China now 2nd largest economy

May I suggest? Please clean up your language. Your logic wrt this prolem is right on. China will help only if there is something for it. We could help more but Washington has neer prepared for furure catastrophies. Re our own Katrina and the Gulf fiasco.

I'm from Japan so I do not like China..but the US is what I call home now. Well why do you think the U.S. sold those weapons and nuclear missles to Taiwan? ? I'd say that's for protection and annihilation last time I checked. They claim they didnt intend to do that but that's all BS the US shouldnt lie..They can't coward away from the Chinese like that..but then again that's how this current administration acts: Cowardice. Taiwan is afraid of a possible invasion in the future from China so the US and Japan have been selling them weapons. Vietnam is also jumping on the allied bandwagon No one likes China. You gotta feel sorry for those poor chinese on how their government treats them. they're all brainwashed into communism and dont know what a real free life is.

thank God for Japan we get anime lol..life without bleach an naruto is a bad one lol

I could really give a crap about anime and manga and anything related..Never been into it, ironically..there are the rare group of Japanese who dont find an interest in it..it seems foreigners to it mostly do, anyway.

I was surprised about China's military build up. I was reading about their new weapons this morning.

China targets USA

My mainland Chinese friend has been writing often his concerns over the US military ships off China's shores. I guess the aircraft carrier George Washington has been big news across China. It seems to have him worried. I tell him about the sinking of the S. Korean ship, and Japan's worries but he seems to care little about that.

I think cheap trade with China is fueling their military growth and hurting our workers. I'm for free trade, but trade with China is not free. More needs to be done to open their market, stop technology transfers - as required by current Chinese laws to operate there - or a tax placed onto their goods enter our country. It is not healthy to be this in debt to the communists.

More needs to be done also to stop Chinese spying.

Uhhh, I dont know if you're attempting to insult me, or wonder who's a** you pulled that from but last time I checked... Never did I know that "we" eat raw elephant let alone ever seeing an elephant in Japan..Your post right there is an immediate fail. Learn to use proper grammar and spell while you're at it, if you plan to insult me with your false allegations in threads on here. You might find that helpful

She must have gotten Japan confused with Thailand...
Although I can't really remember Thailand being unsafe. That's something I'd associate with Vietnam. [smile]https://i.tfster.com/cache/i40.tinypic.com/fazj2d.jpg">
