10% Is that all you got? After the dollar's previously falling 50% against the EU. Big deal. Got a long ways to go to prevent it still being a net loss.

BTW, remember this Chinese nationalist character...he gives an idea what the Chinese think...they are true believers in the PPP:

"According to the 1992 CIA factbook, the real GNP of China in terms of purchasing power parity was already one half of the GNP of America back in 1992.

Since 1992, the GNP of China has tripled, it is now 3 times bigger than in 1992, whereas the GNP of America has only increased by one third since 1992.

In other words, the real GNP of China in terms of purchasing power parity is already bigger than the GNP of America.

Actually, the real GNP of China overtook the GNP of America in 2002.

Now, when the GNP of Japan overtook the GNP of Germany in 1968, every newspaper published the news around the world.

How come that, in 2002, when the GNP of China overtook the GNP of America, no newspapers published the news around the world? Why the discrimination against China?

By 2010, the real GNP of China will be 2 times bigger than the GNP of America.

By 2020, the real GNP of China will be 4 times bigger than the GNP of America.

By 2030, the real GNP of China will be 6 times bigger than the GNP of America, and the income per capita, the GNP per capita in China will be higher than the GNP per capita in America. In other words, Chinese incomes and wages will be higher than American wages in 2030, just as Japanese wages are already higher than American wages today.

By 2030, the average Chinese will be more wealthy and better educated than the average American.

China will be 5 or 6 times bigger and stronger than America very soon, and the world will have to stop looking down upon the Chinese people.

We can predict a future world where China will dominate financially, economically, militarily, in science and technology, culturally, with the Chinese language replacing the English language as the most important international language, with school kids in America learning Chinese as a foreign language ( and Chinese kids in China not needing to learn English anymore, since the American kids will know how to speak Chinese anyway ), with China dominating the world of media and entertainment, with Chinese movies, Chinese music and Chinese fashion designs spreading Chinese influence all over the world.

China will be number one."
