China in the 21st Century

The games superpowers play.
Two Chinese J-10 fighter jets flew within 200 yards of US Navy P-3 surveillance plane southeast of Hong Kong Wednesday in what a US defense official called 'unsafe' actions, Fox News confirms.
What u gonna do Trump?
Absolutely nothing.
 
With all our domestic crap the trump administration better keep an eye on China?
 
While this absolutely historical horrible President and administration is picking race fights with the NFL and NBA promoting nonsense to their uninformed GOP base whom are crying about a flag. He is what China is up to.
 
I'm highly incredulous of the idea that China wants absolute power and wants to take over the world. I just see no evidence for that. They're a regional hegemon that's resource hungry but historically they've never been a conquering nation. Would the Chinese people even support a war on the rest of the world?

It doesn't matter what the people of China think just like in the USA these military governments will do what it wants to and if they see weakness in this current president they will act.
This is Governed by the Communist Party of China.
Especially of they can allied with Russia and maybe Iran depending on what next mistake our current president makes. China might see in opening and take it. BTW don't we old them money?

I understand what you're saying, there's just no prior precedent to suspect China of aggressively coming for us. Their strength is that they do capitalism better than we do and they're using soft economic power to flex their muscles. The notion that it will someday turn to military invasions I find hard to believe.

I disagree that the Chinese people don't matter. They have more of a history of revolution than we do. Despite all appearances, the Communists remain in power because they are maintaining a delicate status quo of prosperity and growth. If they ever stop providing they will be beheaded. It's not like the U.S. where there is an unwavering faith in democracy. In China they let the king rule, even oppressively, until he seriously screws up and then all hell breaks loose.
 
China's government wants total power. BUT doesn't have what it takes to rule this world. So just hold our debt. AND know your role.
China says opposes any unilateral sanctions against North Korea

Of course you do. Just as we would never accept any sanctions on Isreal. SO what you going do?China if we still go ahead and bring even more sanctions on this strange ass nation? Absolutely nothing.


They will simply continue on with their long term plan while the USA has been blowing its money on fighting in Libya and Syria and the Ukraine.

In this report I cover the recent news about the yuan backed oil futures contract set to start trading at the Shanghai International Energy Exchange by the end of 2017. I also explain how participants in this exchange will be able to easily convert their yuan holdings into physical gold.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy ask, “RIP, Petrodollar?” China readies a yuan-priced oil benchmark backed by gold. Is this the final nail in the dollar’s coffin? In the second half, Max interviews Michael Pento of PentoPort.com to discuss the oil-gold-yuan futures contract, North Korea, hurricanes and coming market meltdowns.



Part of why the US could keep skyrocketing its national debt under Democrats or Republicans was because there is/was a global demand for dollars to purchase the energy source of oil, which is only traded in US dollars (until approaching now), and so the Fed could just keep printing more paper money with not enough gold to back it.

Sanctions on Iran, Russia, or whoever the hell else will have increasingly limited impact as they can now go through China.

Russia by the way has pegged its currency to gold and the commodities it produces, whereas the US dollar is still pegged only to a promises (bolstered by the fact up until now all nations needed US dollars like crack addicts need crack). Promises are mystical, mysteries, faith based like prayer for rain. So, what this means is that Russia is attempting to draw attraction to its currency, or trade with Russia, by guaranteeing that another country can ask to be paid in gold or any Russian commodity (grain etc.) rather than rubles.

I see you're from the City of LA. Question: the City of LA has one of the largest economies on earth, that city has an economy the size of entire rich European countries. Furthermore, LA has a vastly larger economy than the City of Milwaukee. So, then why does LA look like Brazil in wealth inequality, and therefore vast tracks of LA look like 3rd World slum in Mexico?

Yet, Shanghai and Milwaukee look far more put together. Certainly Milwaukee's infrastructure with the Milwaukee River is far superior to the LA River and vast tracks of LA.

Therefore, before the US and LA can't afford it any longer, would not the wise man, the wise leader spend the opportunity now pouring money into developing their City of LA rather than worry about what China is doing (for China and the Chinese)?



(Don't worry, you won't upset me if you keep LA a trashcan no more than some filthy people in Milwaukee that like living in garbage and roaches in their home will upset me if they live that way--because hurting yourself or your children or your "people" does not hurt me.)

Personally, I would love for China to invest money into the City of Milwaukee.

If U.S. Cities Were Countries, How Would They Rank?

Richard Florida Jul 21, 2011

San Francisco's metropolitan area contains an economy the size of Thailand. Chicago's GDP rivals Switzerland. If the largest U.S. cities were countries, where would they rank?

While riding around Downtown LA, I stumbled upon Skid Row.




That's what I'm talking about. Versus... the Chinese and City of Shanghai using *their money* to fix up their city (and country) rather than using it to finance wars.


 
Shanghai vs LA again.




Rio de Janeiro in Brazil has a lot of rich people like LA too. But [metro] LA for sure has an economy about the size of the whole, entire, country of the Netherlands. So, we can deduce that the City of Amsterdam in the Nertherlands has an economy smaller than the country its in (the Netherlands) and therefore an economy smaller than that of metro LA.

So, we can deduce in both the cases of LA and Rio de Janeiro that there is significant (not a little) inequality in wealth distribution. The rich in metro LA are likely astronomically more wealthy than what the poor and middle-class in the City of LA possibly think.

So, lets glimpse the City of Amsterdam and like Shanghai compare it to the City of LA.
