China extends its commercial reach into Afghanistan

China has spent 3.5 billion dollars to purchase a huge copper mine in Afghanistan-- the largest foreign investment project in that country. Roben Farzad, a senior writer for BusinessWeek, joins Martin Savidge to discuss China's increasingly assertive role on the world stage and the state of the global economy as the year 2009 draws to a close. http://worldfocus.org/blog/2009/12/30/china-extends-its-commercial-reach-into...

@Striker4928 The US is still the world's biggest polluter and it is the world's biggest polluter per capita by a huge margin to any other country on earth. I haven't seen China going around invading places in the last 100 years.

I was thinking the same, but the problem is that those factories which produce cheap good are not chinese but USA investation in china which was designed to crush the communist regime which backfired.

@spiritbreakerz bullshit. china is a threat to the world..US will just stop paying interest on the loans and china will stop spreading its crap products.. if the banks and speculators fail, so what? Let China die. China is a predator capitalist calling itself communist and is destroying the world- pollution clouds are reaching all countries, and its destroying entire forests from greed. But China doesn't give a crap, it builds two dirty coal plants a week for its greedy mafia government leaders.

Nothing is cheap once it is on the retail shelf. Make a Tv in America for 400 and sell it for 500 on the shelf. The worker makes a living.

Make the same Tv in China for 100 and sell it for 500 on the shelf. Only the Mall owner that charges 10,000 a month for rent gets to make a living. Its all bullshit in America my friend. Put the American Worker back to work and China will fail.
