I see an economic diasater coming...

...An elite class will evolve in China who will control who and when people get paid.  The trickle down process will be initiated and those not getting wet will resort to crime in order to survive. ...

There are already Tongs in China.  The Mexicans have the drug cartels, along with the Colombians.  The Italians have the Mob and organized crime extensions in the States.  The Russians have the Blatnoi(Russian Mafia). 
We have politicans.  Anything new, here?  No.
This type of living always catches up whoever thinks they can get away with it.  Stupid, really.

... The rise to the top is not paved with gold.  It is paved with broken lives. 

There is no long lasting 'top'.  Hitler should have finally realized that.  The same will happen with China and North Korea.  It's only a matter of time.

Welcome to the military industrial complex China.

I don't think the Chinese are smart enough, on their own, to compete with us.  They need to steal what they want.  The Russians, too.  However, I believe, American politicans are responsible for some of the deleterious decisions made to not stop some of the advanced technology transfer to outside interests that don't have our well-being at heart.
