China's domestic demand would plunge in earnest after the Lunar New Year holiday, which is the economic second milestone. The first was the end of Beijing Olympics.

Up to the Olympic games, economy was boosted by Olympic related public work projects. Bad news on melamine milk was also suppressed during that period. Chinese economy visibly started to falter after the Olympic games. Now mass lay-off would come just before or after the new year celebration. Along comes plunge of domestic demand. Chinese gov will face unemployment shooting up and domestic demand plunge. Their solution will be more public work project and devalutation of yuan to boost export.

Ping!

I would think the only thing worse than China as an opponent would be a nuclear China that becomes wildly unstable.

Liots! Liots! Liots in the street!

Just out of curiosity, instead of throwing stones do they throw rice and chop sticks at the man?

Wait a minute...Bama said that China was a model country to emulate.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

A country of 1.2 billion with only about 300 - 400 million benefiting from the economy and now the Chi-Coms worry about enough domestic demand?

Factories are closing by the score due to declining overseas orders.

Didn't all first-world economies start with domestic demand and then get into international trade?

[Woebama]

Well, if the Chinese tyranny falls that could be the boost the world economy needs. A free China.

I am a hopeless optimist.

So, you have to wonder what idiot decided to funnel all that money to Obamabi? The world hated America and wished us ill, well, they got it. I wonder how they like it?

When will we find out the name of the Chinese Hitler, and when will we find out the Chinese word for Lebensraum?

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Wait a minute! I thought China was an economic miracle set to overshadow the U.S. in its economic success.

Massive layoffs in China? Say it ain't so!

Oh where are Americans going to buy cheap, tainted products now? Where will we buy dog food to kill our pets? Where will we buy toys painted with lead? What's to become of our beloved Wal-Mart? Oh, the humanity.....!

[Wolfie]

Crap. Who’s going to build our stuff?

Rural officials are trying to create work, investing in construction projects and running training courses on skills such as rabbit farming.

With skills like rabbit farming, why would anyone want to go back to work at a high tech factory?

China's leaders know better than anyone that their claim to authority rests on their ability to provide a good living.

Hah, didn't Mao say that "all political power grows out of the barrel of a gun?" The Obama Presidency is a good example of leadership that rests on the ability to provide a good living. The Republicans were ousted because of a litany of mistakes, the Chinese Communists will hold onto power as long as their paramilitary, police and military units can control the population.
