FYI- I posted this exact reply in another China related thread that i think is relevant here as well - -
The other thread is
here for your reference.
All i want to say is thank you for posting this!
I have had this on my mind for along time now but have been reluctant to post a thread on this or bring it up in conversation because it is has been
mostly specualtion on my part.
At the same looking at the world economic structure the past 10-20 years i can see see what China is doing.
Look at China's econmic growth compared to most western countries. The US now is the major debtor to China, and while they continue to grow under a
communist regime with the majority of the worlds manufacturing being outsouced to China we continue to decline economically and have increasing job
losses every year nationaly.
China's Army and military strength is growing every year, and don't forget that it is still mandatory for all citizens to complete military training
once turning 18 (more so for males but also includes some females) so basically 60-80% of chinese are military trained!
The power of the world is growing year by year, not only econmically but also militarily.
Although the Chinese and Japanese are worlds apart in many ways - don't forget how senaky they can be.... WW2 and Pearl Habour and what happened after
that... but then China has Nuclear weapons as well
Then think about online attacks and propaganda, so called hackers and online arguements etc.
How do we know that we arent being turned against our own government by mis/dis - information and propaganda being spread by chinese hackers that
could be run by their government.
I hate the word 'communist' and sometimes think it belongs in the cold war era but in China it is still a reality and many corporations and companies
are still overseen by the ruling government.
