China is harnessing power from every source, anywhere it can as we just sit and watch. IMO, energy will be the biggest weapon of the biggest economy in the world and we'll be trying to save the planet at our own demise.Too bad China doesn't have an AL Gore that the Chinese would listen too (but then they are too smart to change energy policy based on a faux scientist) and they know energy means POWER.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
More symbolic proof that China has arrived in the ranks of the ridiculously rich: the capital will be getting China's first vending machines that dispense gold bars. Patrons can pay by cash or credit card.
lol China's economy has rapidly developed but they are still not up to snuff in other areas, like diplomacy. Libya is a good example.
China fears their populace revolting so they condemned both the Egyptian and Libyan demonstrations against the ruling families. Now that stance is backfiring, Libya's rebels aren't too keen to sell oil to a country that continued to sell weapons to Kadaffi.
