Did anyone even read the article? They're opening the tech corridor in Canada due to Canada's "friendlier immigration policies" so they can import more workers from China and India, not to spread the difference. They com

When it comes to states like the US, a military agreement or alliance doesn't mean the US will "honor it" when their allies are attacked or in need of their assistance. It only means they will consider giving some kind of aid

People can be selfish, delusional, and cruel. If you take the Western ideals of individualism, a person would be lucky not to have to deal with people like the easters. Matter of fact is, everyone will have to at one point in their life or

Nah, that is so softball. The US will hit them with something that has far more leverage. China has a severe weakness and that is the capacity to feed their population and the hundreds of millions of young single Chinese men who will never

Sure, you can cherry pick your data all you want. If we look at their infrastructure and military costs, they are within the ballpark to recover gracefully. As for currency manipulation, did you conveniently forget that the US bailed out th

The RMB and Yuan seem like good longterm investments IMO despite the current volatility in Chinese markets. The one thing however that is concerning is China's abilities to counter US attempts to devalue and destabilize their currency,
