The poor Chinese. Saddled with a loser hippy political system since 1949 they're now jumping on the capitalism bandwagon just as the fuel to run capitalism - oil - runs out. Okay, the successor political system will be free-market and localised, but it's only those of us that have been brought up with capitalism that will survive to thrive in it. Meanwhile the Chinese still get it wrong. Latest plans, in addition to opening one coal-fired power station every WEEK (Peak Coal anyone?), include opening 108 new AIRPORTS (LOL!) by 2010. How big a waste of resources is that? How are the Chinese ever going to be able to run aeroplanes when oil runs out? With coal? What a joke ...

Don't invest in China. They are the world's first one-day superpower!
