Their economy and middle class are exploding, how much longer do the Communists have in China?

The economy and middle class are indeed growing at a fast pace in China, but the majority of Chinese still live the way they did 30 or 40 years ago.  I think the chinese government is trying to slowly convert the country into a capitalist - or at least a french-style socialist - society without making the mistakes Gorbachev made in USSR 15-20 years ago.  Time will tell if they succeed, though there are rumors of increasing discontent in the rural areas.  The same thing happened in the US in 1920s - right before the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression.  Hopefully China will not suffer the same fate.

The way things are looking these days, Chinese will be in big demand.

An Asian police state?  No, China's government is in a state of flux.  Right now,  China's society seems to be stratified; there isn't much middle ground between the haves and the have nots.  The government is designed to provide for the have nots, but the power of big businesses (from outside investment) is something the government currently can't check.  In time, the government will obtain the resources to correct this imbalance.  China has no intention of subjugating its people, if that's what you mean.

After the end of WW II, the Chinese Communist Party succeeded in controling the country and driving out the forces of Chang Kai Schek ( sp? ) in 1949.  China has to go its own direction.

Not any more.\nThe government is still behined most things but in Beijing, Shanghai and Gunzhou there are many businessmen who now own their own businesses. I work with many of them every day.

China. Because they are in transition from purely communistic economy to a blended communist/capitalist. \n\nSorry not 500 words.

none.\n\nThey have so many seats but they can't be able to control them. \n\nThey can't survive without the communists.

Open the China to the World. Open it up. The Communist Era and The Socialist Era were over.

No way, China is fast becoming a superpower. I think they will eventually become a superpower beyond what the world has ever seen. They are already in a position to make the US go bankrupt whenever they decide it will be in their best interest.

Where do they spend their money?  China has opened her borders but her people still suffer.  Obviously the government is benefitting but most likely because of corruption the advantages don't trickle down.  \n\nAny time a country transitions from an agricultural lifestyle to an industrial one there will be a flocking to the cities for work but high unemployment.  Asians are very hard workers.  The free enterprise system should bring the best out in them.  Perhaps the government should subsidize individual companies with start up funds as long as they hire X amount of employees.

China is already a major threat to the US. Our economies are so tightly linked that China could take us down any time they want. The problem for them is that it would destroy their economy also. Then the question becomes, do they care about their economy or their people? It's the MAD doctrine all over again, but waged through economics instead of nuclear weapons.

This is the result of a long process of sinicization of the world. China has always been regarded as aggressive, therefore, 2/5 of its territory is occupied after the communist regime, break-away taiwan is another proof of the communist regimes stance. Tibet, Xinjiang (East Turkistan) Inner Mongolia are a few among those who are not of yellow races, accordingly, not Han Chinese (ghuo). they are Tibetan buddhists, Turkic Uyghurs or Mongols. Huis are another one represented as a star on the chinese flag. I am afraid political leaders and officials are not well-aware of this policy. They only care for money, capital investments, but not capital punishment, gross human rights abuses committed by the communist regime.

The USA is on its way out that's why.\n\nWhy not lash out before i sink..the theory is..to me anyway.\n\nNot from tanks or bombs, but from economic collapse.\n\nFACT: Within 15 years CHINA will be the greatest economic force on this planet.
