It will not work if it will just be a partial pull-out of the world from China. It should be a total pull-out in peace time, because of competition. Highly unlikely in my opinion, but I sincerely hope it happens. I realize that I am being selfish here, but the world has already 'lost' so much livelihood to them....

The "Taming Of The West" certainly can be considered a shameful time in US history. There certainly were atrocities and massacres from both sides. But disease was still the primary reason why there's so few native Americans. They simply didn't have a defense against Old World diseases. That's why many here are so scared of modern day diseases such as Ebola.
Interesting sidenote though. We live in Apache and Navaho country. Up north in Nevada, it's Paiute country. In fact, my wife's cousins have Paiute blood because of their dad who's a "halfbreed".

China was self-sufficient long before they became the manufacturing hub of the world. They've had their own car industry, defense industry, etc for a long time now. Remember, there was NATO. There was the Eastern Bloc. There's People's Republic Of China. 3 distinct spheres of influence.
But being self-sufficient is a far cry from being a superpower.

yes it is :D but its still a big deal to be able to produce something your own :D
but getting back to the topic...yeah. i guess the western media is just being too biased at times...we must remember the lessons from the marcos era...that not everything that works in the western world will be guarateed to work in another region...tgnan mo nang mawala si apo,naglabasan ang mga tsonggo ngayon at di na tayo umasenso hehe...sayang sana hindi na nawala si lakay,he may not be perfect but at least he knows whats best...the most recent example is iraq...ngayon...sino makapagsasabi na better off sila ngayon kesa nun panahon ni saddam? some regimes are tyranic for a reason. not every regime will change overnight :D
and yes,hypocrit ang madami sa western powers hehehe

Who's Lakay and who's Apo? Are they good guys?
Going back to topic..... I still don't see where the article says "Western" powers are involved. It looks like an African matter to me.
Add: If it makes anyone feel better, that matter with China over Tibet barely made the news here. I'd hazard a guess, it's an internal matter for China.Last edited by Jun aka Pekto; April 23rd, 2008 at 06:55 PM.
