What's the real data on China's economic boom?

[LongCoolMother]

I don't understand how we Americans can have the face to criticize China's pollution problems when in fact we are, by an unbelievable margin, the world's worst polluter per capita. As a whole, the US's greenhouse gas emissions is only slightly less than China's, but we're talking 300 million people vs 1.3 billion people. :Q

Sure we do, most of us don't live with subsistence farming or satisfied living in poverty. Put those 1.3 billion people in our same standard of living, and I bet you their pollution number would be astronomically higher.

Obviously most Americans have no clue what's going on in China. I have 70% of my investments their also, I have a lot of friends their that I talk with they all seem to be happy with whats going on. I plan to visit next year after the Olympics CF.

Mike the Idiot was suppose to say NON-Americans I think. And again he has no numbers of the ones that are graduating in China. So, he has no clue.

Chinese stocks have reached the lowest they've been in 18 months.
How are your investments?

You worried about China? All they want is to be Americans - educate produce spend and live well. I think they may be the only ones self-assured enough to confront those crazy Muzzies while western cities burn, fueled with multiculturalism, human rights, bill of rights, due process, and rules of engagement.. Go China! The Chinese don't take shit from anybody... just ask the Pakistani "freedom fighters" and mujahideen fighting for the "freedom of Kashmir"... the MSM will NEVER remind you of this, but 10% of Kashmir is under Chinese occupation.

So while the cowardly mujahideen foray into the Indian part to murder civilians, kill women and children, and enjoy rapine and torture with reckless abandon, they NEVER, EVER go into the Chinese part of Kashmir.

Why? Because they are at heart chickensh*t cowards that don't really think that "God is on their side." They terrorize the peace-loving Hindus and Buddhists of India, just like they terrorize the Jews in Israel and the Christians in Sudan, Nigeria, and the Philippines: because they know that they can get away with it. They know that if they did go into Chinese Kashmir and make some mischief, the airstrikes would hit Karachi and Islamabad the NEXT DAY. The Chinese mean business. The Chinese are the new Texans regarding the old joke: "Don't ever buy toilet paper from Texas; it don't take sh*t from nobody. " I hope they spend 500 billion like us someday on offense.

So China's economy is TEN TIMES greater in a year than the year prior? Crack pipes must be what they're making, nothing else.

Circle jerking aside for a moment they also have a very rural population, immature infrastructure and education.

No they are making your Ipods, Iphones, Not just 99% of all the shoes come from China, More then likely the very computer and keyboard and mouse you are using was made in China. But all the cell phones like Motorola, LG, Touch etc...etc... are made in China, Most of the digital camera's are made their as well.

Dell, Gateway, HP are all made in China. Microsoft Mice and Keyboards yes all made in China.

China just bought out IBM's laptop department, but gateway and dell laptops are all made their anyway.

I dear you to find anything in Office Max or Office Dept that isn't made in China.

I am almost brave enough to tell you that your fat american ass is sitting on a chair that is made in China. Go look it's printed under the seat. I'll wait. I'd love for you to walk into sears and find anything that there that isn't made in China.

Also.... All the LCD and Plasma TV's + all 95% of all the projectors DLP/LCD are made in China.

Hmmm, it appears that the crack pipes are probably only made here in the USA.

Samsung = South Korea with plants in England, New York, and Portugal
Sony = Japan

Wanna take a stab at how much market share for LCD/Plasmas SONY and Samsung own?
