Well, since the question was posted in the investment category, I assume you mean as an investment opportunity.\nChina is growing a lot faster than the US, BUT its growth is very much dependent on the US. That is why they do not dump all the US paper they own, because they do not want the value of the dollar to collapse. \n\nSeveral Chinese companies are relatively good values, compared to Indian companies for example and compared to US companies. \n\nYou can invest in many Chinese companies directly by purchasing their stocks on the NYSE and also through buying both open ended and closed end mutual funds.

I think our relationship with China is on even keel....but bordering on adversarial unfortunately.\n\nTheir military build up is on going and for what?  Who are they getting ready to fight?  Probably no one....but we are in debt to the Chinese in the billions of dollars.  Eventually we will have to concede that they are on our tier of dominance.\n\nI agree with a previous poster's analysis in that they will be the superpower on one....it may not be real soon, but it will be one day.\n\nThis is the thing.  Small thing.  All they have do is....drumroll please.........convert to some form of democracy.  That's all.  Nothing major.  They can do that in a few weeks.  \n\nSeriously.....Communism does not work.  And look at what America is trying to do.  Bush was over there wanting China is ease up on religious tolerance....along with a few other things.  But see....we don't really want them to have a democratic system....we want them to have widespread, capitalistic tendency.....democracy-styled freedoms.  There is a massive difference.\n\nWe don't want a mega copy of us.....we are Miller, or Budweiser.  We want them to be Zima.

Yes, extremely friendly and courteous. During my stay in both Hong Kong and Mainland China (Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Xiamen) I found people to be very helpful, respectful, and very, very friendly.\n\nHowever, they are also very private people, and it takes them a long time to warm up to "guai-los / guai-pos". But once they feel a foreigner will honor & respect their culture and is sincere in his/her attempt to live according to Chinese believes & traditions while in their country, they become very outgoing and make wonderful, honest, sincere friends (who even taught a guai-po how to savely cross a main street in Shanghai and patiently answered all questions with a wonderful sense of humor).\n \nUnfortunately, way too many American guai-los and guai-pos are ignorant of the cultures and traditions of Asian countries (as well as being ignorant of cultures/traditions of any country outside the US, for that matter) and fail to see how their rude and obnoxious behavior can insult people of other cultures.\n \nNeither Chinese Government nor the Chinese themselves would ever deliberately insult a foreigner or would go out of their way to harm others (unlike the US). \n \nSimple comparison:\nwhich Nation started the majority of wars ?          US not China\nwhich Nation has the highest crime rate ?            US not China   \nwhich Nation has the lowest level of education ?  US not China\n \nYes, China is indeed a friendly country, who has her crime rate under control, has a high level of education, who is not known to invade other countries under false pretenses..... and of course the Government reserves their right to run their own country the way they feel best (the Chinese Govmt does not run the country into ruin, it improves the country's economy, it does not invade other countries for oil....)

Chief Allies: American Consumers, Iran\nArchenemies: Japan/India\n$50 billion per year of foreign investment, a labor force that survives on $70 a month, has enjoyed a 9% GDP growth for 25 years....all under state controlled pseudo-capitalism, has a spiking fuel addiction, and just inked a $70 billion three-decade natural gas deal with Iran\n\nEconomy: China has an economy so robust that to keep the value of its “Yuan” in check, the People’s Bank of China has been propping up our currency by accumulating American dollars, bonds, and treasuries—about $533 billion at last count.  By keeping the currency undervalued, the Chinese are telling the world, “We can provide you with low-cost goods,” Communism may be nearly dead in all but the name in China, but it survives in the form of one last taboo: the fact that the right of an individual to won agricultural land is tenuous (weak) at best.\n\nProblem: China needs to address the fact that its farmers have missed out on the double-digit growh that has transformed urban China and turned its richest cities into some of the most dynamic in Asia.\n\nProblem: If China decided to drop/dump its dollar reserve on the world currency market, interest rates here could skyrocket, severely damaging our stock and housing markets.  However, that probably won’t happen because China needs American prosperity to continue its growth, and Americans with extra dollars love Chinese imports.  It keeps the Chinese economic juggernaut rolling.

DR: Your side said that when Nixon was in power too!\n\nIt is a great day, I finally feel after 6 long years I got a piece of my country back. Tired of seeing the constitution ripped to shreds by a bunch of pasty-white closeted bigots. \n\nViva Le Resistance!

As a Vietnam Veteran, I understand how you feel. I doubt that you will get over it, but you have to learn how to deal with it. My thanks to my Canadian brothers.

who cares about the mexicans, the chinese are holding more U.S. currency than any other country in the history of the world, i'd be more worried about them deciding we're not chinese enough (since they pretty much own the U.S.)

China is pretty smart... I think we can all agree they have an artifically devalued currecy, which gives them a nice advantage in the world market, but hey it's not like the U.S. doesn't have some nice advatages too. I worry a lot about human rights issues there and I wish they could maybe set a little better example for Southeast Asia. But as for it's role in the international community, it's a billion people, huge workforce for potentially cheap labor and huge market for imported goods. The needs are pushing up the prices for goods internationally though, like oil, but hey that's consumerism.

Well I will be doing the most American thing I can think of, supporting the Chinese economy and buying $100 dollars of Chinese made fireworks.\n\n\nYou don't have anything to worry about, they will never take our guns away from us.
