Preamble: 

In the last few weeks it has reported that foreign spies have invaded government computers systems in Canada, USA, UK, Germany and NZ. The finger is being pointed at China for these incidents. Chinese hackers are amongst the best in the world if not the leaders in cyber crime.

Body: 

NZ reports that hard to detect programs were installed on government computer systems and they reported that some departments were not aware their security had been breached until alarms were raised in other departments.

This is of grave concern to the world market although it has been largely underplayed in the media. Nothing goes out of China over the cyber waves that the Chinese Government doesn't sanction or is aware of. So does that mean that the breaches originated or were sanctioned by the Chinese rulers?

At the same time in the last week millions of alarming spam emails and messages have been posted worldwide, especially on myspace bulletin boards and facebook boards warning of an imminent invasion by China's Peoples army.

This could have originated as a joke in light of the spying claims by the various governments and is easily dismissed as so or it could be much more serious and actually be the forewarnings of movement upon the world market by China. It is quite alarming to open up ones inbox in the morning to find ten out of thirty emails all "dire warnings about China". (into deleted items with a yawn and off to make a cup of tea)

China is in trouble. Its economy is one of the strongest in the world today but its people are amongst the poorest, especially in rural areas. The price of world dominance in the industrial market has come at great cost to the Chinese people and the environment. Lax industrial pollution laws have resulted in many areas being highly contaminated with toxic by products of industry. Waterways are polluted, farm lands are contaminated along with forests river systems destroyed, which cause drought and flooding to the country. China has raped its land without thought or care for future generations.

China has grown richer of the backs of western consumers as it grows into the largest electronic manufacturing nation in the world. Western countries are reliant almost totally on their electrical products being imported from China and the money pours into the Chinese coffers by the hour. As everything is ultimately owned by the Government in China, its the country itself and the ruling party which is getting richer. Large land acquisitions in many countries along with bulk share holdings in major western companies show China has a strong foot in the door stance facing the world.

The country's one child policy with leanings towards boy children have ensured China will have a ready made foot army for many decades to come. When these sons get to marrying age they are going to find a severe shortage of Chinese women to marry.

Along with the millions upon millions of ready and highly trained foot soldiers, China has nuclear capabilities and a strong air force backing. China does lack in Navy and shipping activities but they own enough tankers and merchant ships that can be readily converted into a war machine if needed. The technological capability of the country is awesome to say the least, China kept very quiet recently over the testing of it's anti satellite missile. Just what secret technologies do China hold that we don't know about.

In the years to come China's cost with contamination will leave many areas of the country barren and poisoned along with most of the water systems. Disease, which is rife in rural areas now will grow. If there is an outbreak of human to human transmission of Bird Flu the country will be devastated. China has long been criticized in using valuable human anti viral medication on it's infected poultry stock, which could further mutate strains of bird flu and render the current anti-virals useless as their use on the poultry causes the strains to become immune to the medication.

AIDS is on the increase in China, rapidly because as the government does not advocate sex, it advocates sex education even less so.

China has an over population, an oversupply of males, barren land and not enough arable usable land, no room to grow, drained the land of natural resources, left the land contaminated and polluted, water supply is polluted, disease is spreading, there is a stockpile of western money, an economy without foreign debt, large foreign ownership, a huge foot army hanging around getting stronger and more bored, and a country that is not impresses with western society and the current "world leaders" the USA..... If you were China what would be your next move....?
