We can compare China with America raise to wealth, it didn't took America long to achieve the status of superpower in the world after the great depression but China is moving faster.
Nobody tells the Chinese government how to run their nation, in America we have plenty of foreign lobbyist running our government along with all the private interest within our soil.
No wonder the government doesn't have time for the nations best interest and those of the people.

When the Chinese came here a few months back one of the parts of the agreement was that the US would share more high-tech and the Chinese would not foreclose on us.

I believe that Obama's overtures to the Chinese are a way to get them on the bandwagon for sanctions, and that's that.

Remember Japan was defeated by the US before it was allowed to raise to economic greatness.
The greed of corporations looking for cheap labor and our government insatiable spending is the one that is making Chinas economical greatness, no wars.
Like any empire China will fall

Slayer, I don't think the Chinese can easily foreclose on us because that would make their huge pile of dollars worthless, while possibly driving up the rate of the Euro and hence hurting their exports even further.
