Sounds about right for a country that got all of its economic ideas from the two greatest oppressors on the planet - the US and the UK - where all the wealth is in the pockets of a selected few thousand insiders. China is buying up South America at the moment and has enough wealth and momentum to carry on for now. In fact, the big story of the next decade will be the indebted economies of the world ganging up and telling the World Bank and IMF to go f**k themselves.

50% chance of another world wide war for resourcesNothings different then 1941.America strangled Japans oil lifelines and could do the same with present day China..1930s Japan built a Blue water navy ,present day America has warned China to keep its navy along its coast.Dont build anything larger then a Destroyer.Hitler attacked Russia because Russia was a Monkey on his back,dribbling out Oil for diplomatic and territorial promises....Russia still has the Oil and Europe doesn't,why do you think NATO is inching closer to the Russian heartland?Solar and Fuel cells could never keep pace to prevent WW3

"A Return to the Income Gap that Gave Us the Great Depression."A mess that was undone by the New Deal, Keynsian-style economics that, in turn has been undone the world over by US/UK intervention in the name of 'free market economics'. An approach which tends to leave countries with between 25% and 60% chronically poor and a handful of super-rich."...this inequity is creating instability."And some! If you could appreciate the mass unemployment and poverty inflicted on the Iraqi population so that Rumsfeld/Cheney/Bush crony corporations could siphon off billions in US taxpayers' money for doing a really bad job then you might start to get an insight into the attractions of religious fundamentalism and the motives for attacking 'reconstruction'. Iraq is a worst case but the same disenfranchisement is happening to poor people the world over. Even within the US. The Chinese people are not alone in feeling ripped off by their governing elite.
