Also, although they own a lot of the debt of the western countries (mostly America) they gain all thier income and power from us buying all thier shit. If they rub the world wrong and loose out business they are sunk.
It's been said that america has lost direction and focus because they no longer have a Commie rival. All the western countries have become full of soft, debt-ridden, pleasure seeking people who think the world is all about rainbows and that everything will be fine if you just talk to people an "get out your message." Maybe a new challenger will light a fire under our asses and give us a reason to buckle down.
And lastly, joshaussie, you change your avatar more often than I change my underwear.

I agree with Noodle, but, correct me if I'm wrong, but America owes China alot of money.
