You could say the same thing about the U.S. home building market which is subsidized by our government at the expense of savers. At some point the music stops and we dont need any more houses. And then when the job market really slows down or goes away we cant pay the bills on the houses....

So China is growing at too fast a rate anyway. They dont have the infrastructure to support growth at its current pace. I expect China, Russia, Middle East and Europe to work more closely together to improve trade between them, exclusive of the U.S.

If you are going to print money then not why use it for a good cause, like put the people to work on water infrastructure, power grid, schools, transportation. Build a solid foundation for growth. The U.S. chooses to throw it at the stock market and war which I can not understand for the life of me.
