there is none. look at the world map and see where's china and where's carribean. Chinese participation in world trade might have boosted the Panama Canal traffic, but that's about it.

Well, I don't know everything but here are some things ...\n\n1. They are building a new city the size of Philadelphia (1 million people) every month.  The Chinese economy is BOOMING.\n2. They can make furniture of same quality as Broyhill, and sell this furniture to Broyhill for the price Broyhill pays for just the wood in the US (The point is that China can make and export almost everything we make, for a tiny fraction of what it cost to make it in the US).\n3. Chinese national pride is HUGE, and so Chinese do not like to buy American.  But, Americans love to buy Chinese (Almost, everything you see in Walmart is Chinese.)\n4. China's military is getting ready to take back Taiwan (they have a HUGE military build up working in that direction).\n5. China's military is recruiting engineers at a very rapid rate.  Soon, they will have a VERY advanced military.\n6. China is making some strong treaties with Russia.\n7. China announced a few months ago that they are launching 300 satelites "to watch their people".  You don't need 300 satelites for a country that size.  300 satelites are enough to watch the whole world.\n\nSo, to summarize . . . The US has become the middle man of the world economy, and China is the manufacturing center.  If the world decides to cut us out and buy Chinese at the same time the world decides that the US should pay $10 or $20 per gallon for gas (which may happen), then China becomes the new World Power and the US becomes a third world country full of starving people (of course, WWIII might come first).\n\nPray that our next president is a great diplomat and not a John Wayne want-a-bee.

Chinese immigration in México has been around for a while. You'll find a lot of chinese descendant in states in the pacific, like Sinaloa, Sonora and Baja California. The chinese population in several states have been growing noticeable in the past few years. The same goes for Korean population, but that wasn't part of your question.\n\nI've met enough people that are half chinese that I don't know much about the "discriminatory society" part. I think the discrimination is average, like every other multicultural society.

The Chinese economy has adopted a policy of laissez faire capitalism that they call market reforms in order to convince their citizens they are still a communist country. These market reform have led for instance to the cheap labor you refered to and are signifcant because they have led to the state being even less involved in the Chinese economy than in the US. The reason they are still viewed as communist is their curtailment of free speech and free press. The econmic growth you are referring to however is mostly enjoyed by the people who were wealthy to begin with and have now gotten even wealthier while the poor have become even poorer. So the short answer is the government no longer has a significant role in the economy of China.

apart from being an actual chain of 3 islands in the western Carribbean which I'm guessing you don't mean the islands associated with tax fruad and money laundering. As a tax haven it was possible to avoid paying tax on incomes or paying less if they were chanelled through banks in the Caymans. This lead to a lot of criminal activity, drug trafficking etc going on which the government partly turned a blind eye to. That was in the 60s-90s think its cleaned up a lot since though but don't really know. hope thats a help

Immigrants who are not a drain on the society, but rather contribute to it ...

The natives didn't necessarily have social classes.  There was a division of labor, and people did what they were good at or born to do, but everyone contributed to the society.  There were priests or shamans or medicine men, a number of chiefs-war chiefs as one example, warriors, hunters, and the women.  No one was really higher than anyone else.

Other than what? Many Chinese people were involved in building the railroads.

I would argue the largest social / economic transformation was "trade / travel by water" from 1492 - 1750.

Well,the Chinese save up more of their income and they also invest more of their money into education,so...it goes without saying,China is the next America.

america is out to make china rich.  Not intentionally only because china can be smarter than america.  They know to make the money.  America wants to suck you dry then give other country's the oppurtunity to succeed.  It's a bunch of bull.  feed the hungry in another country but not take care of our hurricane victims.  cut our social security. Oh don't get me started

It is too hard to tell right now, but that does seem to be a good guess at this point.  Their economy is growing at an insane rate and their population makes the US look like a small village.\n\nOne problem for China though is the unity of the people.  From what I have heard, many of the Chinese in rural areas and in certain sections of the country do not feel a strong attachment to the government, and some even want independence.  The repressive government is also not helping matters.  With such a large area and so many people it is very difficult to maintain unity.\n\nIt will be interesting to see what happens, but I hope if the future does belong to China that it will be accompanied by rational and democratic reforms and an overhaul of their human rights policies (or lack of).

Cotton was a big one.  I imagine sugar too, since that's where it comes from.  Lets not forget tea.  Spices of course.  Precious jewels, art, artifacts, etc.  Workers; Indian laborers were sent all over the commonwealth.

Apart from the riches brought from those far lands, there was a great contribute to science - geography, math, geometry, astronomy. etc - due to sailing. Kings became more poweful, and at the same time there was a development in the way of thinking - the Renaissance. Apart from the cultural developments, the social and economical areas also were stirred by the Discoveries. Spices and tea were as expensive as gold, gold itself came from overseas, as well as exquisite fabrics, china, and the worse part came along too: slavery.
