| #9 and any internal demand for the goods those factories produce? Internal demand requires internal purchasing power. China probably has tens of millions of people with the purchasing power of developed country consumers. But the developed countries (US, EU, Japan) have almost a billion of them. |

| #4 Even if the system crashes, they have the factories and the work force used to working, and we don't. Posted by Thing From Snowy Mountain We HAVE the factories! Just take Amtrak from Manassas, VA to Atlanta. It only travels about 35mph due to track conditions. Easy (but tearful) viewing. You'll see the backside of dozens of crumbling mills, factories, and businesses this time of year. Not so during the spring and summer months... as they are over grown with vegitation and hidden from view. Every Washington politician should make this journey. |

| #1 Too many massive oversized/capacity ships than needed, not enough trade goods. |
