China is likely to resume its role as the worlds largest economy by 2015

Chinese economic prospects for the next 30 years will not be diminished by the international financial crisis, says the author of "Chinese Economic Performance in the Long Run", Angus Maddison, as he launches the second edition of the book. More on http://www.oecd.org/dev

China is a modern society and freedom for the chinese people; it is not the chinese are control their population; a lot countries from the west do not allow chinese tourist in their country. I think a lot of people just saying things for the sake of saying it; china is a great country with great friendly people;

@MiracleMile90 please tell me who has no freedom? obviously the chinese media can't tell lairs, no porno sites , no evil cult etc.. these are not allow. I don't get you many decent people in that country? Chinese are decent people and more decent than dumb stupid America.

@powerofthroughts: There is no real freedom in China outside of Hong Kong & perhaps Macau.

There are many decent people in that country, but sadly, their government is anything but...........frankly, a similar situation is beginning to slowly redevelop here in the U.S. as well.

@MiracleMile90 democracy is a creation of the devil.

china will never ever be democratic.

thank god for that

[MiracleMile90]

So let us hope that maybe, just maybe, China CAN democratize, and get rid of the corrupt corporatist power elite. But not only THAT, but also, that those elements here in the U.S. & certain other countries in league with the world crime network can be stopped beforehand if they try to do anything drastic.

.....according to it, up to 50 million people where to be enslaved........and another 50 million were to be genocided. While I don't believe the current rulers of Beijing are quite willing to engage in such just yet, I DO worry what could happen in the future. This is a country which has continued on a path similar to that of Mussolini's Italy, or, even, dare I say, Hitler's Germany, and to see people cheering Beijing just to spite the U.S. AMERICANS in particular, disturbs me greatly.

....to destroy every single enemy in it's way, and enslaving all who oppose the government.

The U.S. gov't has been far from perfect, and has also been once again overrun by horrible amounts of corruption, but what a non-democratic truly superpower Beijing is capable of, I fear, may be far worse than ever what happened under Nixon, Reagan, and Bush II.

I am reminded of a contigency plan that the Nazis may have developed in case they won WWIII..........

@Dimitri0809: No it isn't Dimitri, if anything, it's getting worse. China may still have some momentum yet, but it won't last forever.

In fact, China collapsing may be the best outcome of them all if democratization isn't possible(tbh, my wishes are all to the contrary, but sadly, I think we need to face reality.). Imagine a fascistic pseudo-socialist(think of Hitler's Nazis; they too, used socialism as just a veil, albeit a clever one) superstate actually going out of it's way......
