Chinese economy is linked with US economy.. Chinese economy relies on export to US. if US economy collapses it will affect Chinese economy as well..
I doubt it. If it does it'll take the rest of the world with it. If they call in their US debts then it'll screw everyone. It show's no signs of slowing up - http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-01/26/content_793128.htm
Yes i agree, but China can always change it's market directions (trends?) and happily export stuff to countries of Third World. I admit that it's not as profittable, but it works.
China does not have the oil or the natural gas Russia has, Putin can shut down Europe at will by turning a switch, he has more power than China on the world stage. China is a massive manufacturing economy highly dependent on trade from the USA and like a drug dealer keeps an addict coming back, China must keep the USA hooked on buying their goods, so they will continue to finance our debt long term.
Look up who is in on ABN Amro Banking deals. Get an idea where US Dollar may not be worth holding on to?
