I wonder.........since China has been the so called # 1 Economy for Thirteen of the last Sixteen Centuries....what can/should we do to attempt to keep our position as the top economy in the future. Any thoughts....... The economy in China is currently facing some pretty strong inflation. We are about to be hit with some interest payments to China that we can not meet...let alone sustain in the short term. My kids are learning to speak Mandarin ...( something about long term job security?.) Things that we get from China are getting more expensive every day. Now what.....Any scholars of macro-economics out there in TOTV land......... I just heard that the manufacturer of COACH purses is moving their Chinese manufacturing facilities to Vietnam and India because it is less expensive.
