- trickyt, on 02/18/2008, -6/+61They can take our ideas, but they can never take our FREEDOM!!
However, we'd be willing to share it. For a price. - Tangaroa, on 02/18/2008, -11/+65It worked for the US in the 1800s.
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -7/+52We gave it to them in the name of greed.......
- MasterThief117, on 02/18/2008, -12/+53They are not stealing it. It is being handed to them. By everyone, especially the US who is borrowing so much money from them, they practically own us. Actually, they do own us.
To sum it all up, the US will collapse in a matter of years and China will take over. So much for being the great nation we were before. We will fall. Just like Rome. - highPhone, on 02/18/2008, -7/+42This is so poorly written and cites exactly zero sources, don't bother reading it.
and ASP is dead, when will they ever learn? - FireAtWill, on 02/18/2008, -4/+37Except Rome didn't have Nukes. Sweet, delicious, nuclearific Nukes.
- kenwestin, on 02/18/2008, -0/+28Wow, China's evil master plan is to educate their youth. How can we ever compete? Maybe focus on educating our own youth?
- Husvik, on 02/18/2008, -13/+38Do you really believe the axis of evil crap? It's just propaganda for the American people to support US troops being sent where they have no business being to enforce the agenda of the elite.

- bah7t4, on 02/18/2008, -5/+28When I read that article I see "steal Western Technology, then use it to move ahead.." We need to graduate more people with degrees in math and applied sciences. Use our American ingenuity and American work ethic to produce tangible high technology products instead of guilded real estate markets.

- Tirpack83, on 02/18/2008, -4/+21This website is kind of crazy; it's completely devoted to war. Maybe hyping up the conspiracy theory a little bit?
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -4/+20Yes, the US is suddenly going to collapse in a few years even though we're nowhere near as unstable as we have been throughout the history of our country. And even if we DID collapse, it's not like China, which is completely tied in to our economy, would collapse either...
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -0/+16Wait till after Beijing 2008 Games then watch for massive unemployment in China.
- doshindude, on 02/18/2008, -5/+21they'll steal western technology, then pirate it and make a bunch of cheap knockoffs.
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -8/+23no, i believe US should recognize the big ass snow ball that's coming down on the US and instead of making enemies - US needs to make partners really fast even if it is on their terms
- SemiSarcastic, on 02/18/2008, -1/+15As far back as I can remember a lot of the British inventors who helped America along during the industrial revolution came to the States at their own free will, though suffice to say that there was simply more money to made in the US.
- richporter, on 02/18/2008, -1/+14Don't be such a doom sayer. Every empire falls and in most cases the country remains, no longer in the position of power it once was in of course. Being a great nation doesn't imply being the worlds only super power.
- MiltonWaddams, on 02/18/2008, -5/+18All your future are belong to us.
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -0/+13I've been very tolerant with them... But when they start messing with my hover car, I have to draw the line!
- cultist667, on 02/18/2008, -2/+13the chinese stole our economy many years ago thanks to wal*mart.
- aussieNickuss, on 02/18/2008, -1/+11It's not hard for them to steal western technology as most of it is already manufactured in China.
- JavertHolmes, on 02/18/2008, -0/+10It's hard to take an article seriously when right beside it is a graphic saying "Discover what martial artists and the army don't want you to know. FEAR NO MAN [in big red letters]."
It'd be like the New York Times writing an expose piece with a penis enlargement ad beside it. - FutureGuy, on 02/18/2008, -0/+9Its not just Clinton, its every American. Those cheap made in China gadgets have a huge price tag. The future of this USA had been traded, its kind off too late actually, you think sinking dollar is just a coincidence? It represents the sinking value of US as a nation. The present generation would be know as the ones that traded in the country for greed. Enjoy you iPods and Wiis.
- cronian, on 02/18/2008, -0/+9There are a large number of Chinese students in the hard science graduate programs in many American universities. Large corporations have outsourced manufacturing production to China, where the Chinese workers can learn everything directly from the source. If it gets patented, there are thousands of Chinese engineers and scientists pouring over US patents.
How many technological inventions are there for the Chinese to steal? When you add reverse engineering, and if need be, corporate espionage, it doesn't seem too hard to get America's industrial secrets. However, US policy doesn't seem to care about the long-term health of the US economy. Greedy businessmen politicians have been destroying America. - Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -3/+11ancient chinese secret! CHINAGATE
- KingGorilla, on 02/18/2008, -0/+8we're not miracle workers!
- Lenbot, on 02/18/2008, -0/+8Okay China Didn't Steal Anything. We gave it away by allowing corporations to put up factories there. Think about it Where were the factories during the American Civil War? Well I know that there just Toy factories most of them but still we made an unsustainable economy on the backs of foreign country's now we pay. I hope there merciful cause we sure weren't merciful to them.
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -0/+81.21 JIGAWATTS!!!
- aussieNickuss, on 02/18/2008, -3/+11America is not the only Western country. This story applies to all of us.
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -3/+11And then they'll bring Hitler back from the dead, and then Cobra Commander will join them. And the Galactic Empire, and the Borg, and the Decepticons...
I'm sorry, I just got a little carried away there. - inactive, on 02/18/2008, -1/+8I think maybe because the Chinese collection agency is probably about 1 billion strong.
- SemiSarcastic, on 02/18/2008, -0/+7Well the only place you go after hitting rock bottom is up, or would you prefer we stay there?
- Comatose51, on 02/18/2008, -0/+7Chinese spies make good news headlines but in truth that's not how they acquired American technology and manufacturing techniques. We handed it to them on a silver platter. China has and continues to tax the hell out of imports. In addition no foreign company can own more than 49% of a Chinese company. So what does that mean? China has a huge cheap labor supply. American companies want to cut cost so their CEOs can make millions on bonuses. What to do? Partner with the Chinese of course! Take 49% ownership of Chinese companies and move our factories over there. We tap the Chinese labor and the only people who suffer are the American workers. Win-win right? When we move our factories over to China or teach our Chinese partners how to make something, we're giving China a crash course in modern industries and manufacturing. Have any of you noticed that instead of making plastic toys China also makes our computers and iPods? In the span of a decade they've learned the techniques and built the infrastructure for high tech manufacturing. They don't need spies to do all that. They just need American greed. This is an all around losing proposition for America in the long term. We accumulate debt to China and teach them how to replace our factories. The few glimmers of hope lies in our R & D prowess. China has yet to have companies like Google, Microsoft, and IBM. Nor do they have the world class research universities like we do. We attract Ph.D.s from around the world, even Chinese ones. Still, with mainstream America's fear and hate for intellectuals, it's not hard imagining China catching up to us in this as well. China, unlike America, actually values education. Instead of jocks being admired, it is the nerd who dominates the Chinese schools.
This isn't some comment to inspire fear of the "yellow peril". I am a Chinese American after all. These are observations I've made over time by comparing the two countries. - Railz, on 02/18/2008, -0/+7It was one sub iirc. The same article ran twice. If you want to say twice, you might mean the sub from around the 97 wargame around Taiwan.
Also it was around 6 Miles out from the last ship, which isn't even in torpedo range.
All China managed to do then was to try and pound their chest against America. They had no reason to surface the sub, other then to show off (which they probably weren't - they were most likely detected but nothing could be erratically done for fear of actually harming the sub/relations) Why piss off the the largest Navy in the world is beyond me. There is no argument against China's lack of a blue water Navy, so for them to try and spin this just didn't make sense.
If you look into it, it was
1) A Nato officer; no USAN offical would report it
2) This is done often to try and make congress give more money to one branch of the armed forces over another branch (happened with the F-22) - fef560, on 02/18/2008, -0/+7Every European nation/state/area has had its turn in the spotlight and every single one of them got out of the way eventually. While its nice to think the US will be the superpower forever, its just not going to happen. It'll still be pretty powerful though, just look at Germany or Great Britain.
- tekmonkey, on 02/18/2008, -2/+8They already stole 400,000 unlocked iPhones! What's next?!
- Bviper, on 02/18/2008, -7/+13Yeah and if we went to war with them, their source of technological ideas would run dry. Not only would they no longer be able to steal from us all the their truly smart citizens would stay over here because they realize what their government truly is.
- retzed, on 02/18/2008, -4/+10Should I be paranoid around Chinese?
- masterm1nd, on 02/18/2008, -0/+6Ironically, just this week multiple Chinese spies were busted.
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -1/+6Any other country and I'd be less scared. China is NOT the country you want as the worlds only superpower. Even if I heard Germany was rising under the leadership of a charismatic man with a funny mustache I'd be less freaked out. China kills it's own people when they try to change things, they turned the military against the democratic revolution and massacres thousands of students, workers, and activists. They went to Tibet and murdered buddhist monks for ***** sake, maybe the most harmless people in the world and they killed them off so they could plant a flag on a mountain and say it's theirs. *****' China.
- bah7t4, on 02/18/2008, -2/+7agreed
- Lenbot, on 02/18/2008, -4/+9China didn't even have to do anything the whole thing is playing into there hands.
- KingGorilla, on 02/18/2008, -1/+5you mean take the things they already make and make a cheaper version?
- DestroyFascism, on 02/18/2008, -0/+4So China Builds a giant war machine and declares war on the entire world? lol
ok here is how it goes...
China declares war, Russia joins them but Russia is quikly removed when the USA and EU Demolish the oil supply from Iran and the east in all of 3 hours.
China has taken Singapore, (poor Singapore) and committed just over 1.8 billion people to the war effort. American, Australian and Canadian Subs and low altitude torpedo bombers, you know the ones that split ships in half?..demolish the supply lines into SE Asia rendering 800 million starving without ammo. Then the American and Australian troops move in with Air support wiping them out. The UK and EU now have control of Russian Oil lines and the Caspian Basin. The USA and AU/ NZ forces are lining up to clean out Singapore and Taiwan. Meanwhile High Level Suicide remotes have begun dive bombing China's interior Energy reserves and Power Generation rendering the country "Blacked out" then the Final battle ensues along the China coast and after which China ceases to be a self governed power.
Its happened with every war, ever, no one wins, we all lose and generations suffer but the bankers make off with the profits and encourage much Debt afterwards....
And so it goes... - inactive, on 02/18/2008, -0/+4They eventually got mopeds and they seem pretty satisfied with that.
