Reply #2: i think they are just smart

i mean, why be aggressive if you dont have to be ?
i think they see a situation where the other super powers are slowly destroying themselves(imploding) and they will just wait it out until theres a better time to actually be aggressive.

if you hadnt noticed, they like to put on grand shows of how nice and compassionate they are...
its the ole wolf in sheeps clothing. nothing new.

as far as their 'advances' go, id challenge the notion that they have advanced much... sure , the large metro cities have definitely progressed and wealth is around.. but if you go into the more isolated regions youll find nothing but despair, hunger, and poverty.

just ask the farmers that got their water taken away so it could go to the olympics for fountains and such... or the poor who live in the city whove had their houses surrounded by walls so people cant see the poverty while they are there for the olympics...

china is a threat to this world, whether thats apparent to everyone or not. propaganda goes a long way, especially if you live so far away and removed.

btw,
i dunno why we all still refer to china as a communist state... it is that only in name.
when you have a mixture of corporate paradise + heavy authoritarianism, youve gone into fascism.
