When looked at on a International level China's numbers are great. However when looked at on a domestic level they seem to have a long way to go. They lack infrastructure and still have high rates of poverty and unemployment. I am just curious what peoples thoughts are. Also if they are a super power destined for global domination who is responsible for their rise. Is it Nixon for opening the door. Was it Clinton for his lobbying for China to be granted WTO membership? Can it be blamed on greeding consumers and Wal-Mart for the damanding low prices at all cost?

Have to run and dont have time to go into much detail right now, but here are a few.

1. Greedy trade unions
2. Greedy CEO's
3. NAFTA
4. Attorneys (The Eric C. Conns of the world, plus the ambulance chaser breed)
5. The EPA
6. Liberal spending polititians
7. Short sighted investors in American companies with demands for outrageous short term returns in the stock market.
8. OPEC (see EPA, we could be energy self sustained)
9. Al Gore and his goofy band of goons. (haha)
10. The welfare system.


These are a just a few that readily come to mind. These are not all reasons that are directly responsible for China becoming a superpower, but all are related to contributing to the crumbling American way of life, while all do directly give cause for opening the door for China to emerge into the economic structure of America and the rest of the world. I am sure others can come up with several more reasons.
