It seems like it will just be a large bunch of people marching in unison, with second rate tech compared to the Americans, with the only message being how strong they are... China has largely caught up in military technology compared to the Western powers and it is projected for them to be even with the US in a decade or so. | ||

China has already caught up to the US and other European countries in terms of military technology, that's why they buy equipment from Russia. But as far as I know, Timbuktu is also on the verge of rivaling the American and Chinese military. In fact, they have new biological missiles, which when detonated, fly over enemy territories and release a newly bioengineered species of Cordyceps that affect Homosapiens. This causes its victims to find the highest altitude they can reach (usually skyscrapers in metropolises or barns in rural areas), where they die shortly after, releasing more of these deadly spores onto unknowing victims. | ||

And if we were to, I'd argue that there isn't a single center, as economies are so interconnected these days that it'd just be foolish to argue that one country is the center of the world. Just because China holds hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. debt doesn't make it any more important than any other country; pretty much the entire global economy is so interdependent that the removal of any one node would collapse much of the current system. By that notion, China being a significant trade partner with the U.S. doesn't grant that much more clout than, say, the E.U. besides increased trade volume. As for your high school, you must have not been lucky enough to attend one with decent history classes. In our world history class we learned all about American, European, and Japanese imperialism at China's loss and negotiations such as the Unequal Treaties, Opium Wars, and other such measures taken against a pathetically weak Qing China. As for "classical" China, we also covered the various rises and falls of different Chinese dynasties, and its relations with other powers such as caliphate Arabia, smaller Asiatic empires, and Europe. We also learned about Mao's numerous failures (Cultural Revolution, Great Leap Forward) that did show that yes, there were instances in which he sucked at running a country. We also learned about Deng Xiaoping's subsequent westernization and modernization of China's industry and economy and led to its current success. Sure I learned those, but heres the problem, thats about half the shit that usa and europeans did to china. The government took it out of the curriculum because don't want to mention it.

"All I learned was...", with a lead-in like this, any argument you have to offer is completely defunct - there is much more to the story than that. Get off your high-horse and stop trying to argue that China is this pure, even handed state which the rest of the evil world is trying to corrupt. All countries have had their problems, all have made their contributions and basically every major power, at some point has taken advantage of another country. Its the way humanity has acted for centuries. Also watch you language. Im a european and I do not like having my heritage stamped upon, as well as incorrectly portrayed by someone who clearly has not bothered to listen in class. Learn some manners, and treat everyone in the world with the respect and courtesy they deserve. Hey, all I stated was the truth. If you don't like how the truth goes, then its your ancestor's fault isn't it? On October 01 2009 16:17 jfazz wrote: Read what i said more carefully before posting please. Did I ever say european countries have never caused harm to other countires? Actually, it looks like I said exactly what you are saying... If you actually look at history, even though chinese history is much longer than european history, europeans has fucked over more minorities than china has.

Oh stop arguing about the military. We're at a point where if we declared war on each other, we can end humanity. | ||

The only things remotely interesting were the drones, simply showing China is also developing in the un-manned weapons department. Nowadays, equipment identical in outward appearance can be vastly different in combat given it's the electronics and counter measures that more and more determines the outcome of an engagement. The indigenious J-10s are approximate in performance (traditional measures such as range/speed/turning) to F-16 which is 30 years old. The difference in electronics and weaponory technology we can never tell however given how China still sought european/russian technology which arguably lag behind US, it is pretty obviously not quite there yet. One thing China is good at is targetted development, not going engaging in a arms race on the strengths of US. For example, China has not put overwhelming resources in aircraft carriers, partly due to technology and lack of suitable aircraft, but also partly due to the cost effectiveness of developing counters such as missiles and subs instead of competing in the same arena. | ||

En, Fr, Deu, Me There's no reason anyone needs to even defend the name "Middle Kingdom." It came into use not at the beginning but sometime later, and it's built into the identity of the country's long history. Half right. Although you are right, and the characters do sound like the country's name, When it comes to naming things Chinese people are very careful, and usually pick out a nice name into a nice translation. For example, Zai jia xue zhongwen This can mean 2 things. At Home learning chinese At Canada learning chinese. On chinese broadcasts, they will typically use "Canada" as a pun. | ||

It's apparently impossible for people to stay on topic and not go off into a melee when a China topic is opened =.= | ||

I don't see why there can't be more Chinese posters like Affla or Empyrean who are objective and proud of their country, yet not as retarded. Sorry for lack of better words. | ||

There's a reason why the China topics are always closed, when say, a topic regarding Japan will generally stay on course. I don't see why there can't be more Chinese posters like Affla or Empyrean who are objective and proud of their country, yet not as retarded. Sorry for lack of better words. We chinese arn't retarded, we chinese are just tired of people like you constantly trash talking us. We were picked on for the last century and the main reason is because of idiots like you, and we want to change that.

I can't think of any more faster and efficient way of ending humanity than starting a nuclear war. And if you end humanity, I'm pretty sure you can't do it "more times over" | ||

And no, it doesn't matter Masamune. Why do you have to be Chinese to care? Do you really think it makes any difference how many times a country can destroy the earth? Nobody wants even 1/10 destroyed. Sounds like something a kid would say. | ||
