  • If american youth continue to do what we doing right now, the country going to decline more. Gangster rap, fancy car, reality show, sex and exploiting women is all American kids are into right now instead of books, math, science. Call the Chinese geek, nerd or four eye but they going to be the run that run this world in the near future. Knowledge equal wealth and power period.

  • America please wake up. Just one day walking around a major Chinese city you will understand our problem. China is studying harder, sacrificing more, working longer hours for less salary and wasting less in the process. They are catching us because they are hungry to live the comfortable life that we have always taken for granted and they have been denied for so long.

  • The only way to save USA is to get a Chinese president. hahahah....

  • @HonorahWalshe

    To me, your words sound really wise!

    The people of the USA should start preparing psychologically to live in "just another decent country". There's nothing bad or scary in it - the British Empire's power is long gone now, but this hardly makes the Brits miserable :-)

  • @JC90280

    Deng Xiaoping, actually ;-)

  • Yea, start more wars, and killing more people will make America even better

  • This past April in 2011, IMF says that China will overtake the USA in nominal GDP... 50 years? More like 5 years...

  • The American elite are worthless and have no pride.

    They're so worthless and pathetic that they allowed emergence of much more powerful elites in countries like China and India, who will very soon outdo them and will walk over them and their children like they're nothing.

    American rich - you may feel like you're somebody compared to the poor of this country whom you've impoverished. But on the international scene you're fucking losers.

  • I don't care if China becomes stronger/wealthier than us. I'll be glad when the focus is off of us finally and is on them instead. As long as my children can have a decent quality of life I don't care.

  • @aznpride0

    Come to think of it, the current leaders in USA especially in the Banking and legal sector are mostly sons and daugthers of the mafias of the 1960s.

    Your media,politics,businesses,lega­l system have been hijacked. They vstick to oil while the rest of the world are moving forward with futuristic projects. The wars will reduce with America`s decline, THANK GOD.

  • @Xwaxtaxper face it, america is run by a handful of wealthy people who have all the politicians in their pockets and don't care for the common american, let alone foreigners. This phony back and forward juggling act from republican to democrat isn't going to fool the public for much longer. I mean, what good is a democracy when people like George bush can be voted in for a second term.
