China's Non-Tariff Barriers to U.S. Computer Games

US is spending itself into this position. The author didn't account for this and only looking at trade in one narrow focal point. To use the dollar reserve to threaten countries with a positive surplus in trade with USA would mean the faster demise of the Dollar since one of the many retailations from countries that hold our dollar reserves will include dumping the dollar for a new global currency.

Debunking the China Growth Myth

This article asked where the money went? How about upgrading their infrastructures from East to West? How about promoting incentives so their own people can easily afford more amenities? How about heavily investing in Renewable Energy so that it is dubbed as leading the pack, even ahead of US's current push towards it? Sure there are problems here and there, but they are not blind to these factors and are adjusting to changes so far.

Using stock to gauge China's progress? Which REAL economists use that as the main economical indicator? At most it represent investor confidence through speculation, not hard economical data. Do you think China is dumb enough to repeat how the US stock market and our economy bubble burst during the last year or so?

Debunking the China Growth Myth

By all accounts, the internal demand within China is kicking up to support their numbers. No where I see this information in this article. The China Bust theory had been going around for decades but haven't seen them collapse so far.

So let us wait and see how they are doing in the next half year. Perhaps another bunch of people will eat their words of a "China Bust".

Rio Tinto's Chinese Mistake

Rio was using corrupt practices to gain price info and pressure Chinese steel mills over price between March and June, according to Stratfor investigations above.

So should a democracy allow corrupt practices to happen in a corrupt foreign environment? Should a democracy not self-examine when such practices are exposed by the foreign nation in question?

America: Is This the End of an Era?

"Can you imagine a world without the United States in it?"

Yes I can since 400 years ago, there was no USA.

"They have nothing, they build nothing, they sell nothing without OUR demand."

Saudi have oil. China as massive population as well as massive projects. Japan bearing the brunt and may need China's help to stay afloat. To say such things would suggest the author is not up to current events, purposefully misleading readers using nationalistic emotions, or both.
