Once China takes over as the Superpower, what differences will we notice?

If Americans are working Chinese conditions for Chinese pay, that is possible.@MarmeeMarch

That will happen if it goes down that road.

@whowasthatmaskedman But honestly we have unions here and I don't see that happening - so these lazy American workers (and I hate to say that) that are cradled and coddled by unions can continue to make for example substandard cars. Get rid of the unions and you will get a more productive worker.

Maybe not.. The Chinese might decide to keep the jobs themselves and make the US agricultural or a theme park /recreational tourism destination.@MarmeeMarch

@whowasthatmaskedman I dont know about that.

Agreed. And there are a ton of Chinese who would be available to come take the jobs if the Americans didn't want them. Remember that Ford and GM shares will be owned by the Chinese.@MarmeeMarch

Maybe not. The thing is the Chinese govt plans 50 years ahead as a direction. We are not talking an overnight shift, but gradual drying up of jobs in an industry and promotion of another. Not that far from Coal now.@MarmeeMarch

@whowasthatmaskedman So what the Chinese are planning ahead - what do you think we are doing ? I know you hate America so you will say anything.

I don't hate America. I do have issues with the way that big business influences politics. And All democracies are limited by the electoral cycle and public opinion. Long term planning is severely handicapped by those things. China doesn't have those problems.. This is not about knocking America.@MarmeeMarch

@whowasthatmaskedman yep big business are clearly in bed with politicians
