Harvard historian Niall Ferguson warns that the greatest danger of the current financial crisis could be the possible collapse of economic relations between China and America.

-----

Professor and historian Niall Ferguson asks what the ramifications of the subprime crisis will be in the realm of grand strategy and politics.

Is this an historical turning point, marking a decisive shift in financial power from West to East? Or are rumours of the death of the dollar and the decline of American empire exaggerated? - Hoover Institution

Niall Ferguson, MA, D.Phil., is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University. He is a resident faculty member of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. He is also a Senior Research Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford University, and a Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

    In 2006, I went to a monthly training course organized by Chinese customes officers. they warn all importers the danger to have US as the main market. there r also international exhibitions organized by Chinese officials to go to Eu, middle East, Afrcia, South America, ect. they may suffer a loss because US close their doors, but i am sure they will survive since they r prepared.

  • China is now scared ...

    China is now scared shitless because Americans are not buying their products anymore and 10,000 factories closed in China in Dec. China is 95% export dependent, but USA is only 25% export dependent so China is going to go into the toilet very quickly. China's $2 trillion in debt the U.S. owes is nothing - 1/6 of total U.S. GDP for ONE year. We can pay it off in 2 months if we want to.
