US and human right? what a joke... Invaded a country for fake reason (Irak), arrest, put in prison and torture people with no reason (guantalamo and CIA flight over europe). Yes America is a big peaceful democraty.

They also flooded the third world market with cheap and subventioned GMO food and bankrupt the local producers so after 3rd countries are not self sufficent anymore and will depend on the west.

Devaluating unilatery its currency without consultation of other countries that will be lead to some trouble in most of the other countries. Sure USA is a great leader that take care of the world...

And for Numorex about the underevaluate RMB, China holds USA by the bollocks with all the treasury bonds and cash they have. If they want, they just need to sold all their USD and you can say farewell to the value of USD (even if it's not what China will do, they won't kill their first customer for no reason).

After about question about world dominance, this has a cost that Japan and Germany refused to pay in the past. But as they are more confidend and seems to agree on that, it's possible that China take the leader role from USA (if the country don't make a new revolutation).

hmm, time to start learning chinese.

And don't forget the opium production has been more than doubled! Which is very nice, too. I'd call it hooray :)

China is bipolar, go there and you'll see what I mean.

To have a capitalism you need a democracy at some point, having a psuedo-democracy run but the Elders and a total of 3% of your populace being wealthy aka American basic living standard and up is not healthy for any Capitalism, it looks like slave labour and it is. Chinese however aren't Americans they are Chinese so who knows this system may work out for them.

I thought there would of been a bloody coup on the central government by now from the working class and instead they are talking about unions... go figure.

Seems they skipped a step.

Arab nations are neither Communist or Socialist. They use an economic system called Proto-Capitalism or Anarcho-capitalism. Income tax rates are at low rates of say flat rate of 5% in Arab nations. huge divide between rich and poor but that is life. Democracy would not exist in a place where you have a Sultan, Prince or King who runs the nation. Capital punishment is frequently used in Arab nations who administer Islamic(Sharia) law. 

Pure Capitalism(Fascism) and democracy do not mix. Pure Socialism(Communism) and democracy do not mix. A mixed system incorporates Socialism, Capitalism and democracy. 

China's wikileaks make me feel a lot better about them.

OMG I cannot seriously believe that you're THAT naive, or believe anything the media/government tells you. So the good Americans, without any interest of their own, invested billions upon billions on these operations to free another country?

Sorry, this is Crusaders all over again. They just need a reason, a cause to make war, to deplete their weapons (so that they can purchase new ones in the future), to control the area, to get access to oil, killing (not necessarily innocent) people. All with the blessings of their own people...

I gave it a little more thought and now I see your point. When a country becomes the most  rich and powerful it is only natural that at the same time it becomes a threat to worlf peace. Example: USA. Now it will be China's turn to become the world's bully. Yeah, it makes sense.

Yeah, potentially millions of deaths. Really cool.

American banks have completely ruined the economy, aided by the complete lack of any US govmnt. oversight, so please don't start about China.

Besides China hold trillions of US debt. Without China the US would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. A little bit more respect would probably be good.

Most Americans have no idea what war really is. They've never had to defend their homes, their beloved ones. I really hope they don't have to learn the hard way...

@bolded

So true. If China goes under, the whole world economy will just crash and burn. And then more war would ensue...
