That's what a small change in a nation of nearly 1.3 billion people does.Demographics? This analysis reduces to a brute demographic claim? More consumers, more demand? A subtler, more explanatory model would account for consumption patterns, income disparaties, age distributions etc., etc. For example, Americans are few compared to the rest of the planet; but we consume way out of proportion to our numbers because of a favorable income distribution and other social, legal conditions (big middle class). This analysis assumes, basically, a bourgeios revolution in mainland China, which would be great, but I really-seriously doubt it.
No, you're not a Chinese citizen.
Not much.
Sorry, Chicom -- we will be BEATING you, not JOINING you.
As terrible as the Chinese government is, it really is starting to see the light on the economic side (on the social side, that's a different story). With that many people and with as bad as its communist economic policies were for so long, the slightest removal of restrictions on its economy will lead to large gains. China is booming right now and its a trend the U.S. needs to work with them to manage and push in the right direction... not fight, as many here want to do. An economically prosperous China will be more free and less threatening to free nations.
Can you say that, without your government locking you up?
Wow!

... not fight, as many here want to do. An economically prosperous China will be more free and less threatening to free nations.I agree with you completely. That would be fantastic both for the Chinese and the world, especially the world. I'm simply a little less optimistic about China ever developing and sustaining a Western model, market system, say, like Japan or Korea. Their pattern appears to be one of punctuated equilibrium--equilibrium punctuated by catastrophe, political catastrophe, resource catastrophe etc., etc. Perhaps it is simply a failure of the imagination on my part, but 3,000 year old Celestial Empires ... oh, whatever. My predictions are worthless. The Chinese are as mysterious to me as our Muslim brothers and sisters.
China is obviously very different from us, but they encouraging thing is that many Chinese have shown a very open attitude to adopting Western ideas as well as Christianity. This is very different than most Muslim societies.
He's mastered the idioms of the language pretty well, I have to admit.
LOL - Hey Running_Dawg, where do you get this slang? Tell your handlers that the book they issued you "How To Talk Like Fat Lazy American Cowboy Hegemon" is about ten years out of date.
Liar.
China continues to persecute Christians

I hate people who come here with agendas who are paid by foreign governments, people like China_Dawg. But I hope he is never tortured like these Christians in China:
Say, do those Chinese bicycles allow you to backpedal like that, or do they have those built-in brakes? Until they stop torturing members of various religions strictly for practicing those religions, they are an enemy of decency. And I suggest we refrain from giving them the tools to destroy us.
Why would you care anyway... are you a Christian?
Unlike you, I care when my fellow man is tortured. I know you could care less, we ALL know that about you, China_Dawg.
You'd have made a really great German a few decades ago, but you'll serve nicely in your present role as an apologist for Chinese torture.
