Amazing, the one country that goes against all we believe is the one we depend on the most for our cheap crap made by prison labor. How many wars did we fight attempting to stop communism? now we're the secret to it's success

bin laden is a terrorist not a communist so it doesnt really apply to the topic at hand.

Yeah funny how that works. From what "analysts" say their economy is doing well because of the billions of investment dollars being shifted from the diving US economy to inflating chinese economy.



China is the fastest growing economy right now and we're making a lot of them VERY VERY rich. They are at an all time high for percentages of millionaires in the country. Also the chinese government is giving kick backs to millionaires now so they can be more public with their money without fear of the goverment taking it. Why would they do this you might ask? As a gross display of money. To show the world how much money they are making. Dun dun duuuuuuuun....



Maybe I'll start trading the chinese markets :-p
