| Tribunus Laticlavius | The problem is that China mistrusts the USA almost to the same level that Japan doesn't trust China or Pakistan with India. I'm not sure why we'd be that stupid, but China thinks that we're going to try conquering them or something, so us having a military pressence that close to China would all be part of our diabolical scheme to conquer them or something along those lines. Paranoia and fear do not have to have valid reasons to exist. China is definitely making lots of progress. They just need to keep off the warpath for the next 10 years to grow and develop.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | and when you get down to it the US probaly trust China the same way, Now if China can wait a little while longer before going on thier empire build up they can become powerful. They already have the worlds 2nnd largest economy compared to NK wich is poorer than Luxemborg

| Immunes | People, doesn't anybody think that with the advent of the internet which guarantees the free flow of information worldwide, that millions of Chinese youth who grew up after Tiananmen would be more aware of the world outside? that with the info they have they can compare things at home with things outside China? Could this be a small spark that would lead to the collapse of Commie rule in China? it may be a little but i just can't help but wonder if whether the changes that are transforming the world as we know it could affect the outlook of the chinese youth?Could China be a true working democracy???
