You need to work on your reading comprehension. No where in my comment did I say or insintuate China doesn't have corruption. The reality is corruption exists in all countries to a certain degree. The difference is China is advancing forward on the global stage at an unprecedented rate while actually fighting corruption in-house. That Xi Jinping fella is running a tight ship and showing the leadership of a competent leader. The Philippines? Quite the opposite.
China doesn't have time to waste on these irrelevant, neighboring countries who are only good for whining. They have their mind set on a bigger prize: world number one. In other words, China is playing chess while the rest are playing checkers.
Your comment DID insinuate that somehow Philippines is in the current situation vis-a-vis China because of its corrupt politicians. As for Philippines going in the 'opposite' direction of China; you probably live in some fantasy land since Philippines seems to be doing pretty well, always room for improvement. Not that I'm a Filipino, so dissing Philippines won't really get you anywhere with me.
I would argue that it is China who is playing checkers while the Americans play chess.
OMG are you really that stupid?
What a complete and utter noob thinking the Americans defeated the Soviet Union. Americans sure did a great job in brainwashing you kid.
Soviet Union collapsed because its economy was run by the state. A 100% state-run economy will always get into trouble if there is no private sector to back it up during economic downturns. Soviet factor prices were set by the state and when they tried to reform its economy by giving markets a say, it didn't free up factor prices which was still set by the state and led to companies cutting back on production to make a profit. To make profits, the state companies cut production which led to high unemployment and high inflation. It was a vicious cycle where if you increased production, you made losses, but the only way to make a profit was to cut production which decimated the economy. The state companies were not allowed to charge market price, the prices were determined by the state.
It had nothing to do with the Americans and certainly nothing to do with military spending.
Answer me this.....
Whats stopping the Americans getting into a war with China, if the Americans are not afraid?
Go on, I'll wait for your detailed explanation.
You do realize how stupid of a post that was right? The entire Cold War between Soviet Union and the United States was of Communism vs Capitalism. Americans (Capitalism) won and Soviets (Communism) LOST.. which is why your lovely China today pays lip service to Communism but runs the country American style. Even your communist leadership realizes that their own ideology of Communism is impractical and being smarter than you are, they run the country's economics Capitalist style but unfortunately they run the politics brutal communist style.
