| China: we're the #2 economy but we can't be held responsible to the world |
| 2010-03-17 |
| China prefers not to view itself as a global power that needs to take more responsibility in world politics, according to a wordy press statement from Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Sunday following the annual meeting of China's National People's Congress. But reality and spin collided at times Sunday as Wen struggled to convince that China is not the world's newest superpower. China is a developing country with a "weak economic basis," Wen said. Gaps between rich cities such as Beijing or Shanghai and the poor rural areas remains wide. "We want all the benefits of being rich but none of the drawbacks." "It might still take 100 years to transform China into a modern country," the prime minister said, speaking under gigantic chandeliers in a splendid room of the Great Hall of the People. |

| #6 They want a two-tier society where they exploit the hell out of the hinterland but get concessions from us because their hinterland is so poor. That's exactly what Kommie and co are doing. Hmmm, that explains those visits, gathering intel and fine tuning. |

| #3 I believe China must take care of the small things first (NORK). But I agree with them. China has mega problems that dwarf ours in comparison. With the population they have and the amount it will take to raise that country, I suspect that their GDP barely covers it. Their pollution is grotesque tho. |

| #2 Phuque the Chinese, we never should have done business with them in the first place. They're liers and thieves and have NEVER made anything by themselves, except for perhaps pasta and bird flu. |
