(10,942 posts)I have nothing against the Chinese, I feel that they should live well. But with close to 1.5 billion people, China has more upside than our nation does if their leaders would realize the power of their numbers. The USA became a great nation during a period of relative isolation when it rebuilt itself after the Civil War. If Chinese leaders turned their focus inward and started doing meaningful rebuilding within China, that nation has both the brain power and people numbers to emerge from a period of internal renaissance as the preeminent economic power in the world. China being a large economic power would create opportunity for our nation and man others and bring about a period of economic prosperity never seen before in the history of the world.
