On: U.S. Is No. 1, China Is So Yesterday

[strebler]

This article is poorly written and researched, full of grandiose language & hyperbole with little to no justification. For example:

"China’s demography is a disaster ... by 2050, China will have lost one-third of its working-age population"

Grandiose hyperbole substantiated by the fact that in 35 years, people will be older!

"China’s politics are wrong"

"jobs will come home to the U.S...(due to) plentiful cheap energy from fracking"

No need to pander.

Loss of 1/3 working-age population is due to central family planning by chinese government.

Exactly what I'm talking about! Their one child policy has already been eased: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230328990...

Either a) the author knew this and didn't think such a major policy shift was worth addressing or b) was ignorant.

This is what I mean - the article was poorly written / researched. China has many problems, the article doesn't have any substance. It's divisive, and inaccurate in several key "facts".
