Excellently put, xx. China is going to become more and more unstable as their economy shrinks. The real estate market is in horrific shape, and no one is really reporting it except the Australians, and many factories are dark - weak orders from the West. What will they do to bolster it? War? hummm. |

Limpan User ID: 1474973 Sweden 09/17/2012 10:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | China’s incoming leader re-emerged this weekend after an unexplained two-week absence, just in time to see the country he’s about to inherit consumed with rabid anti-Japanese nationalism that his Communist Party unleashed, and which the United States warned on Sunday could lead to a regional war. Beijing’s rapidly deteriorating relationship with Tokyo will top the agenda as Xi Jinping takes over as general secretary of the Communist Party from President Hu Jintao, a promotion expected as early as next month. While Mr. Xi will continue to share power with Mr. Hu for months afterward, the stakes could scarcely be higher for his first test. |

I'll be worried when Chinese Gov't officials start to kick out, then nationalize Japanese factories. When that happens, then you can start worrying. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23768974 Why should I worry about that? It involves two other countries on the far side of the wide Pacific Ocean. Ever heard of Pearl Harbour? Japan didn't attack the US for the hell of it, it was to stop you from intervening on the far side of the wide Pacific Ocean. |

BetweenTheFrames User ID: 724728 Canada 09/17/2012 01:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think China has revealed it's true face. Western companies dismantling their own manufacturing sectors to save a buck on cheap child labor are traitors IMO. But it wouldn't take long to re-industrialize our own manufacturing sectors. So I say fuck them and their cheap, crappy goods. |
