The times are clearly changing when China's response puts the West's to shame.
Bullshit. Neither the American nor the European government have given money to bankers. They have LENT it to them. Because otherwise the whole economy would have nose-dived. The difference to China is that we have the infrastructure. The States would need to invest more into maintaining it but in General the streets, ports, powerplants etc. are there. A Chinese nation that still has a billion dirt-poor citizens and which is growing at 10% annually simply needs much more.
I like living in a rich, democratic nation with clean rivers opposed to a pretty autocratic nation where a hundreds of millions of peasants are still in third-world conditions and the rivers will eat the flesh from your bones. (Although its a good thing that they get richer, hopefully also more democratic)
