I described the dependency in my first post. So I must agree. Don't confuse what we should do with what the reality of what we know is going to happen. The Chinese market will not be sacrificed by the business elite. Our only hope for them to start to address their human rights issue is from broad international pressure.
Well, what I mean is...  I think more of the business elite will start to value the idea of trade diversity when the Chinese standard of living rises significantly.  What began as cheap labor will eventually become less cost effective than Indian or Indonesian labor.

Even from a completely selfish point of view, we're probably going to see a shift of trade towards India and Indonesia.
Possibly. The reason China has gotten so much attention over these last few years in the shift in their trade policies. After thousands of years of Isolationism they have decided to come out and show themselves.

I think if I were to keep an eye on anyone right now it would be Putin. He has been doing some very erratic things lately.

This is from today. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070329/ap_ … s_russia_7
WASHINGTON - Russia has fully restored its espionage capabilities against the United States after a period of decline following the Cold War, a senior U.S. counterintelligence official said Thursday.
Hmmm...  I agree...  I will definitely keep an eye on this as it develops...  Russia certainly has a lot of problems, and Putin is as scummy as they come.

China doesn't have as good logistics as US. So no invasion

I'd actually suggest we trade less with China and more with India and Indonesia.

in 20 years India will be begging the rest of the world for water and food as they combat famine and disease.

Iran Strikes Israel With New Holocaust.   
   Iran delivered on it's long term goal and dealt a murderous blow to the State of Israel.  Tens of thousands of innocents were annilated in a flash of 'holy' fire. The  small warhead leveled large swaths of Tel Aviv, but does not pose a major threat to the region..
Not going to happen as long as the US is a credible military and nuclear power. Iran is silly not stupid.

Thousands of Pakistani troops pour across Kashmir.   

Within hours New Delhi was a graveyard for millions and Islamabad became a slag heap burning white hot in a nuclear inferno.
Why would they bring on a nuclear Holocaust? The reason both countries have nukes is for Mutually assured destruction, so why would one nation commit suicide en-mass?

China invades the United States   

Tens of thousands of tanks, jeeps and armored fighting vehicles poured forth from our ports and terminals following a series of EMP weapons discharges. Power, communications are gone. The Red Army had quietly imported 2 million combat troops to U.S. in shipping containers paid for by Walmart. Executives from the company who caught in a motorcade and torn limb from limb.

Chinese troops quickly set up mobil gas houses to dispatch of political unfriendlies and establishment relics..
China has no interest in spreading its territory to another Continent.........its logistically impossible anyway.

Mass beheadings in London as Sharia law takes effect. 

With Her long time military supporter America now official disbanded as a nation and under joint control of the Socialist Forces of Venezuela and the Chinese army, citizens of England lined up for Islamic Court identification cards.
Those caught without cards or beards are executed the next day..
LOL, still harping on about the UK's 'Muslim' problem. We have a small group of extremists which the security forces have under control. This group of extremists is not even a fraction of the problems the UK had with the IRA which lasted 25 years. English people have not been forced to be catholics against their will and mass forced baptisms never took place!! So your time line of the UK being under Sharia law in 15 odd years is just pure sensationalism.

Looks like I might agree more with your next post. Seams it will take a nuclear war, a US invasion and the over throw of the UK government to get Bush impeached...............

Type up the screenplay ATG, I'll direct it...

Very entertaining, it sounds like the new concept album by Nine Inch Nails but in an opposite political direction. JahManRed and Kmarion have already articulted the reasons why such a chain of events wouldn't take place so I won't regurgitate what they've already said but on the issue of China hypothetically invading the United States it reminds me of a stand up routine by Al Murray ...do you guys even have enough bullets to take out the entire Red Army? They probably make the bullets, that would be an interesting phonecall:

"US Dept. of Defence: Hello China, we'd like to place an order for 4 million bullets please.

China: What do you want them for?

US Dept. of Defence: None of your business" ...click.

By the way...

I hope you realize that China has never been especially close to Pakistan or Iran.
Pakistan and China have been very friendly allies since 1951 and China is one of Pakistan's principal missile suppliers. The US has expressed concern over this in the past.

From me in the UK, I doubt very much that any English person would allow any kind of Religious rule here, been there done that and got the T-Shirts, maybe we have a problem in the UK with religion but thats what makes the UK what it is, acceptance and diversity! You have more of a chance if you know your enemy, let them come closer and learn, yes mistake will be made but that is how people learn, from mistake and not doing the same thing again! So I doubt that any country would really try or want to take over England anymore as it fucked up enough already :p
And I think that the majority of English, Welsh and Scottish, least not forgetting Irish People would have no problem with fighting a guerilla war should this Great Land ever be taken over. But I do speak for myself and for the people that agree with me, as of ages ago and the wars of old, English archers where told that once a battle was over to then go forth and kill wounded soldiers in the field, so we are as bad as the rest of world when it comes to wars, we just don't tell the world that we are doing this type of shit!!!!!!!!

Hmm, .growing a beard in 1 night ? I like a challenge, the women and are screwed !

I like the way china invades the US, obviously unlikely, but a pure genius way of getting the all troops and armour there. they could be entrenched in lots of major cities before the US knew what hit them.

It would all go very nuclear. Very quickly. You were on the right track with Pakistan and India, but how a Chinese invasion of the U.S wouldn't go nuclear in miliseconds is a mystery. Everybody would lose. Nobody wants to, we're never gonna get another war like WW2 and even if something like that was tried it would go nuclear and everyone would lose.

Uh-huh.  Grovelling, that's what happened.  Which is why, with no communication with me, the ban was revoked because most or all mods (including the one who had given it) decided it wasn't appropriate.

Which was after the rescinding, closely followed by a temp-ban, and was not to the mods.

Regardless, I'm not going to be drawn into this.  Think what you want, I'm done.
