  • @0r14n583lt we are not war maniacs like the americans or the europeans tends to be. white people tends to think that because they themselves are war maniacs(Ex:war against Iraq, war against Iran in the making.), so should the rest of the world be war maniacs as well. its a dumb idea in my view. cuz Chinese are more peaceful people than the white war maniacs

  • chinas one child policy will be its demise, no need to worry about them

  • I don't fear China. China has monumental problems to face in the 21st century that the USA hasn't had to deal with in over a hundred years. Which isn't to say that we will remain top dog forever, but I don't think the Chinese are the threat to world peace that some would have you believe.

  • As Napoleon Bonaparte once said....

  • @Englandistrash I didnt realise he was a bastard even though he is a member of the Scottish aristocracy ??

  • Chinese nationalism will lead to China's destruction. Examples: Rwanda, Serbia, Japan, Germany ...twice. If China wants to survive as a great power in the longer term, they will need to drop the nationalism. Nationalism is a cancer that kills it's host.

  • can someone please ask this British bastard to shut up!
