Famous last words. China will not let their economy falter if they cannot get natural resources and are making sweetheart deals with many s. american and african countries literaly in effect knocking the US out of the picture if push comes to shove.
Once China and India really get buzzing they are not going to need little old USA and it's miniscule 300 million people. Especially after they drain our technology and proprietary knowlegde with the help of american ceo's wanting cheap labor to boost their profit margins so they can buy that 2nd yacht or 4th mansion.

Maybe, but then...that's how it is. They have 2+ billion people and we don't. There's not much we can do about that except try and sell stuff to them and take advantage of the opportunities two huge and booming economies will present. All things wax and wane, but I don't think the US will suffer any severe decline in the lifetime of any Freeper.
I learned Chinese [for kicks, it looked cool in college, plus I had a thing for Asian women] and then moved out here. Free trade is what it is.
