Chineese are winning at what?  Is their population going to be more healthy happier or wiser.  I seriously doubt it.  They are just the newest nation of slaves to be exploited.  They are going to chase the golden ring that the master is going to sew into their nose.  A subsistance farmer has to work maybe 5hours on average a day.  How many hours a day are the chineese slaves working in the industrial sweatshops.  How much increase in lung cancer from smelting operations running with zero enviromental discharge restraints will the chineese experience.  Who will feed the workers as rice paddies are mowed under for urban sprawl.  In florida where I now live there use to be orange groves for miles on end.  There was a tower which was maybe 50 or 60 feet tall.  (This is real tall for florida because it is basically flat)  From up there back in the 70's the only thing one could see was orange groves and one highway snaking through it in all directions.  Now it is just asphalt.  Some on the ground and some on the roofs.  I am not one to stand in the way of progress as long as you know where are heading.

Made in USA and Made in CHina are not what they were 20 years ago. Cars made in USA are already at the bottom end of the quality range globally.
I see the whole picture flipping before we've completed another 20 years. China will be hiring USA workers to do their dirty work. Manufacturing clothes, growing food, and easier medium to easy assembly. The US$ is now artificially being kept high, by huge loans against low interests. Tis will not last forever, and the inherent value of the currency will sink when the loans stop to keep it afloat. The loans now support the dollar going in as well as out. CHina has done everything over the past year to keep their Yuan low enough for the US to keep buying their goods. When the US loses buying power, and China can focus on other markets, the dollar is in trouble.

...An elite class will evolve in China who will control who and when people get paid.  The trickle down process will be initiated and those not getting wet will resort to crime in order to survive. ...

There are already Tongs in China.  The Mexicans have the drug cartels, along with the Colombians.  The Italians have the Mob and organized crime extensions in the States.  The Russians have the Blatnoi(Russian Mafia). 
We have politicans.  Anything new, here?  No.
This type of living always catches up whoever thinks they can get away with it.  Stupid, really.

... The rise to the top is not paved with gold.  It is paved with broken lives. 

There is no long lasting 'top'.  Hitler should have finally realized that.  The same will happen with China and North Korea.  It's only a matter of time.

Welcome to the military industrial complex China.

I don't think the Chinese are smart enough, on their own, to compete with us.  They need to steal what they want.  The Russians, too.  However, I believe, American politicans are responsible for some of the deleterious decisions made to not stop some of the advanced technology transfer to outside interests that don't have our well-being at heart.
