Yes. And with Australia and the UK leading the way, we’ll all soon have just as free access as the Chinese.

Well said! Where is my fiber to my house?
Get used to it. It’s part of globalization, flattening of the earth, whatever metaphor you want to use.
Today, the US has neither the largest mall, largest airport nor the largest anything is a growing number of ‘largest’ lists. Most Americans don;t have a clue what is happening/
Read the book http://www.fareedzakaria.com/
which is terrific.
More important:
While republicans plunged this country into an elective war and squandered the opportunity to use 9-11 to strive for energy independence, China, Russia and India focused on their internal growth and prosperity.
Obama is coming in a decade too late but , better late than never.
China is #1 in number of internet users unable to actually access the internet.
#5 Agreed. However, your type of thinking is very “republican-ish” policies. That is, you focus more energy on the irrelevant versus the relevant to our future.
For reference, there are more middle and upper class Chinese with equivalent spending power than there are in ALL of the US. More engineers produced annually.
So, when your child asks what city the next Google-like will come from, tell him, her it’s Beijing.

I agree somewhat. What you have failed to realize is that China doesn’t innovate or invent. It hasn’t since it invented paper & gunpowder. Study their history and tell me why they withdrew their merchants from the seas centuries ago. So, no, there won’t be a new “Google” out of china. They will continue to be a source of cheap labor & products until countries decide to reintroduce import taxes… And then, there will be major social upheaval in China followed by civil war as the Communists struggle to maintain power.
It will be interesting, if this country lives to see it.
#7 Good historical point. I know that you Republicans have a terrific rear view mirror. You predict the past with uncanny accuracy 🙂
While I agree in principle that history tends to repeat itself, I’m afraid “hope the other guy fails” is not a good strategy. Maybe I work for a paranoid company – actually, I do!
No wonder I couldn’t find the artwork on Google Earth. It’s Prado Museum, John, not Prada.

I didn’t mean to give the impression that I subscribe to that either. We’ll be totally screwed before China. They just won’t be in the position that the UK was in and we have been in.
