Brand new space station under construction.

And look here, China has successfully landed on Mars.

As for the South China Sea, except for Vietnam's 200 mile conflict (and ignoring the Taiwan issue) China does actually have quite a bit within it's 200 mile.

China's game plan is clearly control of resources.

It's our own fault. Too many here don't want to work. Too many don't want to pay their share of taxes to support infrastructure and groundbreaking endeavors. Too many don't support funding of education for the next generation. Too many want to retire at 50 and provide no further contribution to production other than churning the stock market. Too much emphasis on corporate bottom line at ultimate expense of our production capability...steel, autos, electronics.

It's a global economy and we have become a bunch of self centered, cheap, lazy asses. So I guess we deserve what we get.

The government has so much money coming into it, we could take care of our infrastructural woes if we wanted to, but the people we elect instead send the money to other countries or instead spend it on transexual education here in the US.

Too many fucking pet projects, not enough practical shit.

Glock's answer demonstrates our problem precisely....stagnation and blockading of true innovation and productivity as leverage to get "my" way. Both "sides" guilty. But bitching about it doesn't solve the problem. I certainly don't have the solution either, but other countries seem to be outperforming us in many regards. Maybe our past success (not ours, but that of the generations before us) has led to an unrealistic inflated sense of ego and self worth.

I just want to fuck Chinese girls. They're hot. I also like Chinese porn, because the dudes always have small to average sized cocks. I don't like to watch some dude with a 9 inch schlong brutally fuck a bitch. That doesn't get my dick hard. America is a gay place. Everyone worships big schlongs apparently. Bunch of gay faggots. Why is porn so fucked up? Most of it is disturbing but I watch it anyway, because you don't really know what you're going to see until you watch it. You just see a thumbnail of some huge tits and you click it.
