You are right to be concerned with China, let's all hope they can continue moving closer to democracy, and in turn more responsible to their people.
Think about this though.
We are a democracy. We are hyper consumers. Our leaders have to beg, borrow, and pander to win the popularity contests known as elections, and the only way they keep their jobs is to cut taxes while increasing spending. We think short-term. And in the long-term, that leads to collapse.
With triple the people in a lot less space, perhaps a nice dictatoriship is what China needs. Cause once their voice matters, their leaders will spend what they don't have to keep their jobs. Then, when they need more, they'll do what we're doing now, and "outsource our needs to other nations". IE: Take oil from iran/iraq to pay our bills.
Thoughts?
