To stop their peaceful RISE???

Can the US do anything to stop China from becoming a superpower?
passing a law making Wal-Mart the biggest TERRA threat to the USA
Reply:The question has been around for how many thousands of years now? They can become a military superpower for a while, but they will never be an economic one as long as they are a communist country. The best way to stop them from doing anything is to export liberalism to their country.
Reply:Why would we want to do anything to keep China from democratizing itself? China has a terrible human rights record. The greatest thing that ever happened to the Chinese was trade with the US.





Our energy is better spent on finding ways to compete economically.
Reply:No - read the "Coming China Wars" - they have their own issues... but America is fascilitating it.





China builds the equivelant of the city of Houston every month. We have no idea.





70% of the world buys it's products from them


32% of our mortgages are owned by them


86% of our manufacturing has moved there.





Add the fact they (China) has secured 1/3 of the world resources for the next 10 years - and always negotiating (instead of fighting) and we are looking at an iceberg of issues.





I wondered what America looked like to the British in the beginning.... bet a bit like China now.
Reply:I would bet that everyone of us has an electronic device within reach, right now, made in China.
Reply:i wouldn't advise you trying this
Reply:we dont have the right to do that. for now all we should be doing is building up technologies to keep up with them
Reply:Stop doing business with them and charge all politicians and business executives that supply them with any high technology with TREASON.
Reply:Their peaceful rise????? No just like after WWII we could do nothing to stop the Soviets from becoming a world power (even though we did things that helped them as in allowing them to control Eastern Europe). I think the biggest danger for the Chinese is the same thing that hindered and then destroyed the Soviets information. In this new world of the Internet information is even easier and to me the constraints the Chinese put on some of their citizens can still generate uprisings that at some point might push the country over the edge. The whole North Korea situation also might be a problem for China in that if it threatens Japan or even targets it what do the Chinese do when Japan and its allies attack a country on the eastern border of China. Russia and its move to be back in a major role as Putin is doing also raises questions as to how those two live together in a modern world.
Reply:YES................we can wish in one hand, and sh*t in the other one . Then we can see which one fills up first............. *LMAO*
Reply:Yeah sure. Invade Afghanistan and buy off all the dictators in Central Asia so China can't get any oil from them. They're not going to become a superpower without oil.
Reply:the US has aim to contain China. so, this is the example of why the US is still in Iraq and wants to war on Iran
Reply:no
Reply:No and America shouldn't want to.
Reply:who da hell is america to stop em
Reply:Hopefully not. Why should China be denied the same pursuits that Americans have sought after? When people have something to lose, they are less apt to risk losing what they have. Their poverty rate is dropping like crazy. Capitalism has a natural course and China appears to be on that path.
Reply:Yeah, stop buying their shoddy, slave-produced, toxin-riddled, Walmart-enabling products. slow them down, have them produce less and thus pollute less, and give their manufacturing jobs back to Americans.





Win-win.
Reply:they could nuke them, ask them to stop growing their economy, quit the currency manipulation bs, or take them in as a state
Reply:Depends on what you mean by superpower. Considering China is our biggest trading partner, I don't think they're any threat to us, and I don't know why we would want to stop them economically. Sheesh, stop with the paranoia. The Cold War is over. Mao is dead and his legacy is slowly crumbling. It's only a matter of time before stuff like Jung Chang and John Halliday's book become available in China. China's becoming more and more moderate and has none of the anti-American rhetoric of N. Korea or Iran. In fact, they're more than likely as nervous about these countries as we are, since they're a lot closer.





Everybody knows the biggest physical danger to our country these days is terrorism, not "superpowers." You know what causes terrorism? Countries like the US trying to be the only rich kid on the block. Leave China alone. Share the Hummers and the Big Macs, guys. Corporations will kill our world before nukes do.

HEY HOT PATATA, you know why countries like China have all the manufacturing jobs? Because the fat, lazy American work ethic can't keep up with the fat, lazy American appetite. Try little Ping's job for a day. I dare ya. Or make your own damn clothes to wear for the rest of your life, like our great-grandparents did.
Reply:Sure, stop buying anything made in China. That will stop them in their tracks. good luck with that. It makes shopping sort of difficult right now.
