  2. Will China collapse soon?

    Just for the record: @Richiedamien: Umm......actually the U.S. is the "Saudi Arabia of Coal) Shadow_Assassin - Correction: Australia is the world's largest coal exporter, even though the US has one of the world's largest coal reserves. I don't know to which of these you were referring to, though. You didnt read our understand what i've said!! I dindt sayed nothing about exporting, why should a country with 1.3 Billion people, more than a fifth of the world's population should think in exporting coal, China is not Australia with only 20 milion people and a size of a continent, that allows Australia to export all that coal! What i've sayed is that China has the biggest reserve coal in the world, they have 28000 mines that produce 1.7 billion tons/year, against 1 billion tons/year that USA produces, second largest producer of coal, against what someone said before. (the numbers i have are from 2004, from books and study's made by US and European statistics, not from wikipedia) So dont come with Nation pride numbers, cause i'm only talking about numbers that are supported from books and statistics study's, thanks They export a small portion of the coal because they need all they can get, China's engine for now is COAL, just like England in the XIX century, so for a economy with 1,3 Billion why should they think in being the biggest coal exporters, they have a market of their own, every year in the last 4 to 5 years they openned hundreds of old mines and discovered new one's, and this will continue in the next years. For people who never been to China it might be difficult to believe, but in streets you can see people selling bricks of coal to warm up residential house's, a majority of energy power plant's are feed with coal. When i talked about the burning coal at open air in mountains, i didnt explain myself, if China stopped burning coal in all the industries, commerce and residencial AT ALL, they would still had a zone in the interior, that would be burning coal for the next decades naturally, and would pollute the same has england does! Im sorry, im not anglo-saxonic, so my english is not perfect, but what i am trying to say is that in China they have a zone that burns coal in open air naturally, and produce the same pollution that england does!!...MORE!!!....Chinese government cant work out this problem, so the coal will be out there burning for age's!! So China IS the biggest producer of coal. And by the way, supported by American, European and CHINESE statistitcs...CHINA MIGHT HAVE A BIG PROBLEM, because there are around 200 milion people unacounted, making China's 1,3 billion people going to 1,5 billion, you look at the numbers and you think, just decimals!!! LLOOL, its like china added 2/3 of US population in a row. Well, ill be talking latter of some other subjects with numbers, an example: China is outpassing other bussiness schools in the world, company's are going to China instead of Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, etc...its not because of price's believe it, its the quality...but ill explain that latter has i said! And for the record, i am not chinese, american, australian, english, french, russian, our any other big country in the world ...im just a citizen of the world, remember globalization!!
  3. Will China collapse soon?

    China is going to be BIG!!! Want to know why? Because they have a diferent mentality from western people! And kibblewitbit, for the record in 2004 the Central Bank of China had 200 bilion dollars in treasure bond's from the USA, making them the bankers of the US Goverment. So they dont depend on western investment, at least no the way you think and not at his time, in the 90's you might use that excuse, they had recently opened their country and western countries thought here's our chance to build factory's and sell cheap product's to the rest of the world... It was like the backyard from western countries, but westerner's dont learn, do they!! After some years, the products made at china were already being sold at CHINA! Why? Because people were getting rich! In developed countries, rich and very rich people acount around 1% our 2% of population, in the USA its around 3 to 6 milion people, when china gets the stats close to that it will be from 13 to 26 milion people who are rich our very rich, can you imagine that!! At this moment you already have around 300 to 400 milion people beneficiating from capitalism, having western standard life's. At this moment China not only is making their own national industry, after learned with foreign company's they start copying!... you might say, "yeah!!! that's what they do better, but they will never made quality products, they don't have the know how!!" wrong again, by this moment china is making their own products, with quality improving every year!! And for those who are against communist government, i hate it, the control they have over the population, the lack of freedom, etc... But think with me please: Imagine China passed to democratic government like the soviet union, can you imagine the disaster!! 1,3Milion people free to travel and run from a country governed like russia had been in the 90's!! Thank god they dont have democracy, at least not yeat!! It's another thing i admire them, their patience! It's better to see this slow change over many years, if needed for 1 or 2 generations, cause if they had democracy, you would have around half the population iletrated, and about ALL not used to democracy and citizenship duty's and responsability's! Has for what Micah said, well there's the aquiles tendon of the chinese... You see, China has the biggest reserve of coal in the world, they have places were coal burns in the mountains at open sky, for years!! They know the ambiental problem, they suffer from that, you only need to check any megacity photo from china, and almost always the sky is brown! That's realy the most dificult they will have to work out, sincerly i dont know how are they gonna do it, because their country is ultra polluted! But im sure they will do it!! Once an american CEO asked to a one of this new chinese CEO's that got riched in 10 years, for how many years did he planned the company's strategy!! The answer is tipically oriental, he said "We plan the company's strategy for the next 200 years!" So believe me, China is the oldest civilization on earth, they have been around for around 5000 years, 500years ago they were more advanced in almost everything that hade technology, untill the emperor decided to lock china, and isolate them from the rest of the world! Now they are back, and with the same weapons, they will beat everyone...WHY???...because in this days we live capitalism rules, and human resources is their biggest weapon!
