They are a billion plus and increasing, yet suffer little "within," and deftly resist being involved in war in other countries.
They rule with an "iron fist" and stop internal dissonance immediatley.
There is no doubt that predatory,contemporary man "needs" to be controlled.
Their numbers of "billionaires" is increasing and even tho wages are low for the worker, they seem to be living comfortably.

  Sometimes little keys can open big locks, China has capture world's market and they have made certain Laws to control population, they are strong and have friends in the world, their people are hard working and they have achieve a lot due to their wise thinking. We should have strong will power to do the right thing and make the right decision. GOD help those who help themselves.

  TY for responding to my question.
  The answer to your question: " Who created the world and us?" is presumptuous.
  Why would you presume a "who" (What or which person or persons)would create the world and us?
  Your question is obviously, to me, based upon a background in religion. Am I wrong?
  I can tell you with great certainty that no one can answer that question in any form but "opinion."
  If I were to attempt to answer it, my answer would be: serendipity is the creator.
  If you can prove me wrong I'll welcome your thoughtful intellectual response.

  Regardless of many problems and issues with China or Chinese government (well, just as the many problems with any other governments) we are or not aware of, one thing is sure: you don't know a thing about China.
  
  How many the US has killed? Or they don't kill anyone?
  
  China does not get involved in wars; if the US could do the same, the world would be a lot more peaceful, ,more importantly, the Americans would be a lot more richer

  By 'society' he means the tiny group of super rich white males that he worships and waits beneath for crumbs to fall from the table, unfortunately he still hasn't grasped that waiting underneath just gets you the crap.
  
  Thinking that alternative systems are by their alternate nature just bad prevents us thinking about how to improve them and our own systems. This blindness leads to the mountains of dis-information, lies and fabricated little stories - and the emotive displays about other systems - which are hypocritical beyond belief.
  
  To talk, as someone earlier, about a few minor border skirmishes in a region famous for border skirmishes and where India and Pakistan still shell each other daily - from a position that seeks to ignore the murder and devastation in the same periods of our own countries is almost creepy in its wilful ignorance. If we can't criticise our own actions how do we deserve the right to criticise similar behaviour in others.

  I think it all depends when and if we get our act together. Which actually can start tomorrow. Something is going to happen, we are at the next stage of life. We are not at the point in life that our fathers have worked so hard for, for millions of years. I think it is about time we pay them back, and make all their work worth it.
  
  What does our debt and paper money matter if the people take over rather than the gov'ts. I'm not worried about the Economy, it is a made up currency. As soon as we decide that that paper is worth nothing, its worth nothing.
  
  Government is taking control more and more, and not letting our economy do it's thing. We don't need the government for many of these programs, we need our people to step up.

  No doubt a "New World Order" is in the works.
  As we presently exist a "one world gov't, is "greedy and predatory..." is true.
  There is no chance for a "1 world gov't" to exist today.
  We are a massive, fragmented species which hasn't the maturity to function in concert under the authority of such a gov't body.
  There is no doubt that $ controls absolutely and absolute power corrupts absolutely!
  A "New World Order" will have as its foundation corporate power.
  I think we will realize that by the end of this yr.
  Our "buck" is becoming less valuable and other nations to whom we are in debt are meeting in clandestine fashion to change world currencies to suit there needs.
  The world is shrinking. China, Russia etc., are becoming more like America in the past and we are becoming more like them in the past.

  China pretty much has most of it right! They are heading directly to become the next world top economy, the next superpower and the living standards of ALL its population is rising, not equally but that has never happened anywhere before either.
  
  As an observer with little political contact or particular interest, I see little difference in their way of governing and any western so-called democracy. In the US you get to vote on which particular group of white rich males get to feed off you and which super-rich guy will be your pres. Here the local comittee both carry out the instructions from above and also send their own representation up.
  
  Here dissent is discouraged in proportion to its seriousness, in the west any dissent is lost in the screaming of its opposition that we like to call free speach. In the US serious dissent is called un-american activity and gets the same response from your so-called democratically elected gov.
  
  The actual difference that I see is that China has historically defended its borders but has never shown any interest in colonialisation, the bedrock of western governments and economies. China has not 'gone to war' on the other side of its world, at any time in its, at least, 3000 year history, (they claim 5000).
  
  China has had the same basic government model for a couple of thousand years with a central body operating through satellite bodies in descending authority - now the partyat the centre and in the satellite bodies, before it was the Emporer and his minions - the structure remains the same.
  
  What I find most interesting in any comparison is that between the times that Alexander the Great was destroying the Persian empire and the Roman Empire set out to conquer most of our ancestors in Europe - the Chinese were holding national examinations for entry to the civil service in poetry.
  
  As to the question about one world government, the Chinese have never shown any interest in governing anything outside China's immediate sphere of influence. Regarding the idea of the world adopting the Chinese system of government - it appears on balance to suit the Chinese temperament of self discipline and tolerance, it would not suit the undisciplined and intolerant nature of most western states.

  @ recommend1...I was born in China and raised in the US. Thus, my world view is undoubtedly more "Western" than yours, but I have been to China and understand that it's not as corrupt as it's painted out to be. China's system is undoubtedly more efficient than many others around the world since the government can make decisions instantly, instead of spending months arguing about it. However, in the end, it all boils down to what you consider to be more important - personal liberties or order/efficiency.
  
  For me, I would choose Human Rights any day over efficiency. I like it here in the US and I like knowing that the truth is not constantly being filtered and twisted to illuminate the government. No country is perfect, but the fact that the Chinese government has both Baidu and Google employing active firewalls to block out controversial information sucks.
  
  Economic stability does not equal Social stability.

  You are mistaken - I am not Chinese, I just live here.
  
  I have no particular wish or need to 'defend' China per se, but I feel obliged to counter the more ridiculous nonsense that appears in these threads from time to time. I also do the same for the west hre in China. My line is intercultural communication and exchange, and is about helping both sides to understand each other. Understanding comes through discussion - but if bull@@it is presented as fact it helps no-one.
  
  With regard to your comment about Human rights - the record of the US is far worse, you have more people (mostly black) in jail than any other nation - you have Guantanemo and you are wreaking devastation and death in many places in the world, Iraq just the latest.
  
  With regard to news - you get just the same twist and turn on your news, the only difference is that you get so much garbage that you cannot sort the truth from the Fox.
  
  And I am not boasting or even suggesting that China is Awesome - it is just another country with a different set of rules and ways of living. I will admit to enjoying living here if you like.

  I think China has far worse track record than the US, just think about Tibet. Plus, look up how China deals with drug offenders - they're taken from their homes, locked up in sweatshops to work (under the whole, hard-work will cure everything mentality), not offered any treatment to get off their addictions...and are trapped in that system for years to decades. Err...so be careful if anyone offers you anything illegal! It won't matter if you're not a citizen since China is strict! =] BBC reported awhile ago that China executed a mental disabled British man for bringing cocaine (I think) into the country.
  
  Read this article by the Human Rights Watch:
  http://www.hrw.org/en/reports/2010/01/0 … o-limits-0
  
  The thing is with China is that their press is government sanctioned so the people only know what the government wants them to know (unless they've actually experienced injustice first hand). Besides, the Chinese are proud that their country is rising up and becoming a dominant world economy...so I don't doubt that they'd want you to think well of them.

  "I think China has far worse track record than the US, just think about Tibet. "
  
  I guess you can be excused for taking this line as it is a common emotive issue that gets people excited. But if you try to compare China's annexation of that territory (right or wrong) with America's record in the 50 years since that action - you would have to be totally blinded to reality or a slavering ideologue. Make the cojmparison that you put up.
  
  China invades Tibet, builds railways, schools and hospitals. The people lose their independant feudal status and gain a massive decrease in infant mortality and general improvements to their standard of living.
  
  Leaving out hte minor atrocities that the US i sbeginning to admit to in various small countries around the world
  America goes to war in Vietnam - that consists mainly of indiscriminate bombing of whole areas including the use of massive amounts of napalm and nerve damaging defoliants.

  The US fund right wing thugs to terrorise South Amwerican countries by indiscriminate murder and random mindless destruction
  The US attack Iraq causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and total desruction

  How does increasing spending on domestic issues 'keep the masses under control" ?
  
  This kind of blanket Fox spew is patently ridiculous.
  
  Increasing spending within China directly increases the domestic market to keep all the Chinese production going while the rest of the world economies go into seizure once again. The resulting strength overall means that they will keep up the same economic levels and accumulation of money while western economies shrink, making Chinese purchases of western assets cheaper for them, and making it easier to move into the post colonial spheres of interest that they are quietly but certainly gaining - and to the advantage of those areas in the main.
  
  And the home consumer market has enough room for expansion to last another twenty years without any change of this policy.
  
  And the spending on doemstic issues is steadily bringing the economic situation up into line with those 'bubble' house prices - rather than the western model where the base economy is shrinking and unable to sustain the occasional little bubble that expands and bursts so frequently..

A Forbes article on China's real estate bubble, etc.

Forbes Magazine dated February 28, 2011

Prepare for a worldwide recession.

"...Regardless of China's long-term future, it's now in the stop phase of its stop-go economic policy, and a hard landing is likely.

As late as 2007 most believed that China and other Asian lands would decouple from U.S. consumers. They could grow independently even if Americans retrenched and stopped buying the exports that had traditionally driven Asian growth.

The 2008-09 U.S. consumer cutbacks disproved that theory, so China implemented a $585 billion stimulus plan in 2009. It was twice the size, in relation to China's economy, of the American fiscal stimulus that same year.

The results were quick and spectacular. China's GDP growth leaped from a recessionary 6% in the first quarter of 2009 to 12% four quarters later. But its exuberant bank lending spawned a property bubble and a spike in CPI inflation from negative territory in 2009 to 5.1% last November. Politically sensitive food prices rose 10%. China then slammed on the brakes..."

Unfortunately, if China goes into recession, the world will soon follow.

Re: China's military upstaging the foreign minister:
Wall Street Journal - OCTOBER 4, 2010

"China's Army Extends Sway
Other Nations Look Warily of Military's Influence on Foreign Policy; in Japan, Unusual Protests"

"...The Chinese military's political clout is expected to grow as the Communist Party's ruling Politburo Standing Committee—whose nine members are all civilians and don't include a foreign-policy specialist— prepares for China's change to new leadership in 2012..."

"...But the military has become far more outspoken in recent months, frequently upstaging the foreign ministry and heightening concerns in the region and beyond about how China plans to use its economic muscle..."

  Yes - annexing what China considered to be its own territory 50 years ago could be considered expansion I suppose. I can see both sides of that issue and see it as generally 'bad', and yet I can also see that China would need to secure its borders and this area is the equivalent for China as the Golan Heights are to Israel.
  
  The kind of ignorance I am talking about in relation to these issues is not so much in respect of the opinion but hte misrepresentation and direct lies that go with it, and the foolish people who are swayed by thiskind of 'news' The picture you include that I guess you think shows Chinese brutality on a Tibetan would be more convincing if the 'officers' were not clearly Indian border police by their uniform.

  I'm a man of reason who feels both China and Israel should pay for their brutal occupations. Finding association and claiming innocence by stating "Isreal does it do" doesn't fly in my book. The fact that you blamed another country for the occupation is double speak. What next, will you blame fearies?

What are you guys even arguing about??

Mostly blacks in our jail system? Do some research on that before you go and completely slander them, I like to consider us all Americans, so don't ever single them out. I have seen black people get DWBs(driving while black), I have seen them get busted just standing there next to white people fighting.

Many of these black people are in jail for drugs(mainly marijuana and probably cocaine). Both of which should not put you in jail, let alone 25+ years. And I'm not talking about dealers.

You are right in that the news tells so many lies it will make your head spin. That happens in China just as much. What you are presenting and basing as fact, really has no merit either.

The question on this forum is, is China's system right for a 1 world Gov't. My answer would be no, there needs to be a lot of changes, but we certainly can learn a lot from China, as well as the US.. Two great nations who have done great, but will eventually end as their systems are not perfect.

Perfect or near perfect will be when the people run almost everything. And the Gov't does little to nothing. We will be more than capable to live without a gov't, but I am sure we will still have some type. It is really interesting to see what is going to happen, because right now you can only speculate. That is, unless you want to change the world yourself, which is possible.

  You are quite right in many respects here - except that if you look it up you will find that (as a percentage of the population) there are far more black folk in prison than any other colour. This is a reflection on the horrendous Human Rights situation within America, and contributes to America having the highest number of people in prison per capita than any other country. America also has a world education rating about equivalent to some third world countries - pretty much a crime in the wealthiest nation.

  Where are you getting this information from... That is not true at all..
  
  Here in America we like to put people in jail for nothing. So those numbers are bull crap.
  
  What black people being in jail have to do with this thread is beyond me.... Not to mention many of these black kids grow up with little help and no direction.
  
  ONCE AGAIN. You are saying something that is not only wrong, but completely unnecessary. THEY ARE AMERICANS, and the ones you are referring to, they are lower class citizens. Lower class citizens, I'll bet, no matter what race, will have a higher rate for people in jail.
  
  How many white people commit crime and get away with it. How many Madoffs and scumbags are out there still ripping people off. A MUCH, MUCH bigger deal than crime due to neglect.
  
  I want you to know that you have no idea about black people or apparently about America and their jail system, might want to stop talking about it. ME? I went to school 60% black, and have had many black friends. In the past 2 years I have heard of two kids I knew from school getting killed gang banging. This was their choice, not our Gov'ts.. I am sure that is the case for MANY, MANY of the situations you are trying to use in your case.

Don't forget that China is still a COMMUNIST country. That means that it is a one big well sealed prison with well functioned government and masses of brainwashed submissive people who are so used to hard work for nothing, so scared to be wrong (for the reason) that you cannot expect any protest there. It cannot be in any way an example for anybody in his right mind! Slavery system was very efficient economically in America if you remember but it could not last long. Hopefully China will have some changes too in future. Right now just a random example: How would you like it, if you wanted to have a child, and government would say, "no way, you already have one, it's enough for you. You are pregnant? What kind if a citizen you are? Go and have an abortion right away or we will fine you, let's say $500,000.00 for your criminal act!" it's just a very tiny example, I do not even want to go into more details of how everything works and in what kind of conditions people live and work, about system of submission, shame and punishment in society, schools, etc. It's a sad thing that some of you do not realise that. You see just the end result, shining face of a troubled system. Hitler had a big economical success in his country in 1930ies too. I don't need that kind of a system, government. I lived in a USSR, remember? This type of a system contains more lies and corruption, and brutal force than anything in the world. You can beat a horse to do elephant's job but you cannot make an elephant out of a horse.

  I will ask my good friends here, all members of your submissive imprisoned masses, what they think about that.
  
  I seem to recall that you are an escapee from the Russian system and meltdown, I have seen both systems and China is nothing like the Russian model.
  
  The one child policy has been well discussed elsewhere in these forums many times - most people here both agree with the policy in principal and want more kids, two generally. Without the policy China would now be more overburdened than it is at present with numbers of people, making it harder to engineer the fastest economic ever - making other improvements impossible like the free schooling for all kids in the last couple of years. These things are all a matter of balance - and the personal 'want' of people to have more kids, and the national need to get out of the feudal age.

Democracy and freedom are not just words, you know. Both Russia and China very conveniently dropped those from their systems' vocabulary. And those small words with big meaning can accomplish much more than any slavery and deprivation ever could. People are very creative and resourceful by nature, just don't turn them into animals prepared to slaughter, conditioned to hard labour slaves, for the sake of few rich. Any way you look at it - it's wrong!

In 1962 and 1979 China invaded India in border disputes over the Ladakh region of Kashmir. In 1979 they invaded, held and then abandoned a large tract of northern India.

While India was also not completely helpful in preventing these disputes, China attacked first in both instances.

To get back on thread - there are more options to a 'world order' than a single government. Nobody would want any of the current systems to have any more powers. Some kind of nations united that are not the closed little shop of those with the power but actually representative of all the nations - with real enforceable International laws.
