Another fascinating insight. Can she/will she overtake the USA as the world's largest economy?

"For us in the West this is an entirely new phenomenon. And it will shape our future"

Interesting final comment.

I think there's every possibility that China will eventually overtake the USA.
Any country that goes from spending 75% of it's yearly take on inwards investment,
even if the majority of this is on military expenditure, down to as little as
10 - 20% is going to seriously retard it's future growth. Especially so where
it's social spending cost has risen in opposition, from 15% of yearly take up
to 66% and still rising then the USA has only to look at the UK to know where
their going to finally end up.

China

Will it shape our future?...only as much as Japan did during the 70', 80's and
90's I suppose, what ever those changes were??...as you can see, It ain't an
easy question to answer, Sirius.

American firms increase their invasion of China

Will they get away with avoiding tax by telling their investors they're doing great but tell the Chinese government they're making a loss?
