Just about a month ago I was talking with Aaron about how China would utterly clean our clock if something broke out. I told him that I felt that China has a master plan whereas the US has a bunch of crybaby pussies running around complaining about how sore they are. I figure that while the US sits around trying to win these small battles, China is looking to win the war. I know some of you will say, Mike we are not at war with China. I never said this, all I am saying is that Communism and Democracy have and will continue to wage war forever. Money is power and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

China couldnt beat the U.S.A even with
there numbers we have technology on our
Side. This last year alone (2006) the world
Spent 1.2 trillion on military and 65% of
That was the US. Give them 30 years and maybe, try now and they will be blown out the water imo. As far as being a puss if an
Attacking force lands I think we as a
people are still strong and if not I say leave it up to the mexicans to take home the win by drive-by warfare!! :)
anyone who disbelieves that they can be defeated has already lost.
battles are not won by money or toys.
but rather by the unification and concentration of a shared idea.
an army can be defeated, a country can be destroyed.
but an idea is immortal.

Dude I could be wrong, but China has a lot more technology then the US.
Regarding the 1.2 trillion… I think it was all spent on the war. :)
China always comes out with the latest and greatest stuff compared to any
other country. But anyways it was fun :)
So I’m sitting at the theatre eagerly awaiting the previews. Sound booms across the auditorium but no picture. Twiddle fingers and leer at the young teens strutting around in their tight clothes. After about 10 minutes of ’techical difficulty’, we get a picture. Then have to suffer thru 3 of the same exact commercials in a row. Movie starts and its’s shrug anghhh. The nachos were good and washing it down with watered-down soda reminded me why I love going to the movies.Oh, Doom is back..Surfer loses board..Surfer re-gains board. Doom is tossed into Ocean {no doubt to be back for FF4:III or Silver Surfer Spin-off}. Surfer diverts Galactus from destroying Earth. Side note- Galactus was reduced to a faceless “cloud formation”. Oh, the high point was Stan Lee playing…you guessed it.. Stan Lee trying to get into wedding. That guy is a hoot. Oh China is going to be one of the final countries when Armegeddon occurs. By then, America won’t even be America as we know it today. It will be more likely known as Mexicanada or North American Conglamerate IF we haven’t been reduced to several sub-territories. Oh, and Democracy AND Communism will both be defeated by globalism. Democracy first then communism will soon follow…Thank God I’m a Christian. Oh, I got off point. FF4-Rise of the Silver Surfer was decent and will no doubt bring in some good money. Can’t wait to download it from frostwire and watch it for free.
The real war going on is the economic war. China will eventually just buy up what they need, or any other country. If you havent taken notice already most US CEO’s are selling out when they can, to whomever will buy.
In general Saudi Arabia, Japan, and China own lots of land in the USA.
Japan for example has several large ranches out in the western US that help them raise cattle for their own beef industry in Japan.
Even in Europe the dollar at the moment is so weak against the Euro, and especially the Pound, it will become hard for the US to make back any ground in the buisiness world.
Try to find anything that made in the USA. Good luck hunting.
Eventually we wont own or make anything, and we will have to answer to whatever buisiness/country owns us.
Most of you im sure have credit cards. Most of the call centers are now in India. Just try and get any customer service out of them, or comprehendable English for that matter.
Anyway flame me rant me enjoy :)

More power to the chinese anyway hehe.
but the other economic side is the massive holdings in US Treasury bills that China currently holds. This has enabled the US to keep interest rates lower and for the Chinese currency to stay more competitive, meaning US consumers are buying lots more chinese imports :) I can get the figures if you like, but the US Treasury debt held by China is huge. If they stopped supporting the US Dollar, the US would actually be in a lot of trouble (so would china of course)
I guess if push came to shove, the US could do a Chavez and just nationalize any foreign-owned assets inside the US.. bwahaha
laugh!

Yea this was many months ago, but China wanted to sell the US Dollar out.
This would have made the US Dollar so weak compared to any other currency
on the market, it would just cripple the US. Apparently there was some
agreement and China never sold US Dollar out.
(FYI. Every Country has their own currency, the “money” never really
leaves that country. It’s all transferred in and out by their government.
Anyone else read [u:wsy0t8h1]Business Week[/u:wsy0t8h1] besides me ?
The June 18th article is very informative and backs what some of us have thought for years.
“The Real Cost of Offshoring -
Official numbers show that moving jobs overseas hasn’t hurt the economy.
Here’s why those stats are wrong.”
Very Very informative.
We are doing ourselves no favors by sending jobs and buying stuff from out of this country.

Check out chinese cars, in couple years thay made huge step
Was realy surprices whan found in internet big group of chinese companies with wide model lines.
I am in China now, spending a week and a half in China near Shanghai. China is an interesting story, and a remarkable place to visit.
People have been talking for years about importing Chinese cars to the US. It will happen, soon, because anyone importing cars will make a very large profit. Cars are cheap to make in China, but the prices they sell for (in China) are also less than in the US. If you ship cars from China, you still have the lower manufacturing costs but you can set the price much higher than they sell in China. Of course there are design changes required to meet US safety and environment restrictions, but there will still be a large amount of profit to be made in the next 10 years. Beyond 10 years, the profits will shrink as average prices in the US fall and manufacturing costs in China rise.
The domestic auto market in Asia is also important. There are a lot of cars made here and sold here. This year Asia will overtake the US as the largest auto market, with Asia sales estimated at 21 million cars and US sales estimated at 16 million.
Speaking as a “westerner”, it feels odd to visit China and see so many car models that I am not familiar with. It may be possible that most people in the US have never heard of the most popular car in the world. I don’t think this is true now, but it may be true in the next couple years.

no, actually, China reverse engineers all the cool stuff that OTHER countries come up with, then they sell it at a lower price because they build it cheaply (and the Walmart society is too stupid to figure out that if you buy quality you buy something and it works, if you buy junk, you’re buying another one in 6 months.

right, they made huge strides by copying from other companies because for any car to be sold in China, the manufacturer has to agree to share technology. The ‘Big 3’ in the US have been involved in this thinking that China will save them but ultimately, it will probably be their end.
To Alberich: Alberich i agree with you if look for car in terms of safty.
Look at thise case:
Any imported car cost in Russia = original price+25% tax( even with that 30% of chinise models cheaper than our cars, and defenetly cheaper than European or American)
Few weeks ago i seen garage advertisment sale in Moscow (bloody hell thay asked $25000 for it, usual garage, nothing exlusive). If buying good car sure you will go for garage ( and we not earning more than in USA or in Europe). All that lead to limited choice. Buy chinese car, drop it near house and dont care about other extra expences.

[b:2ytwloi8][u:2ytwloi8] Dirty chopsticks picked up in new China scare[/u:2ytwloi8][/b:2ytwloi8]
BEIJING (Reuters) - A Beijing factory recycled used chopsticks and sold up to 100,000 pairs a day without any form of disinfection, a newspaper said on Wednesday, the latest in a string of Chinese food and product safety scares.
The owner, identified only by his surname Wu, had no license to sell the goods, said he had sold 100,000 pairs a day when business was good.
China has said the world should have faith in the “made-in-China” label and that a spate of product recalls has been unfair, biased and politically motivated.

Police punished after lovers fined for a hug[\size]
BEIJING (Reuters) - China has punished three policemen for detaining and fining two young lovers 5,000 yuan ($660) for hugging in public on the Chinese version of Valentine’s Day
Police in China have previously taken a dim view of public displays of affection. Last October, volunteers offering “free hugs” in a shopping street in Beijing were hauled away for questioning.
Chinese military hacked into Pentagon[/size:3l3dzt2j]
The Chinese military hacked into a Pentagon computer network in June in the most successful cyber attack on the US defence department, say American Âofficials.
Current and former officials have told the Financial Times an internal investigation has revealed that the incursion came from the People’s Liberation Army.
The Chinese foreign ministry said the government opposed and forbade “any criminal acts undermining computer systems, including hackingâ€.
“We have explicit laws and regulations in this regard,†said Jiang Yu, from the ministry. “Hacking is a global issue and China is frequently a victim.â€

Egg-walking man pulls car with ears[/size:2wiv0o7w]
A Chinese man has managed to pull a car while walking on eggs without breaking a single egg.Not only did he pull the car 20 metres, he actually did it with his ears!The 38-year-old probably has the strangest talent ever seen, but he sure drew a big crowd while he was pulling the car in Dehui, Jinli.
The onlookers were astonished by the man’s performance. Zhang says he started learning the stunt when he was only 8 years old. Another amazing thing this Chinese can do is pick up a 25 kg bicycle with his mouth while, of course, standing on eggs.

Dog adopts piglet[/size:1xtz2r2e][/color:1xtz2r2e]

China: Orders to use death penalty less[/size:3qoxty70]
BEIJING - China has ordered judges to use the death penalty more sparingly by showing leniency for murderers who cooperate with authorities and white collar criminals who help recoup their ill-gotten gains, the government said Friday.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
The order is the latest effort by Beijing to reform capital punishment in China, which is believed to carry out more court-ordered executions than the rest of the world combined.“Capital punishment should only be given to an extremely small number of serious offenders,” said a statement posted Friday on the Supreme Court’s Web site explaining the new order. The order was issued to provincial courts on Wednesday, it said, without releasing the full text.When possible, the statement said, judges should sentence an offender to death but with a two-year reprieve — a penalty often commuted to life in prison if they behave well in jail.
The order said crimes of passion, such as the murder of a family member or neighbor, should not automatically result in the death penalty if compensation is paid to the victim’s family. Those convicted of economic crimes should also receive lighter penalties if they help authorities recover the money, it said.China regularly executes people for economic, nonviolent and political crimes.On Tuesday, a former official with the Agriculture Bank of China was executed for taking bribes and embezzling bank funds worth about $2 million, according to local media.In July, the country’s former top drug regulator was executed for taking millions of dollars in bribes to approve substandard medicines, including an antibiotic that killed at least 10 people.China doesn’t officially release death sentence figures.Amnesty International says China executed at least 1,770 people in 2005 — about 80 percent of the world’s total. But the true number is thought to be many times higher.While the Supreme Court order called for greater restraint in ordering executions, it still upheld the use of the death penalty as a deterrent.“We must hand down and carry out immediate capital punishment in regard to heinous cases, with ironclad evidence that result in serious social damage,” it said.An amendment to China’s capital punishment law, enacted in November, requires the Supreme People’s Court to approve all death sentences, ending a 23-year-old practice of giving the final review to provincial courts.The change followed reports of executions of wrongly convicted people and criticism that lower courts arbitrarily impose the death sentence.

Doctors baffled by green sweat[/size:2f788a63][/color:2f788a63]
Doctors in China admit they are baffled after a man began to perspire green[/color:2f788a63] sweat.[/size:2f788a63]
[img:2f788a63]http://www.ananova.com/images/web/1179366.jpg[/img:2f788a63]
Cheng Shunguo, 52, of Wuhan city, says his sweat turned green[/color:2f788a63] in the middle of November.
“I noticed that my underwear and bed sheets were all green[/color:2f788a63], and even the water in the shower,” he told the Chutian Metropolis News.
Cheng says he feels no discomfort, but went to hospital because he was worried about his condition.
Doctors thoroughly cleaned his armpits but it took only 10 minutes for his sweat to turn a piece of white gauze green[/color:2f788a63] again.
They have carried out blood tests on Cheng, but found everything to be normal.
“We can’t find the cause,” admitted a spokesman for the hospital which reported the case to the media in the hope of finding a solution.
China cop promoted for breastfeeding quake babies[/size:2tlanr69]
BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese policewoman who breastfed babies orphaned during last month’s earthquake has been given a better job, prompting online protests that promotions should be awarded on merit, not merely for good deeds.

Jiang Xiaojuan, 30, left her own baby with her parents and took part in the disaster relief work, breastfeeding nine babies, earning her the nickname of “the police mum” in the press.
She has since been awarded titles of “hero and model police officer” and “excellent member of the Communist Party”, was appointed to the Communist Party of China Committee of the Jiangyou Public Security Bureau and became the bureau’s vice commissar, Xinhua news agency said on Saturday.
Jiangyou, population 850,000, is a city near the epicentre of the May 12 Sichuan quake which killed more than 69,000 people with thousands still missing.
“Many people voiced objections when the Jiangyou government sought public opinion after making the promotion,” Xinhua said. “They said an official position should not be used to promote a moral model.”
There were also supporters of Jiang’s promotion, saying that what she did showed she was a good public servant.
Indeed :twisted:
