What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The Chinese are not to be trusted and we should take this test as grave warning! We are arming one of the most dangerous regimes on the planet by shipping jobs over there so they can in turn make us cheap goods and drive our trade deficit into the hundreds of billions of dollars. We are digging our own grave people!!! The true enemy of this country isn't some rag tag bunch of Muslim nut jobs, it's a country that grows more economically every year than we do and has a blatant hatred for the west, which started as far back as the enlightenment! It just goes to show (as I read elsewhere on Newsvine) that monetary policy is more powerful than nationalism! Alea iacta est!!!
This is why I love the U.S. Marines. I asked a Marine friend of mine if the Chinese army, 2 million men strong, was intimidating. His response to me was, 'Na, that's just more of them for me to shoot at!'
God Bless the Corp
God Bless the U.S.A.

You are perfectly right, that China is one of the most dangerous regimes on the planet.
But the most dangerous regime on the planet is the Bush-regime.
Especially if many Americans agree with you. Which I do NOT think is the case.

Are people from Denmark allowed to comment on international politics? They shouldn't be.

I know plenty of Chinese people who don't hate the US. Actually, most Chinese quite like their American counterparts.
If the US is getting beat economically, doesn't that pretty much just mean we're losing in a battle of 'free trade'?
Sure, both sides do underhanded things, with currency manipulation, quotas, duties, taxation, etc. But being the economic and intellectual powerhouse that we are, we should be able to handle a country playing 100-year-catchup, right?

You call what is happening with China and the US free trade! lol Good stuff. Granted, if it wasn't for the greed of US business and our politicians we could fix this mess with lets say, the touch of a button, but lets not get too carried away.
It is inconsequential what the Chinese people think. Do you think that most Americans hate Iraqi civilians? Of course not. It is the policies of that giant red Communist dragon that bothers me.
You see, I am saying that they shouldn't be allowed to even attempt to catch up! There is a reason that the third world has been the third world for 60 years, why have we let China escape the torments of eternal development!?

That all depends on the metric that you use. Are they beating us in economic growth? You better bet it, but that's because they are a developing economy while ours is rather developed. It's a lot easier to grow fast from near nothing than it is to grow fast while you already dominate. Basically, the law of diminishing returns.
Our economy as measured by GDP per capita is sure beating theirs.
Though the free trade thing is interesting, because one of our prime exports, entertainment products such as dvds and cds are rather lost on the Chinese thanks to their robust bootlegging market. That's why almost every economic treaty we make with them contains something to do with cutting down on piracy in China.
You also can't underestimate what the shear economic power of a billion or so people are, even in a developing economy. Those numbers mean something.
