The Chinese threat. Real or imagined?

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

No China has not invaded anyone recently have they?

It is more than real.....
It is already here.....

and I do not mean only as a military threat.
More than that.
Currently China has flooded the world with cheap products senting local factories to oblivion. In turn this creates unemployment and thus destabilises society.....

Kingstonian:

This concept you state does not follow economics. Once China catches up with western countries on product sales, their salaries will go up. After that the trading will be closer to 1 to 1.

China is still a 3rd world country. Their economic growth is unsustainable because it is distorting world trading patterns to the point that protectionist measures will be done by everyone.

China's main threat is from within. A restless rural population that wants a share in the goods.

Cuba's downfall will be when Castro aligns himself to closely with Iran. The moment he gets to cocky with them, we will take him out "for going to far"

I dont think Castro will get in bed with Iran. I really doubt he is stupid eneogh to do that.

[marconi]

I think he has no reason to do so.
