Opinion of China & Opinion of The United States (Information from PewResearch Global Attitudes Project) 1. Japanese dislike China the most. 2. The percentage of Chinese who dislike China is even higher than the percentage of Pakistan. Definitely true love from Pakistanis... 3. Filipinos love US the most. Guess it's true love, too.     I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight. ---- Rabindranath Tagore |

The wealthy in the US have massive volumes of money and it translates into many levels of power. I think if the US is pushed to the limits by any acts against it, it will prove to be an amazing thing as to how quickly it can ramp up and put its forces to actions. I think in many ways, we are at the edge of a 'change", we are deeply into the information age, and not unlike the technical age, or the industrial age before it. The steps that come after the "Information Age", is one which then puts "Information to use". We already see it in the advances in robotics, and other areas where high tech and information has merged into a budding new era. On the Stage of Nations among Nations. Transition from one age to the next is a very big matter, and its a 25+ yrs transition. We are at a time when new energy will dominate the spectrum, and the new uses of technology and information will dramatically change things. Take for instance, the first level we visibly see. "Drones", they are a combination of Information and Technology, put to work in a robotic system. thus yielding the "drones". The Space sector now has practically abandoned the old "shuttle" technology, and now have the same things in an advanced states, which can stay in orbit indefinitely as an UN-manned Unit. This is a marriage of Information and Technology, in a robot format. We have to understand what and where we are headed as a society in these regards, to understand how and what changes in the industrial and economic landscapes of our respective nations. China is on the wagon with these changes, but it still has a lot of work to do in uplifting and bringing along many in the rural areas due to the vast size of its population, The US has similar challenges, but it function much different in that it will move ahead and it will be up to the poorer sections in the nation to run fast to catch up. We have to see the big picture of what is in the works.. We currently can't imagine what will exist in the next 25 yrs. But, it will certainly be trans-formative.

but if people get into a madness of " My Country is better than Your Country", then they may find many differences to occupy their situations of exchanges. This is not my intention. Probably different person sees different things through the charts. We don't see China stepping up or standing up to any of the terror things outside of China, it simply does not spend to promote world peace. Dont be subjective. China just didn't send its troops to Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan. China did send troops to join the UN peace-keeping force on UN peace-keeping missions around the world. This is a good thing being part of the UN. What I'm speaking of, is being a dominantly "OUTSPOKEN" power against the terrorist activity. We as a world would have more power to stamp out Muslim Terrorism which is a global madness which causes too much problems in every place there is a large or growing Muslim populations. If Russia and China team up with the West, to invest support and be proactive, in becoming "strongly outspoken and up front and center with its capibilities" and commit a fair share in the resources needed to fight and stand against these terrorist, We ( AS A WORLD SOCIETY OF PEACE LOVING PEOPLE) would be able to wipe it out with better over-all efficiency.

All countries have some political feuding or world policies that are unpopular including China but I would never consider disliking a country or its people based on politics. Quite right. They are two concepts. Disliking a country doesn't mean to dislike its people. Besides, the world is well aware as are the people of China, that the Chinese government controls the media. The world has a wrong impression that all Chinese people are fooled by their government's media. As a matter of fact, English is a main subject that all Chinese students have had to learn since they entered the primary school, some even started to learn from kindergarden. The whole learning process is throughout their school life until they graduated from university. If you can't pass CET4 (an English test for university students), you can't even obtain the bachlor's degree. That means, even if they are not proficient in English, but as educated persons, many Chinese people have the basic ability to read and understand English news from froeign media. Yes, we are not allowed to visit facebook, twitter and youtube, but the government never forbid us to visit CNN, BBC and so on! We know both what our government told us and what the world thinks about a certain matter. On the contrary, as a foreigner can you read Chinese? Can you get the both different opinions that from your media and from Chinese media when the matter is related to China? If you don't know Chinese, what you get is your government told you in essence. Besides, for those Chinese people who do want to visit facebook, twitter and youtube..., they can access the websites through proxy servers. It's an open secret and not hard to achieve technically. As for me I can access these websites easily. Therefore, apparently the problem is not that Chinese people don't know the world well, but the world doesn't know China. People in general regardless of where they are from, even if their nation is wealthy or poor, they have their pride in the lands they hail from. The matter is with Individuals, "what does the individual convey in their communications and exchanges". If it is 'congeniality", then people will possibly treat them with "congeniality". but if people get into a madness of " My Country is better than Your Country", then they may find many differences to occupy their situations of exchanges. Today, many people think about "Peace", both those with money and those without money. But at what "Price for Peace", becomes a matter than many weigh by many means. money makes Nations and People do many things, there is always the pursuit for more, and even once more is attained it is not enough, because when people get more money than they actually can expend, then they seek " The Power to Influence'. Individuals, do so, and Nations do so. It is up to individuals to come to terms with their realities as individuals.

I think when it comes to 'Help" what type of help nations receive, matters much to these nation. If you not when tragedy happens or in general contribution to various programs in various countries. China is not at a point and maybe not at a level to offer the type of help and assistance the United States has offered to many countries for decades. It become of great importance to countries to have Western Alliance, when western countries continue to pump in multi millions of dollars into their country through various channels. China on the other hand does not have this type of relationship to this degree. It may over spend and over support the one country that the rest have opposition against, and that is N. Korea. People don't dislike the N. Korean people, they dislike the N. Korean Leadership and the tragedy it does to its people. China is more hardline than many western nation, in the fact it does not play games with people once they deem them to be criminal, or damaging to the nation or the people. They will 'execute them and keep moving". Western nations on the other hand, play games of 'appeals", until many (if) they are very wealthy get off with a slap on the wrist and get to keep the money they stole, looted, or cheated the people of. China also has a more keen eye of resources with regards to its neighbors, where as Western Nation may see resources, but they care deeply about the strategic importance it is to have friend nations in various locations about the globe. We don't see China stepping up or standing up to any of the terror things outside of China, it simply does not spend to promote world peace. It does however want to be the Go To nations when peace keeping nations need 9 to purchase) supplies. It is unlikely that China as a nation will ever be like the Western Nation in regard to supporting World Peace by efforts and investments and speaking up and speaking out. They don't send troops any place to help out with fighting Terrorism. But as we continue to see. Muslim Terrorism is finding its ways to expand in China, and because China does not fight it outside its borders, its a direct invitation for Muslim terrorist to find their ways into China. When the US Made Agreements to buy Fish and Shrimp from Viet Nam, China stepped up its means to circumvent quota's, so as to put a big dent in the Fish and Shrimp from Viet Nam. These type of things will never endear the neighbors to China under these type of methods and actions by China. The continual push to claim lands, and push havoc if they can't just claim it, has enraged many of its neighbors. it will continue to enrage the neighbors as longs as China continues its efforts to try and claim these various lands. It is not a good thing for China to have gain some much Capitalist Mentality So quickly, because it has become arrogantly aggressive when it comes to dealing with the International Community. But this should have been expected, for a nation that closed its doors for so many decades, it became self centered in its focus, and that will take decades to change if it ever changes.
