I'm not suggesting that China is stronger than Japan now. It obviously isn't, but it probably will be, given the enormous disparity in population, and the great strides they have taken in recent years. John On Sun, 06 Nov 2005 20:34:35 -, Adam Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Japan has a

What are you saying? That if the Japanese think China will overtake them economically, Japan will go to war? I suppose anything is possible, but I rather doubt they'd do that. There has been no war in Western Europe for sixty years (the longest period of peace in European history).

It's certainly possible. But the same could be said of the USSR vs the US in 1980. And we know what happened. Given current trends, it's likely that the Chinese Economy is going to implode within the next 10-15 years, for the same reason the Soviet one did. But they still can get their act
