  The US needs to work on its domestic issues(debts, homelessness, and other issues) since this will affect how it will able to deal with the world.

  I am in South Africa. China is doing so much investment and creates so many jobs in all of Africa. Even in South Africa they are developing new mines, are involved in agricultural projects and many more projects in all forms of industry. China is not just doing this in Africa it’s also involved in Asia and even Europe This while the US investments and exports into these countries did not shirk it became nonexistent, but that’s capitalist greed. The digital Yuan will replace the dollar.

  In the event of regionalization, it's the incumbent global economic hub and middle-size countries who suffer most. Large countries with huge domestic markets will endure better.

  Export accounted for 40% of GDP of China in 2000, but now it&apos;s only 18%. &nbsp; As a comparison it&apos;s 12% of GDP for US. &nbsp;<br>China knows to be a major power on the world stage, you cannot depend your GDP on others. &nbsp;The government actively encouraged the growth of their own internal market. &nbsp;<br>So despite their enviable growth in export markets in the past 20 years, their growth of its internal market is even more amazing!

  Who can change the mess we are into now? with this crash I&apos;ll say it wont be too easy to pick the right stock, Jim Cramer said there are still huge opportunities despite the crash, and I overheard someone talk about making $250k from about $110k since the crash. How do I make these kind of returns?

  If we were to just go back to 500 years, its not hard to see that it was regional trade then. Italy in Europe; Persia (today’s Iran) and China. Each were regional hubs by itself but yet they traded via the silk route.<br><br>What changed is there is now the US and the Americas. <br><br>Chances are if the Europeans are smart enough; they will leverage both the World island with China building the infrastructure like the speed rails and with the US-Canada in the Atlantic. <br><br>Europe would be foolish to miss this great opportunity to regain its position in world trade!

  Damn man you are so right idk why those news about China keep popping up everyday. Like if they become richer good for them let them be. Can we focus on our own problems? Like the US is littering falling apart for the majority commons, especially after the pandemic, bad weather, etc. and all we talk about is China China China!

  Damn bro, do people want China to be poor? I am not crazy about China, but everyone seems so uncomfortable with that country becoming advance.

  The bipartisan view in Washington sees China as a threat to the United States’ long-standing supremacy, but Southeast Asians, Africans, Middle Eastern and many South Americans generally accept China as an important partner for their development plans.

  Software engineers often argue about programming languages, which is good better or the best. &nbsp;One computer guru said, there are two kinds of languages, one is what &nbsp;people use and hate, the other one has no users, now, stop the talk and go to write some code.
