Whilst I don't quite see a USA 'surrender' as such on the cards, this is clearly an interesting and important area to watch.

I recommend you watch, if you haven't already, the recent edition of Newsnight that the BBC Broadcast on Tuesday 17 November 2009 in which they presented some fascinating fresh analysis of the shifts and trends we are all trying to understand at the moment.

If you go to their Newsnight website (link) you can find/view some clips i.e.
"China's grip on the rare earth rush" link
"Is China's rare earth control a threat?" link
and "Does the 21st century belong to asia?" link

Some really interesting info on (USA) dependence on 'rare earth' deposits situated in China, which I certainly wasn't familiar with.

Also, have we finally learnt why GM ditched that recent battery electric car project that looked so promising (prior to their focus on Hydrogen related tech)?

As a country, if you spend (buy/borrow from others) more than you make (sell/pay off to others) you end up in debt, right?

Thanks Slayer, interesting graphics, they seem to defend US's position to date, but I'm not so sure of the future direction, post economic crisis, given the starting positions of the two economies.

What about comparing China's surplus and total foreign-exchange reserves vs US debt in $ terms over say the past 25 years? Also a look at the sustained rate of growth of China's economy, GDP and surplus. Then look at how China has invested heavily to sustain a massive growth in (sewn up) it's access/control and share of natural resources around the world on an enourmous scale (presumably with associated issues of changes in the balances of political allegiancies/order/influence...), and it's domination of internal reserves of rare-earth resources of growing significance to emerging technologies (to military and energy industries).

"How China's taking over Africa, and why the West should be VERY worried " link to article They've been busy in S.America, Australia, and others buying mining rights etc....too.
