There's also 800,000 Chinese in the nation's military reserves and an unlimited supply of fresh recruits from China's 1.3 billion (and rising) population.
Google result.... add those numbers up and it is well over 200 million.

Is this really a fact??? You don't get any news etc. in US newspapers about China just because its a communist country!!?
Then how in the name of ... are you going to learn anything about the world as a whole? Especially since China will play a major role in the financial parts of it (they allreday are).
Talk about knowledge fragmentation!
Now - thats really scary!
If parents of today are smart they will try and stimulate their kids to learn chinese. No - they will not become communists by learing the language - but they will get the top-notch jobs some years from now in non-chinese companies (the business world is global - national borders and political beliefs are secondary).

Your forcing me into Biblical prophecy (I was tring to avoid) Communist countries don't allow a whole lota info out of the country. So, you think China's going to take over the world? Learn chinese??? Wow...if you knew what I knew you wouldn't be so chummy chummy with the chinese (govornment anyways). They will play a huge role in future events.... and I don't think they are going to be wanting to employ us.

Oh give me a break jay and get of that donkey (its not even a horse).
First I'm not at all "chummy chummy with the chinese" (if by that you mean I like the way they practice politic - I'm against anything so totalitarian)... communism doesn't work - even the chinese know that. Thats why they implement captalism and thats why large international corporations have offices in Bejing (several Americans one are represented a long time ago). And if you go to Bejing you do not have to eat fish and rice - you could just visit the local McDonalds.
No, I don't think China will take over the world...*sigh*... what I am saying is that it will be smart to realize that China will be an important in the international business world. Let's say you want a position at a large US Corporation (but they produce a lot of their goods in China, they sell lot of their goods in the Chinese domestic market) - don't you think that you would REALLY get a foot through that corporate door if you spoke both chinese and english? You would be carried through and get a large salery to go with it.
And what is it that you think you know that I don't that makes you so sure china is evil? (sound like it anyway). When it comes to business they are practical. Who, by the way, do you think has been the primary reason for the dollar not collapsing the last two years? ... let me give you a clue - they live in a country with 1 billion people. If it wasn't for all the dollar that China has been buying while Greenspan was printing it like a madman - the dollar would be really in crises - its bad enough as it is.
You surprise me jay - you don't strike me as reflected at all when it comes to understanding the world we live in.
PS! Its not really hard to get news from China. Just look it up. Plenty of news if you want to learn something. Intersting from a business point of view too.
And stop this left-wing, communist chummy chummy insinuations that you are making regarding me. I'm probaly more of a capitalist than you will ever be.

lol, those numbers do not add up to over 200 million
I think you mean 2 or 3 million. Its still a large army though

First of all - your heading "not for the easly offended"??? except please do not offend jay in any way. lol
Second - a debate usually evolves (a word you do not like - I know that) but still they usually do. And you yourself used words like global warming and politics in your first post. Thats means that anything that can shed some light in that field should be brought forward in the debate. Not just things you like.
Third - China came into the debate first because you made a joke about world domination and I responded with a dare-you-joke. But like always you do not have any humor so you took it literary.
Then, and only then did we discuss China (as part of international finances and as a tool for a more philosophical approach of debating and discussing - in this I mean ways of understanding the fundamentals that both European and US politics are strongly influenced by)
When you really didn't have any answer you chose to avoid every fact and every argument that I made by just refering to the Bible. You did not respond at all.
And this just says it all on how little you reflect upon politics:
Jay: "China will be an ecconomic power. So what? What does that have to do with American politics (see start of thread)?"
And what is this???:
Jay: "There are some things that that can be discussed without a person's faith comming into play. And we all know how untolarent you are in this manner."
I didn't bring faith into this - you did. And you are also the one not being tolerant ...lol... I'm openminded when it comes to religion and beliefs - you are not.
And last:
Jay: "I sense some hypocracy here. And when the going gets tough you start with your condesending remarks."
Why can't you just respond with arguments in a discussion and stop being so evasive. Because thats what happens "when the going gets though". And you have the arrogance to call me a hypocrite!
LOL... I just arrested you in your lack of knowledge, in your lack of reflections and understanding what even forms and molds politics in the US (China was just an example - could just as well have been the Middle east or Europe). You DO wear blind folds and you are mad at me because I exposed them. So be it. That I can live with.

First of all - your heading "not for the easly offended"??? except please do not offend jay in any way. lol
( I am not offended...its just sad that you can't debate without condicention)
Second - a debate usually evolves (a word you do not like - I know that) but still they usually do. And you yourself used words like global warming and politics in your first post. Thats means that anything that can shed some light in that field should be brought forward in the debate. Not just things you like.
(I believe at the end of original post I wrote "If you would like to debate these or other topics feel free to post" Things I like??? There you go putting words in my mouth again.)
Third - China came into the debate first because you made a joke about world domination and I responded with a dare-you-joke. But like always you do not have any humor so you took it literary.
(I didn't take it literally **more words stuffed in mouth** And I do have a sense of humor so stop saying I don't!)
Then, and only then did we discuss China (as part of international finances and as a tool for a more philosophical approach of debating and discussing - in this I mean ways of understanding the fundamentals that both European and US politics are strongly influenced by)
When you really didn't have any answer you chose to avoid every fact and every argument that I made by just refering to the Bible. You did not respond at all.
(What are you refering to? I don't recall you asking a question that I could "respond to". You made statements nothing more.)
And this just says it all on how little you reflect upon politics:
Jay: "China will be an ecconomic power. So what? What does that have to do with American politics (see start of thread)?"
(The thread was started to debate American politics as I am unfamilar with the politics of other nations. Things like abortion, NRA, death penalty, economics(US), global warming, welfare and on and on)
And what is this???:
Jay: "There are some things that that can be discussed without a person's faith comming into play. And we all know how untolarent you are in this manner."
I didn't bring faith into this - you did. And you are also the one not being tolerant ...lol... I'm openminded when it comes to religion and beliefs - you are not.
(Give me a break already! I don't have my boots on!)
And last:
Jay: "I sense some hypocracy here. And when the going gets tough you start with your condesending remarks."
Why can't you just respond with arguments in a discussion and stop being so evasive. Because thats what happens "when the going gets though". And you have the arrogance to call me a hypocrite!
(Again, what arguements? I agree with what you said about China becoming an ecconomic powerhouse...do I need to post it every time I agree with you? Hmmmm you can't have a debate with someone you agree with. )
LOL... I just arrested you in your lack of knowledge, in your lack of reflections and understanding what even forms and molds politics in the US (China was just an example - could just as well have been the Middle east or Europe).
