I guess minerals belongs to china and we don't have to right to tell them to share.Only thing can do is spend more time on investing in other locations

That's not the American Government's style to back off, instead what they do is impose useless wars on mineral/oil rich countries..

History proves it! Biggest example : Iraq (they said they have discovered chemical weapons and killed many innocent people just for O I L ) .

The NEWEST president goes to the WTO and you go into a spiel about how the US is going to war against the most industrial/Military state on the planet?

This isn't the Bush administration. Sure, Obama hypocritically committed acts of war in Lybia for a foreign civil war, but he isn't dumb enough to invade China....at least not in an election year. lol

But things really do need to change before they get ugly. China's practices are incredibly destructive and uncompetitive. No one is REALLY going to be happy if the US starts moving its business elsewhere. It would at least be a really rough transition.

China can't survive well without the US's business any more than the US can without China's business.
