I'm neither American nor Chinese. I'm just curious because I have heard from various sources that America is threatened by China which is predicted to become the world's "super power" in the near future... a position currently held by the US?

China is spending a lot of money helping the other developing nations. i doubt China would want to meddle too much with Iraq and the US... the last thing China wants I'm sure is to be a target for terrorism!

Not necessary to view China as a threat just because China may be another super power in the future.
Better to see China as a partner in working towards a better world and business environment.

If you saw some people in the rural places of China, you would know what you've heard is not true at all. Some of the people in those places can't even have enough food; a lot of them even starve. China has the largest population in the world, and it's the biggest problem for China. Does anyone have a concept of 1.4 BILLION people? The foreign people can only see some Chinese big cities, but never see those starved people.
How can a country which HASN'T EVEN HAD some of the people get away from the poverty line threaten America? Do you think China is capable?

both china and US are too depended on each now, everything cheap in US is made in china, and that's creating enormous amount of jobs in china. both nations are benefiting from each other economically. and they need each other politically as well, especially on north korea. US needs china to restrain north korea, and china wants to retrain north korea to allow china's peaceful economic growth in the region, but it needs the western world to put pressure on pingyong to accomplish that. all those media talks about chinese military build-ups are really just media talks. china is only spending a fraction of what US spends on its own military, and according to a washington thinktank's report on chinese military, it's still at an "immature" stage. i highly doubt a major conflict will break out between US and china in the near future. if it does, i will be going to wal-mart and pay $20 for a pen, and be very pissed off about it, too.

Threatened or not the ugly Americans will always find lame excuses to pester China,like they did in Iraq with their lie of weapons of mass destruction,and this will prove to be their 2nd Vietnam very soon .

from the opinion of normal people, americans don't care and neither do chinese people, they are both just living their lives and being happy. from the opinion of their governments, both the chinese feel threatened by the americans and the americans feel threatened by the chinese, take your pick on which group you want to be in. i prefer normal people.
