they are getting their oil from Africa while we get ours from the Middle East. The West can't get to Nigeria's vast oil reserves because the Chinese control it. Not just in Nigeria, but the rest of Africa except the very North and South, China has a lot of influence.
Most of the public infrastructure such as highways and stadiums is funded by the PRC. This is nothing new either. Ever since the 1970s China saw Africa for its resources. Most of the influencial people in these African countries attended Chinese universities. China needs Africa for its food and oil needs in the future.
America hasn't heard much of it because China doesn't deal with America. The USA doesn't have much stake in Africa, iron ore, copper or coal so it would not be in the news often in America.

Re: The Chinese are more powerfull than you think
only through arms trading, but we can get them better shit, through our allies and ourselves. This perceived position of power was created by us and can be destroyed by us.

Yes your power and you grasp of it is obvious...

They could have taken out an entire fleet and you wouldn't have even known it was them.
Most of Chinas military capabilities are kept secret, and they have about 2.5 million active personnel, compare this to Americas 1.5m. Also most university undergraduates take part in military training and if needed China could amass an army of over 300 million people. At the end of the day, if they really wanted to kick off, we would all be fucked.
