@kashsoldier You are too simple-minded. In a globalised world, there’s no such thing as one country or a group of countries depending entirely on one. It is co-existence and interdependence. Are you of those people who don;t read your books or newspapers and talk from air?
there you go UK and USA GOT india and china got into cold war expenditure and concentrate less on economic dominance on world last thing EU and uk wants
The ‘US should be aware, that all of those, so called ‘Allied countries, such as indonesia / the largest moslem country in the world, I’m afraid had a cynistic agenda.
4th in land mass
and the west depends on china
without the west china will not grow?
bullshit being a superpower for 2000years by themselves china has proven itself
and your talking like the west would survive without china if the chinese economy deteriorate believe me it would only just a matter hours before europe plunge back to stone age
lol, what a western cocksucker.
no wonder it was so easy for the british.
the balance between east and west is tilting, but your right, the west would not diminish just yet. and china only started developing economically in 1980, and militarily only started developing in the 1990s after the Gulf War when Chinese military commanders truly realized that advanced technologies beats numbers of soldiers.
300 yrs of Research and development in all areas of study is paying them (west) well. China and other countries are just 50 to 70 yrs old in terms of development.
Globalization has helped many countries to improve their growth rate. It is very wrong to say that the west would diminish and east will rise !!
East depends on the west for business. Without the western consumers, there will be no growth for China (particularly).
Why China whines about protectionism by the west? China needs business and in other words, it depends on the west.
It wouldn’t take much time for the west to tilt the balance of power favorable to their side.
lol, are you fucking kidding me, iqabaad? lol, what do you mean ‘when it has’. Which navy in the 15th century has the same size and military powess than the Ming dynasty navy? Ming’s share of the world economy back than was 30 percent! How many world has Ming conquered? So can be said about Han dynasty? if we really are as vicious as the white people or the mongols, do you think we would have let the mongols, huns, uyghur turk nation remain on this earth until now?
lol, standing up for oppressed people? lol, bullshit, you americans supported saudi, yemen, Israel, Gerogia, all of which oppressed people. What about those iraqi prisoner who were treated like toys by sick US military police. And what about those innocent people in iraq and afganistan shot dead by private military contractors hired buy you western oil giants and other cooperations who also backed the war on Iraq to just rob them of their oil! Chemical weapons!? lol, what a fucking joke!
lol, well said, except for china, it seems to be a tradition to treat foreigners like gods! lol, China has 1.4 billion peple, second largest country in terms of land mass, infinite degree of complexity within the society, even within the Majority Han ethnic group, there are exists distinctive sub-ethnic cultures which would seperate into 4 or 5 different states had there been no strong centralized government.
watch your language
