If 25 year old television can state that the Chinese

[Deja Q]

are the power powerful ethnic group with the largest population, how come people still decided that America and Russia were the ONLY superpowers?

It seems China was the only one then; as it is now.

1. I never forget as a kid when someone told me that the Chinese were

training citizens to jump up and down at the same time to start an earthquake to destroy the rest of the world.

3. That's an amusing, if not bizarre, comment...

2. Well USA and the USSR had 10,000 nuclear warheads each.

And were able to deliver them by missle,bomber or sub launch. The Chinese were far behind then and still are now.

4. But where it counts, both then and moreso now, they were more powerful

Economics.

Money means more power to the CEOs than explosions; explosions needed to maximize their profits and nothing more. (why else aren't nukes used?)

If the neutron bomb HAD been perfected (a much longer range with greater stability) you bet those jackals would use it without a second thought. Neutron bombs hurt organic matter but leave structures and mechanics intact. As usual; property before people has precedence to those vultures.

5. Remember Jeanne Dixon's prediction?

Was it "America would join with the Chinese to overthrow the Soviet Union" or the "Chinese would join with the Soviet Union to overthrow America" ....... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ EMWTK!

6. when you think about it....

china's in a pretty good position right now. they've become the manufacturing base for most of the 'developed' world, they hold a sizable chunk of the US debt, and they have 4 times as many bodies to throw in front of the pacific fleet should they decide it's time to cash in the US' marker.

all in all, i get the strangest feeling that china is just biding its time.

7. China. The horniest nation on the planet.

Either they've done us in or they've done themselves in. God bless them Chinese with some birth control.
