Hello Don, <<One thing I have noticed it seems all Chinese posters on S.I. ...>> Oh, come on, let us not be so sensitive and wishful, wrongly perceiving my post as defensive, apologetic, revisionist or anything other than pointing out the impossibility of what you described based on what I am looking at each and everyday. Let me clearly state that I do not dispute the possibility that China can collapse. China can collapse, but just not in the way you described. <<What inflation?>> There is no inflation in China of goods or services at this time, other than personal income, driven on by productivity gains, which is not precisely inflation. Given the amount of capacity, there cannot be inflation for a good long time, other than that of raw materials, driven by demand due to economic growth. <<corruption>> ... Simply a cost of progress, did not implode USA in 1920, and will not likely implode China in 2003. <<... great economic divide>> ... I do not need to repeat what I already posted on this topic. <<Which could set them back 10 years>> ... ditto. Chugs, Jay

Giggle. <One thing I have noticed it seems all Chinese posters on S.I. and on other sites as well, no matter where they live or come from seem very defensive if anything is stated with a negative light toward China. It could be news articles opinions it doesn't seem to matter??> Don, I know what you mean. But you should see the spittle, foul abuse, defensiveness, aggression and rabid, foaming at the mouth madness of the average Yank when one points out that not only does the USA have B.O, but the average IQ is akin to baboons, the culture akin to that of baboons [though baboons usually seem more benign than the average rap-muck passing for culture], the obesity one of the 7 wonders of the world, the SUV motorway MADness a mechanistic nightmare, the Weapons of Mass Destruction a terror for the rest of us, [they have multimegaton H bombs you know], the Homeland Security worrisome, the Prozac consumption something to behold. One should note that USSR citizens were not so defensive about their great empire under Stalin, Krushchev, Brezhnev and Yeltsin, [nor even Gorby who the rest of us thought pretty cool]. They were more inclined to comments, when explaining how the economy worked, [or didn't], such as, "Well, we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us". Which, you could imagine, didn't enhance the 5 year plan output all that much [though they entered the figures anyway and paraded papier mache ICBMs through Red Square]. The fact that the Chinese are defensive means that they think China is actually a good place and getting better. That's a very significant attitude. Americans should be careful that they don't believe their own propaganda too much. Mqurice
