Presidential Election or Chinese C.P.Meeting, Which Will Prove More Significant?

[mongers]

Next week sees the US Presidential election and election for House and some Senate seats, so will this general election prove more important historically, than the special meeting of the Chinese communist party which has just started, where they'll choose new leaders, retire others and perhaps set the course for China for the next 10 years.

How do you see events following from both 'elections' ?

I suspect the results of the Chinese meeting are a foregone conclusion.

I suspect the results of the Chinese meeting are a foregone conclusion.

Ditto, it's already decided.

Which wasn't the question.

The question isn't which one is most in doubt, but which one has the biggest impact on the next 10 years.

Given what seems to be going on in China right now, I don't think everything is quiet settled yet. The Wen Jiabao 2.2B thing shows the struggle isn't over quite yet.

My erections.

My guess would be China, based on:

- Issues of greater seriousness to be worked upon in China than in the USA
- Possibly wider divergence of opinion between Chinese oligarchic elites on how to approach those issues, than between Romney and Obama

all chinese leaders look the same to me

My guess would be China, based on:

- Issues of greater seriousness to be worked upon in China than in the USA
- Possibly wider divergence of opinion between Chinese oligarchic elites on how to approach those issues, than between Romney and Obama

Translation:  the Chinese will solve their problems much more quickly and more efficiently than we will.

Or their power struggles will spiral out of control and the CPC dynasty will fall amidst blood and chaos, to your and Ed Anger's amusement.

[Eddie Teach]

Why single them out, I think the forum in general will get a real kick out of watching that.

[Ed Anger]

I doubt jake knows what I'd do.

Isn't that the sad truth. And the same thing could be said for the UK.


I've even got a suspicion that the Eurozone might get their shit together before us even.

Based on previous performance, I expect there to be posts on languish about your murder boners. That is all.
