Actually sadly enough, I believe China blew their chance for world power in this decade. They grew too much, polluted TOO much, and their people want more than the communist government gives. The human factor "want" is the ultimate weapon of communism, people will always want more which means communism can never last. China has polluted so much they can't breathe well,their waters are chemical and algae infested,and their land is covered in pesticides from them overusing it, China is in troub

Are we as a nation to accomodate every nationality that enters America by having teachers that can teach Vietnamese, Spanish, Korean, Laotian, etc. ad nauseum? This is an ENGLISH speaking country where my Italian forefathers LEARNED the language AND the CUSTOMS, in order to be a citizen! Wake up America, stand up and defend the majority rule, and put all Senators and Congressman on the same retirement of the COMMON man; and then Social Security will be fixed!!! Wahpoose

What would happen to the Chinese if they closed up shop and didn't talk to world like it did for 3,000 years during that one dynasty?

Well the other nations leave them alone like they did for 3,000 years except for the Mongols that is.

I think China just needs to really consider this for awhile, might be good for every other nation as well.

Maybe force your own nations to produce it's own plastic goods, electronics, textiles, etc.

All of you can be employed in your own nations and countries!
