Nothing to worry about, move on.

Give it time. The Chinese will get sucked into some sort conflict with Muslim fundamentalists and it will wreck their economy too.

You read it here first.

Add to this any move on our part to protect our economic interests, such as tariffs or incentives to bring business back home might be interpreted as an act of aggression against them. Don't forget their economy is run by the military. Little scary.

You're running a business. Is it sensible to injure your biggest customer?

There is a statistic somewhere describing the likelyhood of war based on the ratio of males to females in a society. China is primed.

Time to start teaching Hokkien/Mandarine to any american school-age child that is old enough to learn.


As for the Muslim issue..I see the Chinese governments foriegn policy's to be in sharp contrast to the United States current policy's.

Not my hypothesis, you would have to find it to get details.

There is a good documentary called Why We Fight it is worth a look if you haven't seen it.

You mean like with the Tibetans and then with the Muslim Uighurs?

Personally, I disagree because numbers are on their side.

They have enough money now to buy their way out of anything. Thanks to us.
