They worried a few years ago about the Chicoms conquering the world militarily; Shit, they're gonna do it the easy way-Just write a check...But, OTOH, is that such a bad thing ? If they were to go to war w/us, they could quite probably prevail, but they couldn't hurt us w/o being hurt a LOT themselves, & destroying a great deal of their investments here. And the Chicoms aren't for nothing VERY astute businessmen. When you consider what a poor & backward place China was in 1979, & how far they've come in 30 years, its remarkable. They still have a long way to go, but when you look at pictures of Shanghai, Beijing, & other Chinese cities, & realise all those gleaming skyscrapers are less than 30 years old....Wow.
