Tonight on ABC news there was a story on the opening of a Wal-Mart in China.
It said the Chinese currently have more disposable income than any country in the world…except the US. (Obviously not much on a per capita basis..but there are a lot of people!).

Lets face it…in the coming century China will be the economic power the US was in the 20th century…and the UK was in the 19th.

Given their current form of government and policies, God help us if they decide to be come a military threat.
