Soros: Communist China Has ‘Better Functioning Government’ Than the U.S.

In accepting his Globalist of the Year award from the Canadian International Council Monday evening, billionaire and far-left political activist George Soros announced that China‘s grip on the global economy is getting tighter and compared the United States’ recent economic woes to the decline of the United Kingdom following World War II.
Because global economic power is shifting, Soros says China will need to change focus. “China has risen very rapidly by looking out for its own interests,” he said. “They have now got to accept responsibility for world order and the interests of other people as well,” The Globe and Mail reports.
“[The Chinese] have now got to accept responsibility for world order and the interests of other people as well,” he said. “Today, China has not only a more vigorous economy, but actually a better functioning government than the United States,” he said, condemning political gridlock on Capitol Hill for stalling U.S. economic reforms.
Looking forward, Mr. Soros said global governance is a pressing concern, but it is hard to implement. “Whereas globalization and deregulation spread like a virus, regulation is extremely difficult to achieve on an international scale,” he said.
“The world order as we know it is turning into disorder,” he added. At first “the G20 looked like the new central area of cooperation, and it actually did perform at the initial conference,” he said, “but ever since then opinions have been pulling it apart and in Seoul I think that process was taken a step further.”
Soros’ recently opened Institute for New Economic Thinking based in Cambridge, England, is just one of many ways the billionaire is spreading his own brand of economic thought.

Posted on November 16, 2010 at 5:46pmnewsflash Georgie – China is now the biggest threat to your precious new world order. Perhaps you should stop wasting your time on America’s economy and go pester them for a while. I’m sure they would be receptive to your ideas if you just sat down with them and discussed how you wanted to destroy them too.
Soros forgot the minor detail of China holding the majority of US debt. China is not going to lie down and watch you destroy the American economy – they stand to lose trillions if we go belly up. We have a VERY unlikely ally when it comes to fixing our economic problems .

Look at it this way, what would be the best way to deal a crippling strike at the two nations of USA and Chian than have a economic or true war between the two of them; and then come in to rebuild both for total control of their economies.
Remember only a handful of years ago India and Pakistan were undergoing tensions everyone expected to turn nuclear at any time. They figured 20 hiroshima sized weapons would lead over a year period after the exchange to nearly 60-80 million dead. Mostly from the government and economic structures of the two countries being ripped apart due to the chaos caused.
