China - Coal to Cash to Real Estate youtube.com City of Ordos - relevant part starts at 1:30 FWIW, I believe these coal millionaires would be much wiser to put their cash in gold rather than real estate... Having your savings in Chinese real estate, rather than cash in a Chinese bank is okay, hoarding copper at your pig farm better, but gold is best... Recommendation, set up gold and silver coin shop in the old Ordos and give these folks more value for their coal cash...

I believe the Romans pulled back from Britain when the economics went bad. The US did pull back from the Phillipines after WWII. Just because empires have not voluntarily reduced size, does not mean the US cannot do it. Any country that can elect both George Bush and Barack Obama is capable of anything. Don't expect any reduction in the Pacific, of course. I don't know enough about cb ilaine to comment, and it seems something of an ad hominen argument anyway.
