It will take a while, but sooner or later Google will rule the world. Knowledge is power. Right now the Chinese are still in their internet infancy. They'll grow up eventually and realize that the only way to maintain in the global community is to know your friends and your enemies.

The Chinese bought Clinton and several key Republicans. They hold bargining chips such as not invading Taiwan in exchange for access to our markets on top of the outright bribery going on. \n\nChina is no friend of ours. They openly wish to rid the world of the US. What they would do were the US out of the way is quite simply invade a large chunk of Asia. The Chinese can be extremly xnophobic as evidenced by the ethnic purges against Chinese of Vietmese heritage about 20 years ago and what is going on in Nepal today. So life in an occupied nation would be sheer hell for most. The only thing keeping China from doing this is the US. \n\nEconomically China even if kept in check territorially is they will undermine market after market. They will use the Microsoft philosphy and not worry about quality, rather they will flood the market with cheap goods. Kill off the compitition then up the price to the max the market will bear. So nation after nation will see their economies wrecked as China moves into areas they see an opportunity in. Remember China is only a partial capitalist society. It is still heavily guided and controled by the Chinese Gov. So what is good for biz takes a back seat to what is good for China's interest. If a private invester gets out of line China will just lock them up and take the biz away. \n\nEcologically we are priming the world for disaster. China has no concern for the environment. If they take a concern it will be just enough to placate potential customers and all show. The net effect will be especially heavy on Asia as the polution and industrial wastes start to pile up. \n\nThe only good thing happening with the industrialization of China is the standard of living is increasing and the more widespread technlology becomes the better able Democracy advocates are able to operate in China. So there is hope that this industrialization will lead to Democracy in China. Democracy will solve imperialism and ecological issues, or at least tamp them down to something reasonable.

China (simplified Chinese: 中国, Traditional Chinese: 中國, pinyin: Zhōngguó; listen (help·info)) is a geographical region in East Asia and Central Asia. With over one-fifth of the world's population, the majority of China exists today as a state known as the People's Republic of China, but it also refers to a long-standing civilization comprising successive states and cultures dating back more than 4,000 years.\n\nWith one of the world's longest periods of mostly uninterrupted civilization and the world's longest continuously used written language system, China's history has been largely characterized by repeated divisions and reunifications amid alternating periods of peace and war, and violent imperial dynastic change. The country's territorial extent expanded outwards from a core area in the North China Plain, and varied according to its changing fortunes to include multiple regions of East, Northeast, and Central Asia. (The term "China proper" is used by some observers and historians to describe the core territory historically home to the majority Han Chinese, as opposed to lands associated later with China such as what is now Xinjiang.) For centuries, Imperial China was also one of the world's most technologically advanced civilizations, and East Asia's dominant cultural influence, with an impact lasting to the present day.\n\nBy the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, China's political, economic, and military influence declined relative to the growing regional power of Japan and the influence of Western powers. The imperial system in China ended with the establishment of the Republic of China (ROC) under Sun Yat-sen in 1912; however, the next four decades of ROC rule were marred by warlord control, the Second Sino-Japanese War during which the Empire of Japan occupied large parts of China, and the Chinese Civil War which pitted Chinese Nationalists against the Communist forces.\n\nAfter its victory in the Chinese Civil War, the Communist Party of China under Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, forcing the Nationalists to retreat and relocate the ROC government to the island of Taiwan, which it had governed since the end of World War II. Since then, the ROC has maintained administrative control over Taiwan, the Pescadores Islands, several islands off the coast of Fujian province including Kinmen and the Matsu Islands, and some islands in the South China Sea.\nShanghai, China's largest city\nEnlarge\nShanghai, China's largest city\nMount Tai in Shandong province\nEnlarge\nMount Tai in Shandong province\nContents\n[hide]\n\n    * 1 Terminology\n          o 1.1 "Zhongguo"--The Central Kingdom\n          o 1.2 "China"\n          o 1.3 "Cathay"\n    * 2 History\n    * 3 Chinese Pre-history\n    * 4 Political history\n    * 5 Territory\n          o 5.1 Historical overview\n          o 5.2 Historical political divisions\n          o 5.3 Geography and climate\n    * 6 Economy\n    * 7 Society\n          o 7.1 Demographics\n          o 7.2 Culture\n          o 7.3 Religion\n          o 7.4 Arts, scholarship, and literature\n          o 7.5 Science and technology\n    * 8 Miscellaneous topics\n    * 9 See also\n\n[edit]\n\nTerminology\n\n    Main article: Names of China\n\n[edit]\n\n"Zhongguo"--The Central Kingdom\nGeography of China and geographic region labels\nEnlarge\nGeography of China and geographic region labels\n\nChina is called zhong guo in Mandarin Chinese (Simplified: 中国, Traditional: 中國; also romanized as Jhongguo or Chung-kuo), which is usually translated as "Middle Kingdom."

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.

China is doing a great job right now of owning America. Everytime you shop at Walmart, China gets a big chunk of change. Even the GI Joe dolls you might buy for your kids because you want to feel "patriotic" is made in Chinese slave labor "reeducation camps."\n\nAnd who do you think is financing the war in Iraq? We are spending billions of dollars every week. Where is that money coming from? Certainly not from taxes: the government in charge right now says that the rich folks do not need to pay taxes. The money is coming in in the form of loans. And that money is coming from China and the Saudis.\n\nThe Chinese have even refused to let their currency rise to its natural level. The hold the Yuan to our dollar. It is in their best interest...right now.\n\nNotice that we can get all huffy about Iran maybe in 10 years having a nuclear weapon. Guess what, the Chinese have had them for years. \n\nAnd it is good for American business (no longer American, by the way, since most big businesses are multi-nationals) to sell things to China. Nuclear secrets from Los Alamos was just a hop and skip away from the McDonalds franchise. \n\nSo, Chinese taking over America? If you are worried, stop buying things at Walmart. First step.

Yehh.. i have actually! The main reason being that I'm FROM Singapore.. hehe. \nOk lame, but hey.. I'm a fellow Singaporean so you'll cut me some slack right?\nI know where its located of course.. and no, its nowhere near China peeps!\nAlways wondered why even as Singapore is becoming an increasingly reknowned country, many still dunno where its truly located. \nGood question to poll whether ppl still think Singapore is a part of China, Jason!  :)

Briefly:\n\nPhilippines - overpopulation, rebels in the hills, gov't that seems to be easily be distracted - the easy answer might be to say corrupt, difficult to escape the economic powerhouses of China, Japan, & Australia to really establish any real economic base. Faced with cultural issues of being supressed/led/managed/abandoned by Spanish & Americans over last 300 years.\n\nSingapore - tiny. Can an authoritative gov't really instill creativity entrepenurship (they want to be a Silicon Valley of the East). Will they be usurped by HK/Shanghai as regional HQ on many multinationals? Will there be a problem with Malay & Malaysia going forward?

First off, it's "I wonder WHAT people think about chinese businesses."\n\nThats an easy one. In America, If you live in the mid west then they hate them because media tells them that cheap chinese labor prices kill american jobs. And??? ITS TRUE.\n\nBut they are mistaken that its just labor prices, part of it has to do with the fact that the state and federal government impose ridiculous environmental standards that manufacturing companies in the US have no way of complying with. For example in CA a manufacturing company that I know is closing down due to \n\n1. the fact that its 1000% cheaper to make the part overseas\n2. the government makes us do ridiculous things like, test rain water runoff from the roof??? how can small manufacturing business comply with things like this and still concentrate to make their businesses better.\n\nSo, its like a snake eating it's own head. And its not only china but many other countries as well. India is taking mid level call center jobs, programming tech, Japan the auto industry.\n\nBut hey, at least we have the largest military and we can take over any other countries resources we want.\n\nThings will never stop changing though, look at whats happened in the last 100 years.\n\nThe Roman empire thought they would never disappear, but they were the largest and greatest empire of their time. Now people ask Romans? whats a Roman?
