There has been talk of China being in the position of Superpower in the near future with several nations like Russia rallying behind them in a bid to challenge US and NATO's economic and millitary supremacy. Do you believe that NATO members will allow this to happen?

Celestino- I don't agree. Although China has a growing economy is still is far behind the US and Europe. The US and Europes economic power combined hold 70% of wealth and world markets. Russia is not much of a threat except for the thousands of roting Nukes that they don't have money to maintain.

wyld- Where do you get that debt number? Also, even if it was that high that is a fraction of our GDP so it wouldn't affect relations much at least on the US side.

Put simply: As China is not a member of NATO or EU, I don't think they would want China not to get powerful. I am sure even though Russia is in the picture there would be restrictions in trade. There will be a lot of tap dancing to try to keep the playing fields more on a level that could be dealt with using diplomatic measures.

NATO will support them as long as they produce 2 things -cheap goods and labor from china and as for russia oil and gas -I believe russia could very well be a friend to the west -even with all the deep cold war wounds still healing but more than just handshakes between leaders is needed -real partnership and friendship could accomplish great things for the world in the future and I think that we have to show some trust before russia will show it being that we have Superpower status right now and they are trying to rebuild their nation after the cold war

It really doesn't matter NATO can do nothing to stop China from becoming a super power. China already is a superpower. China has 1.3 billion people the highest population in the world. They are very productive and becoming modernized. The US owes China over $1,000,000,000,000.

What are they going to do about it? As long as people in the USA and Europe have no problem with buying cheap (and dangerous) goods made in China, we'll all basically be paying for the growing power.

nATO is corrupt and ran by Zionist and Zionist lackeys- The same Zionists fear China as they can't infiltrate it like the west.
they want the goy in the west to fear and hate China- it is a big part of what Zionist Alex Jones does.
In Fact China could a be good ally against Zionism and will easily co-exist with western civilization without treacherous Zionism poisoning relations.

Well China is a superpower now, they have one of the largest military forces in the world, they have nuclear weapons, and have a very rapid growing economy.

There's not going to be much they can do to stop China from becoming powerful short of nuclear war and no one is going to want that.
Hopefully China will get better government soon.
