The less funding they get, the better off places like Africa will probably be.

The Chinese system, is itself a gigantic social security program.

Which for the Chinese economy and the regime, is likely to become an ever-growing liability.

This is a DANGEROUS misrepresentation of China... VERY dangerous, and a complete failure to understand Chinese culture and the widespread use of Tsun Tsu’s “Art of War” in Chinese culture.

You REALLY expect a LeftCoast / LeftMedia / Communist loving propaganda shill like the LA Times to tell the TRUTH about China and its threat?

Social unrest is already happening, though I doubt it has much to do with gender imbalance.

I've never visited China but I have to wonder and maybe someone here can help.

It seems to me that China isn't actually an economy. More of a manufacturing base.

Anyone know the size of its service sector, R&D sector, transportation/utilities sectors etc, compared to the US?

Manufacturing is great for making money, but there's more to an economy than being able to make a product. It takes marketing and advertising and most of all, people/businesses willing and able to buy it.

I started to spit this out on another thread the other night and did a dismal job ;)

Don’t forget their kung fu! With their knowledge of the praying mantis style, they’ll corner the flash memory chip market and make thousands of ICBM’s while denying us the ability to make new ones! They are masters of the way of strategy. Stick a fork in us, we’re done for.

Only if they don’t want it or don’t have a home to begin with.

“Slaves” as you call them, live better here than they do at home. That’s why they’re here.

Send them back anyway. No one has a right to be a slave in America.

You should read more. CNN is a cruddy way to catch up with current events.

I wish I could believe, I’m being alarmist. I don’t think so. I think we are sleeping.

Want to see how much commerce is going on within a country?
Log onto craigslist.com. Pick a medium size American city like Pittsburgh or Indianapolis. View the listings for autos or furniture or electronics. You'll find hundreds of posts within the last few days.

Now, pick a large city in China or India and do the same.
Any difference?

And they were given our military secrets from our demented former president. China is NOT our friend.
