Bardock42 is a whimpering pussy now who lost his flare to debate vigorously and just spouts senseless and thinly veiled puns here and there. You nazi pr*ck. Get your balls back from whoever you sold them to, you fat f*ck. What happened to the manly, chubby German big mouth we once knew, who'd flatten ignorance with a solid argument? Now it's like Andy Dick meets John Candy. You hybrid beefcake. Suck my c*ck
We do not need China. Fact is China is becoming the next superpower and we are making it happen. Many say it's inevitable, it isn't. Quit trading with them and their economy tanks. Ours will too, but we will recover faster.

If China wasn't such a "up your ass" government, I wouldn't care if they ruled the world. As long as American stays around where it is, it shouldn't matter. I'd just have to learn Cantonese.
Chinese business men already have to learn english to be successful
I don't think it is going anywhere. That there are twice as many english words as the next largest language may assist this. If anything we will see an "Cantonese-ization" of english.

You could end up with a system like England (and all those other places that I refuse to name because you damn well know what I mean) had where those in power spoke one language and lower classes spoke another. Languages other than Cantonese could end being displaced if China becomes a dominant global power.

it just makes me laugh when I hear business students talk about how important it is going to be for them to know Asian languages. Look at the Japanese example, they had to learn English to participate in the market as it existed as opposed to American CEOs having to learn Japanese. (though, I obviously see the advantage of a person doing business in China learning the language).

Since I work in IT and computer technologies are one of the fastest growing sectors in china, I will have plenty of job opps over there. Couple that with how "shit our pants over everything" China is, and, presto, I have plenty of opportunity abroad.
I am not even effin' going to attempts to learn the dozens of dialects in india. F*** dat shit.
I was going to learn Japanese just for shits and giggles, as well.

Well the advantage to learning a language is really more social than practical. It helps alleviate the image of uncouth or arrogant foreigners. My grandfather managed to order a meal in Japan by walking over to a table and asking "Sumimasen, kore desu ka." (Excuse me, what's that?) which was apparently amazing enough that they helped him order a meal.
Also, they can't hide their evil yellow plans behind moonspeak if you know the language

They're becoming stronger, so we'll stop trading with them in order to beat them to the ground - God bless America.
Seriously, pick up anything in your house, including your computer and see where it is made.
Stop trading with China....ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

So some slanty-eyed students laughed, how is this a [valid] story about the "weak" American dollar? Considering American sneezes financially, and the rest of the world gets flu-like symptoms.
China is decades away from becoming the Super-Power and it's Government is still investing in the US, me thinks they're better informed than those college students. A lot can happen in decades, pro or against the Chinese.

Overpopulation is seriously gimping their progress, so it's possible they may not be as number-savvy as the stereotype would lead us to believe. Just saying.
Then again, in an all out nuclear-war, there's a better chance that they'll be at least one last Chinaman standing, ergo, winning the war.Maybe Mao was on to something when he orders his minions to pump-away.
