China's Rising Power Status

[TheLoneCastaway]

God I've been watching a few Gallup videos and DAMN are the people who run this channel Chinese? Doesn't get more anti-American, pro-Chinese that frickin Gallup!

[77777XYZ]

all people is not equal under the communism china,most of people is so poor,but major communist has so many privilege,car house food etc etc,,,,,,major communist in china just want to keep those privilege,so that why they killed historical amount of their citizen,its typical characteristic of communism,communist kill their against people without any permission necessary,china is perfectly lawless zone,chinese communist party killed historical amount of people for keep major communist`s privilege

[Zendout1]

They don't have any Liberals there

[karmlan123]

@Zendout1 Liberal to kill innocent in Iraqis and Afghanistan?

[heomak]

i am happpy for the chinese people to enjoy economic success but never forget what their leaders have done to the people of Tibet which they are now trying so hard to sino-fy. No bad blood with the average Chinese guy or girl. Their govt suck though. God willing, democracy and freedom will come to the China. I know many Chinese say they don't want it but that's cuz they're well off and haven't yet hit any walls. Tell that to the peasants who have been forcibly evicted and silenced & imprisoned.

[fdoca]

@heomak Ur China info is outdated, China last year spent 4% of her GDP(7.2 trillion US$) in the rural area for the poor people, Do u know that Chinese gorvmt built 86 million sq/meter apartment complex for the poor people? yes, they did. today China is a role model of the world. Their state only care about their people. see how chinese ppl luv their arm force man, Never seen something like it. arm force is ppl protector, america? gorvmt squeez tax payer like parasite, forget it

[fdoca]

STOP PRINTING THE DOLLAR BILLS !!!

US doallar will devaluating at 50% off, CONTROL SPENDING !!!

IRRESPONSIBLE GORVMT !!

Now many country are use non dollar as trade currency cz to cut the devaluation risk, WAKE UP AMERICAN !!!

[MrVeggie247]

@fdoca Plz just die... quitely if possible...

[flagship21]

Maybe then Chinese guys will get white women

[eccelerator]

In actuallity... chinese men really do not like white women. They are not as educated, they have no etiquette, they get overweight easily, and they age very fast. Also they have bad skin. They tend to be a little barbaric. Just saying not all but some...

[SHYBONER]

The only POWER that will exist now and for a very long time perhaps 4 ever , is that of the United States... China does not even compare to the US.. 1st of all China is not 100% with the FREEDOM RIGHTS so the people would not accept it as the World Leader, 2ND the US has a better shot at making reasonable decisions on issues due to the diversity of people it has... 3rd i will never serve communist country... and to top it off their girls have no ass OR tits, i'm not interested...ENOUGH SAID

[gabynew1]

@SHYBONER you make no sense.

1. freedom rights is not equal to economical & military power, infact the lack of rights give china the edge; i am not saying it's a good thing just a fact.

2. most modern democratic countried & usa are neck deep in birocracy we are slow to react & adapt, the semi dictatorship in china allows them to quickly act.

3. you say that now but if a china founded company offers you a job when you have none you will take it.

4. the wemen ...yeah..not a strong point there.

[cakelover33]

@SHYBONER AMEN

[shyamranger]

SeXyAs1AnK1D is stupid i say it from Nepal.

[gooksaint07]

China won't be a superpower, China doesn't want to be a superpower. China has almost never been the aggressor in its 5,000 year history. They don't give a fuck, as long as it doesn't enter their borders. They don't care if your country needs help, they will mind their own business until the end and that is why Russia, Europe and Latin America will always respect China

[SeXyAs1AnK1D]

R u stupid or u r uneducated???

[otterboxiphone]

You are stupid sexyas1ank1d. You are indeed a kid. Get lost and go back to your mom's breast.

[khoto74]

I.3 billion humans says you are stupid SeXyAs1AnK1D.

[SeXyAs1AnK1D]

first of all, do some researches then comment! or matter of fact, let me tell you dimwit. In 2008, China surpassed Germany and closing rapidly on Japan. Now, in 2009, Japan is the 3rd worlds largest economy, behind the United States and China. Chinas economy is now a half the size of the $14 trillion U.S. economy, but given plausible growth rates in both countries, Chinas output will exceed Americas in the 2020s.

[SeXyAs1AnK1D]

Chinas growth will be underpinned by a rapid expansion in emerging market

economies, which will account for about 70% of global GDP growth in

the coming decade.

Addition, Madeleine Albright said that "It is very important not to have China as an enemy and to try to bring it in as much as possible into world organizations." She thinks that at the least the United States (people like you dimwit) underestimates the growing power of China.

[Phead128]

@SeXyAs1AnK1D.

Why is this so surprising? China for the past 18/20 centuries have been the largest economy on earth.

US didn't exist until only two centuries ago. US is the anomaly blip that ppl should be worried about. US is a baby power in terms of age compared to China.

[nirvanaincage]

well said

[ulleule]

@gooksaint07 china should indeed retake it position as leading power.. usa was just a lucky coffident

[heomak]

@gooksaint07 china has almost never been the aggressor in its 5, 000 year history..what about tibet, east turkestan and inner mongolia?

minus these three vast countries with their own unique history and culture, china would be geographically way smaller than it is today and not to mention way less successful( resources are abundant in these regions that have been now forcibly incorporated as Chinese provinces).

it was 4 or so decades back that China invaded Indian territory!

[karmlan123]

@heomak May we know what is wrong to take back and reclaim lost land own thousands of years back. Then pls explain what is wrong when compared to flying few thousands miles to the other corner of the world to kill Iraqis and Afghanistanis?

Why don't you ask America to free their own back to the original natives, including Hawaii. Your country hate China but the WHOLE world HATE your country. Look at yr Twin Tower on 11 Sept. Tell me why it happened?

[ervin920]

@gooksaint07 fuck you. we will be a superpower. and the us will be like russia

[ticrak1]

I suppose only time will tell  ^_^

[seannyslow]

the truth = China has great strenghes and weakness altogether. it's somewhat early to worship/humble China.

[segregator236]

China currently has the world's 2nd most billionaires, at 146. Check up on Li Ka Shing.

China is also now the world technology leader, says GT.

[nauruforever555]

It already has been replaced by India, a couple of european countries, Japan, Russia, Brazil and many others

[uneamie1017]

More Chinese are eager to show that China is way better than what is expected by the western world. I don't think that is necessary. 1) Such eagerness of self-demonstration is based on us Chinese people's stagnant assumption of the world's perception on us, which is outdated; 2) it makes Chinese people seem arrogant; 3) we demonstrate something by actually achieving that. One important lesson preparing to be a great power: Be humble, Do NOT Brag about it!

[Kr4zyAc3]

hey united states brag about by getting into liberations and there much expensive programs

[xingfenzhen]

interesting how almost every stock is going down at 1:02. In asian countries, red is up, green is down; quite the opposite of how they are here

[leoachilles]

I left China almost 20 years ago, with my dad being one of the wealthy business man in china, all of his assets were worth around 70,000 AUD.

now my cousin in china, who was in a relatively poor family, earns at least 1,000,000 yune a year, that's 250,000 AUD.

and more interestingly, the number of people who earns as much as her or more, are larger than the population of Aus!!!

[dlobrown8888]

I'd like to hear if I am looking up the right article, is china really the next superpower more or less than 2020????

[YourPartofEVIL]

don't worry I'm sure that china had plenty of time to rehearse their moves. 70 times over. lol.

They hook you up trust me, money is worthless paper, fuckin idiots.

[emceemike]

11 years is a long time. Anything could happen. Economists cannot even predict accurately 1 year into the future. The answer is:, this question is answerless and useless.

[seannyslow]

before 2020? I doubt. But after that, who knows? It's already one of the most imporatant nations on the planet

[dlobrown8888]

I doubt that too, I still think China's got a long way to go, despite the significant progress, all doing extremely well. China is already is a superpower but not seeking complete hegemony, in fact China has already brought influence distrubuted all over the east. For now the world is US, PRC and the EU are the worlds major superpower. If it was the case for China to seek dominance completely all over the world, probably the next 180 years from now. Honestly speaking

[seannyslow]

agreed

[dlobrown8888]

U.S - current superpower (position #1)

PRC - next superpower (position #2)

according to gdp (ppp) stats...

[makethebestoutoflife]

Man, just returned a business trip from China.. I must say.. there's a trenmendous bustling of activities.. seems everybody's making money one way or another, and they're making big money.. this fast constant moving of business activities.. incredible.. Shit when I returned to the US.. everything's moving in slow motion. What's wrong with the picture?

[lion2010]

There will be 2 super powers - US and Europe. China, India and or any other will never replace. China will only be a regional power in Asia.

[crazydancingpoet]

FINALLY, the West is seeing its decline and eventual demise.

[iwatchmassvideo]

China is set for an ecological disaster. They(within 10 years) became the largest polluter in the world(as of 2007), what took us 100s of years to establish, they did in 10. They're people are running out of water(fact:China is building the largest water system), their air quality is horrible, they can't even breeth without masks in most cities, and their farmland is being over-run by chemical infested water. I feel sorry for whoever lives in China that is not wealthy.

[nartin86]

You are like any other Westerner. Everything you understand about China is from the popular media. I don't think you understand anything about China at all. You should live in China for a couple of years before posting these comments.

'misunderstood your competitor won't make you competitive', that's the reason China is rising, which is what I'm waiting for.

[iwatchmassvideo]

I'm not misunderstanding China, I actually reserched this shit. China has one of the worst environments on the planet, smog so bad they couldn't breathe in Beijing, Algae from chemical dumping in China so bad they could not swim and had to get 15,000 workers to clean it up, AND China's cities are running dry, they are now making the largest irrigation system to quickly fix the problem, China's Three Gorges Dam, is being corroded by chemicals in the water, it's pathetic.

[nartin86]

research? what websites did you use for researching? Fox? CNN? NBC? ABC? CBS? BBC? You don't understand anything about pollution. There're 2 kinds of pollution you've heard about China from the media, but they never explain to you how the pollution actually work.

#1: dust(from mainly construction), this kind of dust would fall to the ground within 24 hrs after building demolition. Once it fall to the ground, it's the same as sand on the ground, desert. Therefore, this won't make any harm.

[nartin86]

#2: Chemical pollution(mainly carbon dioxide), this kind of pollution, if released, would join the amount already in the sky and spread around the world, and affect everyone on earth. Talk about carbon dioxide, the US is still the number 1 polluter annually. About 90% of carbon dioxide released by human and circling the earth are from developed countries in the last 100 years. How much do you think China have contributed since it started developing?

[nartin86]

talk about smog? smog is formed from smoke(coal burning) and surfur dioxide. smog today resulted mostly smoke from automobile (combining with dust and rain). The only city in China that has the amount of car that can be compared to any U.S. city is Beijing. I guess American cities are full of poison floating around due to this. Also, you should research about chemical pollution released into American rivers first.

[nartin86]

Let me recommend to you a better way to do research. The best way to research about China is to visit China and spend a little time there. Sitting around and reading foxnews is not researching. How do you think the ordinary Russians research about the fact that American landed on the moon or not? They watch Russian TV, read Russian sites. Do you think the Russians think that Americans landed on the moon from their own research?

Even I don't think Americans landed on moon.

[nartin86]

Who told you that Americans landed on Moon? Foxnews? NBC? During the cold war, the space race between the US and USSR was about whoever gets out of the atmosphere first. American lost the race, and 2 years later suddenly announced that they landed on Moon. Is there a better way to save face than doing that? How did they get the technology to land on Moon within 2 years. How advance they were that the next trip to moon would be decades away. See how powerful the media is?

[iwatchmassvideo]

Hmm, the fact our flag.. is on the moon isn't proof enough for you? Private companies can take you out to the atmosphere right now if you want.. but who can go to the moon? The mooner lander had the computer capacity of modern-day calculators, if that. Landing on the moon is actually, easy. Get radiation protection, some rockets, and bam, it's not like you slam through the moons atmosphere or anything. Also, it took alot of failures to get there. Who's still active in space right now? LOL.

[nartin86]

ok, american flag on the moon; and I have seen arnold schwarzenegger on the red planet in his movie also.

[iwatchmassvideo]

So you do not think we landed on the moon? Fine, your entitled to your ignorant false opinion.

[nartin86]

I'm not the only one that does not believe in American landing on the moon. If you spend time reading news or opinion of other countries, you would see that there are many countries that don't believe this. You see, American media has done a good job of telling Americans that they landed on the moon. If you hear about space race on American TV, the first thing you would hear is not that whoever go into space first, instead whoever landed on moon first.

[nartin86]

Many Americans don't even know what sputnik is. How many time have you ever seen Niel Armstrong on TV. It looks like he's extinct after landing on the moon.

[iwatchmassvideo]

I know what country that went into space first, Russia. BUT they got to space, we went to the moon. I can launch a monkey into space but who can land of the fucking moon? Whatever, when we go back to the moon in 2010 and mars by 2015 you tell me who's ahead of who.

[nartin86]

lol...2010? 2015? good luck! and keep on your way of researching!

[iwatchmassvideo]

Mhmm, the mars one is actually 2020(planned manned mission), the 2010 one is just another lander. Moon space race will be starting up because China wants to go to the moon and the thinking of the USA is we got to be number 1 :P

[nartin86]

yeah....and I got to build a spaceship for myself too, because I need to go to the Sun next year.

[iwatchmassvideo]

Whatever, ignore NASA's own schedule and projects in the making. The lunar lander is already being put together.

[nartin86]

The last time I heard about this project is that it's for 2025 or 2030 something, that's not counting the delaying time; but I think this is just a talk show by Bush. If it happens, then that will be 70 years after the first announcement of landing on the moon. Isn't this weird? 70 years.

[iwatchmassvideo]

The predicted and set date as of right is 2020 for manned mission to mars. If delays happen push it back.. 1-2 years but since China is getting involved in space, your gonna see the "space race" speed up fast. In about 10-20 years there will probably be space hotels around the Earth, private companies been taking civilians up into space for years now.

[nartin86]

lol...I think you've watch too much hypes on TV.

Right now, the only way civilians can go out into space is to pay the Russian $20 million. It takes months or years to train so that normal people can adapt in space environment. Private companies cannot actually go out into space. There's a height from Earth's surface that is considered the to be between the atmosphere and space. Private companies can only send people pass that height and then fall back due to gravity.

[nartin86]

This height is internationally considered as space, but it's still affected by the Earth's gravity. The vehicle that private companies built is only about the size of a couple Hummers. This space vehicle go into space by sticking to a giant rocket, and that rocket is stick to an airplane. The airplane would fly to its max hight, then releases the rocket. The rocket then shoots into space near that height, then release the vehicle.

[nartin86]

the vehicle only has one tight tiny seat that carries a single expert, experience pilot; and there's a big risk that the vehicle would blow up. Therefore, this was just an experiment to reach the height that is consider space. If it's as easy as you said then why would the US, Russia and China spent tens of billions for space programs? I think NASA has spent at least close to a trillion for its shuttle project. This is the reason that today only 3 countries have that ability.

[nartin86]

To my knowledge, those private companies were racing to reach that 'space' height in order to earn a $20 million reward. How much you think they spent for their project? There's a difference between that 'space' height and actual outer space. Only one company's vehicle reached that height and went out of gas, and glide back to earth.

[iwatchmassvideo]

Lol you are not getting it. It's a start, people probably laughed at the Wright brothers when they made the first airplane but look 40 years down the road... the airplane was a major part of the military. People need to start somewhere and if we start going up into space by private companies, soon the average middle-class will go up, then hotels will be made for rich,etc.

[nartin86]

I know that Americans are stupid; but I didn't know that there's a more stupid American like you. You have no knowledge of all the thing you're arguing. Go back to your TV and watch Foxnews!

[iwatchmassvideo]

Wow, I'm so sorry for believing mankind will eventually get smarter and move to space. I mean, it's not like we don't have airlines or ships or anything. It's not like private companies took over old technologies. Your ignorant. It is INEVITABLE that private companies get involved into space.

[nartin86]

Did I say anything about private companies cannot go into space?

Everything needs a start, everyone knows that.

This is what you say: "In about 10-20 years there will probably be space hotels around the Earth, private companies been taking civilians up into space for years now."

I was arguing about that 10-20 yrs is not enough; and private companies have never taken any civilian into space.

Can you go back and read carefully?

Do I have to write 3 paragraphs everytime?

[nartin86]

and don't mention the wright brothers; I don't believe this story.

[iwatchmassvideo]

Yes, a private company has taken a civilian into space. They'll take you up for around $200,000(obviously for the rich right now). But yes, the international space station is going to offer us so much knowlage it won't be funny. Nearly every product we use today is a product of what we learned in space. Wright brothers DID invent aviation, wether you believe it or not, it's a fact.

[nartin86]

funny even no european or japan can take people into space, talk about private companies.

you watched too much foxnews

[iwatchmassvideo]

Didn't Virgin gallactic start up this year? But I thought that was just suborbital space, which is still space sorta.

[nartin86]

Stop watching too much foxnews!

[LateralBud]

Eh. US is still better to live in than China. At least we have YouTube!

[allostericcortiso]

lol. we get tudou, youku, 54... tons of vedio sharing websites. Did youtube pay movie company in order to let it share movie??? NO!but chinese website do!!! LMAO. but don't worry, at least you still get some almost bankrupted car company.

[nartin86]

next 50 years? I say within 10 years, or it has already happened.

Cellphones in the US are from stone age comparing to those used in Asia and Europe.

btw, I'm not Chinese

[iwatchmassvideo]

Yeah but read my other comment about Chinas end. They fucked up big time.

[emonyeka]

china is bound to out grow the US in the next decade

[arroy624]

alright had my facts straight, cellphone users in china top 565 million at the end of february, and the u.s. population by the time i post this was 304.3 million. rofl.

[yuppy333]

whatever you say, China is a centrury behind the US, don't get me wrong, I love Chinese food and culture, but I really doubt if they do have cell phones at all........

[Chinese12346]

You can travel to China and open your eyes, after all you'll be your own judge.

[iQing]

Latest news : China replaced USA as having the most netizens in the world. More record breakings will come so let the statistic speaks. Americans are far lazier than Chinese people

[CHNyigetc]

Omg, do you live on Earth?

[zhouij]

He does. Except his body is in 2008 yet his brain got stuck back at 1970

[superxy1000]

China has 400+ million cell phone users, more than population of USA. Go to china and see, the gleaming cities will surprise u.

[allostericcortiso]

hey, the cell phone you are using right now,is the wash out phones which we were using 4 years ahead of you. LMAO!!!

[oki81]

just the opposite... the chinese phones are actually much more advanced than american phones.. maybe the japs got better gadgets.. but when it comes to electronics.. man USA is way behind...

[allostericcortiso]

yup, i was telling what you said to that stupid red neck yankee. cheers

[shiryuuclone]

rofl............. i highly doubt you weren't the product of incest

[arroy624]

rofl.... the number of people with cellphones in china is larger than the population of u.s... check out other youtube videos about china. a typical chinese cell phone number is 1xxxxxxxxxx.

[Powa2]

Theres actually 3 kinds of powers, Economy, Energy, and Military. China is an economic superpower but it's miliary is subpar and it's lacking in any sufficient energy as in oil, natural gas, etc.

[bramcorleone]

So you conclude Russia is the real superpower?

[superxy1000]

Why is USA squabbling over a small increase in china's military budget.

[imlite]

It depends on how you define a Superpower. Some would say that the economic power that China now wields makes it more potent than the USA.

When it comes to military power China owns the USA. How can America stand up to a 5 or more to 1 majority on the battlefield? Remember what Chairman Mau said -- In a war with the West Chinese communism would always win through simple numerical superiority.

[lion2010]

Europe is economically bigger than US but does not have same military force - ie combined military. USA has a far more superior military over China - numbers are nothing in todays society of modern nuclear submarines, nuclear weapons and fighter jets - technologically speaking, China's military is rusty and decades behind!

[dzhuang]

Japan could never replace the US due to many factors

1) Huge US military Presense

2) Pacifist constituion limiting international role and military

3) limited population

4) Too close ties with US some even comparing it to a defacto US colony
