The China communist government just approved their new 12'th Five-Year Plan (below).
From what I have read, their government intends to give RMB 14 trillion ($2.1 trillion, at the offical, bogus exchange rate) to public and private sector industries to facilitate this plan.
Meanwhile, our government burns this amount every year doing no-one knows what with it and accumulating to the debt.
I worry the Chinese will succeed at there plan again and pull further ahead of us in critical technology and manufacturing areas (their last 5 yr plan largely met their goals).
Sorry for the long post below, I thought its breadth was interesting. I like their innovation goals

Thoughts?
