We'll know when China has taken over the world when every thread on Boards is spam.

Nah, China hasn't been worth sh*t since Bruce Lee defected to the US. They are puny mortals now.

No, their economy is too reliant on low cost manufacturing, their society has many ethnic tensions and their political system is straining under the weight of systemic corruption.

Simple answer No. Reason list A. 1- Europe 2- Russia 3- U.S.A. This can be expanded on to make a million reasons why china currently is unable to in anyway willingly take over the Globe.

No and what country has ever taken over the world? Because I have no recollection of it.

No, they wouldn't be capable.

I have dealings with Chinese manufacturing companies on a daily basis and I find the engineers to be incompetent and not able to problem solve.

Not the whole world. Only the bits that have resources useful to them, and then only if it's easy pickings as it currently is in Africa. So Ireland is quite safe, then.

Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

Yes, I reckon their new aircraft carrier will spend a lot of its time off the coast of Africa.

Yes they will, they probably have already.

If the Euro goes pear shaped, they will be our new masters.

They are the ones with the funds and n0-one repeat n0-one can compete with them.

Grats, you're a meme-parrot.
When you develop a personality let us know if you think the Chinese are taking over the world.

No.

China has a monster of a real estate bubble.

When that thing goes, it will be interesting to see the fallout.

Really?
You sure they didn't have a slanted view on things?

Honestly.. it's the 90's on this forum, there are plenty of modern, relevant things to make fun of China with.

But then of course you'd have to think of them yourselves. :mad:

I pissed myself laughing reading this as a "non-joke" after all the lame replies.
