Let us say for the sake of argument that they have a revolution and create the most democratic government in the history of the world. How does that change anything? Doesn't it just make things worse for us?

It depends on how destructive the revolution is. If it were particularly nasty - say, 10% of the general population killed in civil strife, nuclear devices set off by one group of Chinese against a different group within mainland China, and with substantial destruction of infrastructure - we might recover some of what we've given away.

That being said, I certainly don't expect anything of the sort. I would imagine they'll carry on nicely - unfortunately for us.

Well my point is that to carp about the current form of Government is really beside the point. The danger is in exporting professional jobs. Even if they blow up half the country and still contiued to bleed technical kno- how into China, the difference is only one of timing and not of degree; the outcome is the same as far as the USA 's future goes.
