China is building up, not to attack the US, but to replace the US as the world police, The US economy is going down faster than a 5 dollar hooker and will need someone to take the place to keep law and order in all countries around the world, we had a democratic world police, next one will be communist.
And you actually think that is going to be good?...

I read and read and re read my post and I still can't see how you could possibly think it was a good idea.
It is a possability, not a good option at all, I personally like having rights.

Yeah it was sarcasm.
Let me ask you a question then?
Why aren't you living, working or staying there for school?
All sarcasm aside now.
I'm just curious because at the moment by your description you should be there getting a better education at a far less cost.

It seems people like you who have probably never even left the country are the ones believing in some myth of America. I've lived here for a few years, lived in China, Turkey, England and was born in NZ and raised in Australia. I feel I'm qualified to comment and my opinions are far superior to some insular person who has never left the country and if so, for a short holiday.
So yes my views on China are far more valid than yours, in fact my views on America are probably are too. I haven't grown up in your bias TV culture.

i dont think comparing america to chine is a fair comparison,china is the right brain, and america the left.Ask your self where does all the tech Ideas come from?Which nation has the most creativity?who invented the car?Who invented the computer?Who invented the T.V ? who invented the train?who invented the airplane?
Most if all millitary tech is gained from espionage,or downed equip from america.If you belive for one minute that we dont have stuff out of this world you may look at our history and think again.
America is the creative center from wich all tech in the 20th centery was born.I love my country and i know we make the tech, and asians improve on.
I myself would love to see the whole world as 1 goverment,but that one goverment i would want to be a republic,not a dictatorship.In the end america is balls to the wall, you kill us we kill the world,So economic war is the only war that even slightly effective aginst us.

I was asking a serious question because I remember when I went to University in the 80s It cost my parents an arm and a leg and now My Daughter is going and its costing me a bundle.
My son will be able to get his paid for by the Military after he gets back from Greece. He has already spent a year in Iraq so now that's done.
So my question was a sincere one I would if I could get a better education at a much less cost.
P.S. I don't watch much TV and rarely rent movies.
I like books and chatting with educated people like yourself.

Ok ill give china gunpowder, although it was in use in the middle east at the same time,and i cant say it came from america cuse america didnt exist,i also said the 21 centery
As far as i know the wright brothers made the first manned flight in a plane they invented,also a farmer invented T.V.,need i even say tesla,he wasnt from america but was a american.
Where did the internet and computers as we know them come from,who did we steal it from?
I uderstand steam engines principale where around since eqypt,but who made the train?
If i recall didnt henry ford make the first car?I will give some tech ideas to the germans,wich we got during ww2.
who actuly perfected the cannon,since i dont see a lot of asian cannons in the history.
Also the scientist that whernt from america but came to america,why didnt they go to asia instead?
what tech do we buy from china or even want,all i see is lead filled toys and shoes.Any tech japan and china have in the 21 centery was birthed in america.
If there millitary and weaponry are so advanced why do they need to build up there millitary?
And u may feel sorry for me "kid" but the name for killing the world is called MAD, mutualy asured destruction,its not a guess, or a opinon , its a fact.
