Without a doubt ,China is gonna be a very big player on the world scene in the next decade or so.It is a massive country,with a massive population,but the nature of the Chinese people in general, is passive.Their next door neighbours Japan,are not..as history has proved...India,again borders on China,that is another economy that is getting bigger by the hour..these countries are no longer the "poor cousins" to the big western boys..look at the olympics,the organisation and skill that went into that showpiece...the world will have a totally different shape in a few years..go east young man..instead of west..will be the business cry...then stick Russia into the equation,with all it's energy reserves,to feed these two awakening sleeping industrial giants on their doorstep...so who needs America? who needs the UK?..who needs NATO?...it will be two fingers up to the lot of them from this coalition..WE are going to end up the poor relation to this mob in the future..we are going to end up the customer,and them the supplier...The world and it's auntie invaded China for the olympics...would it or did it change anything regards how they run their country..you must be joking!..look but don't touch...but this is how it is done! and this is only the start..try and better it!..that is their motto...while the west is turning to seed,thru greed,complacancy,and "we are the best " attitude,the other side of the world are slowly but surely taking over by stealth...sure as day follows night...Uncle Sam,and the British Bulldog,are being slowly relegated to the back rows of the world stage...........Terry..
