Thanks Bobcat,
We have pointed out all of Forbes' list with the exception of No. 1 in previous OPs about this topic. I don't recall anyone bringing that one up. As I've pointed out, the obsession with China seems to come from those who want to bring attention to themselves in a 'you heard it hear first' manner or who simply want someone to read their article. Military leaders have a vested interest in painting China with ominous overtones. Duh.
And then there are the religious who are keenly looking for the next King of the North. Economics is a very complicated topic; when your are considering global macroeconomic policy, application it becomes even more complicated. And when you consider socio-economic issues along with all of this it becomes mind numbingly complicated. That's why they give Nobel Prizes to economists who develop theories and models that work.
The Forbes article left out a lot of the details and some of the other major issues that we have briefly discussed in previous OPs about this, but it doesn't seem to stop the confirmationally biased amongst us from continuing to post nonsense. Well, it does seem to have slowed it down a bit. Thanks again.
