  • Thank you Dr. E O'Connor, For years I have reading and listening only negative critics of China, eventhough that :

    1-In less than 30 years China lift up more than 200 millions of their people from poverty, after being the poorer country of the world during the last 2 centuries due to foreign invasion, bad and corrupted gobernment, and natural disasters

    2- Thank to China economic devopment many countries in LatinoAmerica, and Africa, could now overcome their own economic problems

  • @acupunctur4163568666 lol? does china seem like a peaceful country where people are all happy? no soul.. robots... stone cold hearts... they look down on africans, and they're envious of the western world...

    Communisme... the massacering of millions of people and children, abortion till 42 weeks... china is fxcked uP.

  • China is a peaceful country. If China becomes the new leader in world, People all over world can live and work peacefully,without any war woes.

  • thanks for the vid

  • Wester countries should not use double-standards to view China and themselves

  • im scared. its sad that america wont be the most powerful any more i guess we should give up that power and behind the worlds back regain that power but never yield on the power of the military

  • Thank you.

  • @wwwtips. Your right. I agreed I see china trade with other country fairly instead of invading

  • 3- Even in America and average family was saving more than $500 a year by buying reasonable good products from China and think about those people working 6 days a week 10 hours a day making around 0.50/0.80 cts an hour could allow the Chinese government lend almost a trillions of dollar to the American gobernment and can America keep their interest rate low.

  • As confusius said, "A favor should always be returned". I must say that I admire what the west has done in developing their countries and projecting their power all over the world in the past 200 years! Even over taking many anicent countries like China, India & more! The west sense of innovation and detail is un-matched anywhere in the world today even in China.
