  1. The recent lost of Tito Ortiz to Evans was so devastating - A knee to the solar plexus!!! The first time I felt terrible for Ortiz, I think he has done enough for the sports and its high time to hang his gears... or he should re-invent his fighting style/skills ala Randy Couture...

     

    You're right master. But the graceful style of Couture is not easy to imitate unless you have more or less the same body frame.

  2. The only category where China can dominate is population. But even that can be overtaken by India soon.

     

    China is the main producer of wheat and rice, with the U.S. no. 1 in soybeans, etc. The problem is that much of mechanized agriculture is heavily dependent on oil, phosphates, etc. In addition, China, the U.S., and other countries are experiencing problems like topsoil destruction due to extended droughts and floods.

     

    The bad news is that much of the U.S. economy, which is based heavily on borrowing and spending and incredible demands for various resources, esp. oil, is now falling apart. That is why prices for various food products in the U.S. and elsewhere are going up.

     

    Chinese agri products are just enough for Chinese consumption so they rarely export them. If American companies in china close down, china will become one of the poorest countries in the world

     

    does it mean another country can overtake the influence of American brands and products like Nike, starbucks, Walmart, guess, to name a few? which country can match the food production of the US?

     

    China of course. But not in terms of exports
