I recently saw something while using StumbleUpon that really resonated with an important message I would like to point out: China is not only becoming the next super-power, it is already extremely powerful in the world simply due to trade. Ironic, isn’t it, that capitalism is what allows a semi-Communist country to hold some power over the rest of the nations?
What would products cost if the US banned trade with China as part of “sanctions”? What would be the economic impact? How would consumers respond, or more importantly, how would 2+ billion Chinese people react?
Consider these questions, and get back to me (using the comments feature).
I would love that to happen. Both the fall of western society, and of China, economically of course. Maybe then China might not resolve to slave labour, corrupt governments, and pollution to create a stable economy (no matter how unlikely).
