In response to "They can't act and talk like they want to be an influential world power and then not help out when disaster strikes. " by Krusty

Sure they can.

Because they obviously are.

What are we going to do, stop buying stuff from China or borrowing money from them now? Right...

Responses:

They won't have any influence without doing the things that world powers do. There's more to it than just selling a lot of goods. - Krusty Nov 17, 05:45 5
- Think about how America reacts to "the rest of the world thinks this is ridiculous." - mafic Nov 17, 07:36
- Sure they will. A lot of economies around the world rely on China buying their stuff, and there aren't many countries with more military power. - Roger More Nov 17, 06:13 3
  - I disagree. The Philippines won't be buying anything from them now. - Krusty Nov 17, 06:52 2
    - China's influence doesn't come from what it sells, it comes from what it buys. - Roger More Nov 17, 07:32 1
      - And democracy aside; growth in the region is effectively tied to China. - mafic Nov 17, 07:52
