After watching the amazing job China did of hosting the 2008 Olympics, do you feel a bit intimidated by them?

Especially the Opening ceremonies - it was an awesome display of what Chinese manpower can do.

And, considering China’s population (1,320,000,000) is over 4X that of the USA coupled with their growing economic power, do you feel at all intimidated by the nation of China?

No, not really.
Impressed is a better word, I was very impressed. I’m also impressed at HOW they use their power. They’re the wealthiest and strongest in the world, but you don’t see them invading and bullying other countries around, which they could do with their pinky
They DID set the bar so high that I’d **** to be in London’s shoes in 2012 lol. They’re probably like whey didn’t we get 2004! They spent $40 BILLION and had 1 million volunteers! WOW is all I can say!
Well, I am Chinese American, so no. I hope others aren’t intimidate because on a purely selfish level, life would **** for us Chinese Americans if the west becomes too fearful of China. On a non-selfish level, it would be bad for both countries to have another Cold War.
I live by the southern border of the US, I’m more scared of Mexico than China.
I’m more intimidated by a nation who invades other nations based on groundless accusation. The great show put on by China in the Olympics is fine by me.
I thought the drum segment was awesome too. But in real war, the number of people is not as important as it was in the old days when the army’s strength decides who would win. Now planes and bombs decide who would win.
Besides, China is not in the business of invading other countries and changing their presidents. They’re not that arrogant to tell other countries what to do, and how they should behave.
Not at all. I still believe they used under age athletes.
no..but the opening ceremony was the best so far.
Modern warfare is fought on the economy, not militarily (unless you’re a middle eastern country sitting on deep rich oil fields). China improving will only push the Americans to work harder instead of sitting on their a**es and singing all day about how they are the best etc.
i am shaking
I was a little skeptical of the chinese before this. But after seeing the olympics they put on, im impressed and feel great for china. They have waited so long for this and did not let the world down. Possibly the best olympics of all time and the openess of the chinese people really gave me hope for this world. congrats china!
I don’t think any country should feel intimidated by China, after all it has been decades they sustained such strong growth, and with their rich culture, there is no surprise they could do such marvellous job.
I rather think it is very encouraging for all the other developing nations…
Don’t forget only 32 years ago China was a hermit communist country like North Korea, and was as poor as Sub Sahara countries, but look at them today!
I’m more scared that certain countries can contain such immature judgmental lying whiny crybabies such as SkyeR who answers every question regardless of content with an immature whiny lying stab at American out of pure jealousy and hatred for a better country.
That type of petty ignorance is scary.
amazing ?
whats amazing?
we are amazed on how could they lied infront of the world as they done!
lets recall what they said when they were bidding for the host, and what they said after they got the host?
every host of the olympic can always find something new and interesting to show, i bet next olympic in UK will look even better, then next next olympic host will find something even more interesting, so on…
china can amaze the world even more, if she did what she promised, but she did not!
so i would said, she wasn’t done any amazing job being a host this time *at all*
she got the host just to show the world how stupid we are giving trust on them hoping that they would at lease do what she voluntary her self said it!
now the world has learned to trust or distrust the communist chinese.
No. They can’t even provide clean drinking water to their people. According to humanitarian sites, 1/4 of China’s people don;t have access to clean drinking water.
Intimidating countries might include Russia, Japan, Israel. China is still not even on the radar. China is about on par with India, Pakistan, Venezuela as far as intimidation goes. Like a fly on the windshield.
No they don’t bully other countries … they just bully their own people and force them to participate in sports…. they also bully their people to work for the govt .. nothing China dose is impressive because they have no free will … Communism *****!
I am more intimidated by a country that feels they must have there nose in any political arena that takes place(like putting our 2 cents in about the Georgia/Russia altercation. That country- is my country. USA.
We need to drop the war monger mentality in the government, and start spending America’s tax dollars on getting America back up to normal standards with education, transportation, and health care issues.
Why would anyone get intimidated.
Those who puts down other countries are the rotten of society, where just like rotten things, they will soon be left behind and thrown away by the society.
In this new world, all must work together. We need to work together to gain greater achievements.
The ones who put down other countries are the ones who are lying. Lying to themselves, trying to create a illusion to cover the truth. China had became a powerful country in few decades, and the Olympic had only made it stronger. It had strengthen the moral of 1.3 billion people.
It’s not China itself that is intimidating, but the hunger of multinational, globalized economies to cut costs and stay competitive.
China has cheap labor by sheer numbers in the population, so even without consciously bidding for jobs, Western corporations with greedy CEO’s who will do anything to boost the bottom line on their quarterly report and justify an annual bonus for themselves will offshore jobs to China to make the financial numbers look good, making their share numbers rise.
The display of readily available manpower therefore, is a bit intimidating in what it indirectly symbolizes to the loss of American jobs. Combined that with the fact that a huge chunk of our national debt is in China all adds to a type of uneasy feeling that has nothing to do with military might, and all to do with financial disparity.
