Are the USA and China "peace-loving nations"?

RE: Are the USA and China "peace-loving nations"?
Hello Creed, I disagree! Smile

That's very cynical of you. China see themselves as being peace-loving, obviously. They are after all a strong economic force, and they're an export-based economy. So they're totally reliant on the USA and other big customers of theirs doing well and hence giving them business. Thus, with all the major countries they export to of course they want nothing but peace to be between them.
Quote:Make no mistake. There will come a time, very soon I suspect, where the Chinese culture shall become the dominant one...complete with its own stiflings of personal freedoms and expressions. We're already seeing it happen in little spots here and there, such as Google's policies ever since their attempt to get into the Chinese market.
China will fall before it truly rises. What you have to remember is that China isn't anywhere near as powerful as the USA, and isn't going to be anytime in the foreseeable future. The USA's economy is going to slow in the recent future, and that will hurt China hugely, and the already low standards of living in China will suffer there. China, America, they've both been changing over the recent decades, and there's still a lot of change yet to come. For China, their future depends on the western world doing well. What we will see in the future is the price of Chinese merchandise rising, it won't anymore be as cheap as it has been. India will of course compete, but the quality of their products compared with China is terrible anyway, so we will just have to get used to the rising cost of "made in China". After all, we're still going to buy it.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
