It's quite funny how times change, for thousands of years technology shifted from the east to the west. One of the primary reasons that Chinese innovation was stifled was thanks to Western incursion in the 18th and 19th century. As I've mentioned in another post elsewhere – as China continues to industrialise, they will continue to move towards through the same process that South Korea, Taiwan and Japan went through towards a middle-class society that relies on industry rather than purely on agriculture. Eventually after that they will be moving towards research and development, which they are already doing in certain areas such as solar energy. I wouldn't be worried about the collapse of China – the continuing collapse of the US is a far greater, and far more worrying threat. There is minuscule chance of collapse of China industry just due to easy and cheap availability of resources..US is huge trouble now.. This post has been edited by TravisDoney: 2 Apr 2014, 18:02 |

Silly China, they should move on to zero-point energy and antimatter reactors.

After reading all this I think that the the best energy source is Nuclear Fusion, and the best way to go for the helium-3 idea, is to leave it where it is. And it also pisses me off how much every country depends on cheap labor to keep economy decent, like Australia, we have the raw materials (iron ore, natural gas, shitty oil, tonnes of uranium) and we ship it ALL overseas to be processed, then we buy it ALL back, for triple the price. Funny thing is, no country is independent anymore, I think they should be, but then governments pull the 'international relations' thing, which isn't anything, all it is, is a ticket in and out of a country.

Moral of the story: The World is Corrupt. The Brazil as well as Australia also holds large mineral reserves and other important natural resources, and here things are not too different. It is curious that in Brazil for example there is a 'monopoly of niobium' (98% of all reservations of this rare superconductor) and this strategic resource does not ensure the projection of Brazil as a superpower; if we invested more in the domestic market of the aerospace and electronics industry we would have a higher consumption potential that would bring greater competitiveness for the country, more jobs and a significant reduction in the final cost of electronics devices, would we do with the other countries to respect us more and our economy today could be at least the third or fourth largest in the world. But as the old adage says: "who is born to be a wolf will always be a wolf, this is its true nature..." peoples, societys and countries are often treated as 'sheeps' in international relations as the 'wolves' predate on to live in abundance, this is the real moral of the story. -------------------- You already imagined how would be SAP in the ROTR's universe?
