If the damn Communist government would just get out of the way the Chinese people will prove just how capitalistic they can be and show us lazy assed Americans a thing or two about opportunity and economic progress.

The potential of this country will amaze you!

I'm Chinese American. I was born here and here is my perspective.

China will become an economic powerhouse in the future and be a close ally of the United States -- we will be friends because the Chinese are basically capitolists at heart (my mom loves to gamble). Because of this and Chow Young Fat and Yao Ming, Chinese men will become more desirable to women. Women around the world will constantly hit on us and make passes at us.

That's all I have to say on the subject.

With goverment reform they truely could be an economic powerhouse, but until that happens dont expect much.

There have been quite a few articles claiming that China has been cooking their books to show growth when actually their economy is stagnant.

9's and 10's go for 3 things... money, power, fame. in general. of course, a 3 doesn't care about money much... she couldn't attract it anyways.

I think China has a great outlook on it's economy. The government has in fact realized that things are a little stagnant, and has really put forth the effort to encourage development. As a result, a LOT of companies are beginning to bring parts of their company to China. Even the biotech industry is growing like crazy over there. Just check out the Shanghai/Suzhou area and compare that with what it looked like 10 years ago.

They will be a powerhouse probably within the next couple of decades.

Their current rate of growth keeps up, (~7%) they will will have the world's largest GDP in just over a decade. And keeping up this growth for 10 years and beyond is quite doable, since other asian economic "tigers" (japan, korea, taiwan) managed to keep up this rate of growth for decades.

China definately has the potential to displace the US as the world's biggest superpower both economically and militarily. Its up to the chinese government and people to realize that potential.

Only problem there is real evidence that china economy has been stagnant, not growing.

Give it time. Things need time to change. This is a start.

I hope they get their population down before they turn into Americans. Otherwise, global warming++.

Here is some else's opinion on your "real evidence" where they say that real evidence indicated that the GDP is in fact growinghttp://www.brook.edu/views/op-ed/lardy/20020614.htm

And no, government reform isn't as badly needed as you think. Korea and Taiwan were able to keep up this kind of economic growth for 4 decades before their authoritarian governmetns fell. Plus, the chinese aren't actually communists, they are capitalists with an authoritarian government.

Um. We did monopolize the laundromat business. Every single Chinese person I know over the age of 40, has, at one point or another, worked at a laundry. Koreans just took over.

I have this feeling we will open restaurants all over the world and dominate the take-out business.

Well, the majority of economic growth in China isn't homegrown... it's from investment by the other east & southeast asian "dragons", the US, etc. There's money to be made there. I do see the potential for stagnation as China doesn't seem to have the capability of developing it's own domestic industry. It's more like everyone's "bitch"... hmm... I guess "whore" would be a better word.

Plus, they're insanely gross polluters that prolly at some point the international community might want to curtail. That is if they truly value the global environment... I see more giant stinking clouds coming out of China again. I don't doubt that they'll be the biggest... just by virtue of population and sheer crappiness of their current economy, it's gotta go up.
