Hmm...in my singaporean house,70% of things come from China,25% come from Japan,Only thing that comes from the US is my Dell computer.
Face it you Americans on this forum,all superpowers will lose their powers at one point, the Germans lost it even with a whole continent's recources,the Russians lost it,and now its time that the Chinese took over the Americans as the world superpower.

From what I have read they drove right over them; you can't drive tanks "around" a bunch of students in a crowd.
And it doesn't matter; the protest wouldn't have caused Chian to change to democracy right away; also, they did not have to kill those people like that. They could have sent in an army to arrest them or drive them away, but not kill them like that.
I agree China should not change to democracy very fast, but they should not have handled the T. Square incident the way they did.
In South Korea, a big riot started I remember, and the police came in with riot gear and fired gas (I forget what kind, but just one that subdues the crowd), and this riot had thousands in it too, but because the police responded a "NO RIOTS ALLOWED" type of attitude, no one was harmed.

1) The Chinese economy is probably one of the most capitalistic in the world. In face, in China, you can buy pretty much everything given the right amount of money. If you have a few million dollars to throw around, you can buy yourself a nice little Lt. Governor title. Corruption is very serious in China. However, since this problem is a problem THROUGHOUT the Chinese history, it is much hated by the Chinese people but it is NOT a problem they simply cannot accept. Many are pretty resigned to this fact.

Not really, Germany lost it cuz they tried to take over the world. Same with Britain.
But China has an oppressive gov't, so they will never be allowed to dominate. America will not "face" anything like that.
And China has a while to go military-wise before they catch the United States.

Does communism allow more corruption which is so high level that it cannot be detected even?
Or is democracy the more corrupt...Maybe calling india the 'more' corrupt of the two (China and india) was not entirely accurate...
