What would HAPPEN 2 the US if CHINA BECAME A DEMOCRACY?

Answer 1

Democracy gets thrown around so much it really doesn't mean much anymore. The U.S. is a republic. These days we're about as democratic as China. We have a two party system where the incumbents do what they can to maintain the status quo. China has a one party system that does all it can to maintain the status quo. In both cases it is the corporations that are accommodated before the citizens.

Answer 2

The combined purchasing power of 1.1 billion-plus people, plus their combined earning power, would quickly surge toward a much higher level than it is now, causing China to become an even bigger player, a "heavyweight," in the world economy than it already is. Shortages of things China is using a lot of, like Portland cement, would make the price of that go way up. Demand for things China produces a lot of, like clothes and shoes, staying at current levels while they'd produce more and have price wars with each other (factories) would mean a pair of running shoes you can now get at Wal-Mart for $24.00 would drop even further to ridiculously low levels. Overall, it would make the world an incredibly wealthier place because of the natural tendency of human beings to work harder and produce and be inventive when the oppressive hand of fear is lifted and relative freedom becomes available. EVIDENCE what eventually happened to the civilized world when America in the 1780's became a democracy: cotton gin, ironclad ship, safety bicycle, telephone, automobile, electric power to homes, assembly line, airplane, etc.

Answer 3

They would keep dumping their cheap goods in the US, keep their currency low, continue to subjugate their people, keep funding our national debt.

So-- nothing-- keep the status quo.

Answer 4

we would be stronger
