Containment-Lite

The main purpose of this article is that no one wants to be close with China right now or be neighborly because of the way they have been acting towards recent clients. Because we owe so much debt to china, they have a reason to be aggressive and angry towards us. But, if they at an instance demanded their money from us, I don't think that will go well between  our to countries from now on. Maybe people will be losing their jobs if/when this happens, because the government knows China could do a lot of damage to the United States.

The title "Containment Lite" means that China's neighbors are in no way prepared to protect themselves if China gets mad at them. Also, in a couple years China will have way more money then us and then can over power the United States as well as other countries.

Reflection:
i think that China wants to be able to defend themselves more than any other country so they have more power, even though they are currently doing this i do not agree with them being able to randomly demand their money from us.

Do you believe the hype

This article was about new developed companies and more useful technology in India. The people in India have used their knowledge to find a way to transfer and set up bank accounts onto your phones. This is great for everyone especially for the less fortunate because now their money will be given to them faster and more conveniently. However, it is a huge deal for someone to put all of there trust into someone else with all of there money when at any moment they could take everything and you would be left with no money whatsoever. This happens occasionally to individuals and is sometimes leads into identity theft.

Battle of the Billionaires, India vs. China

1. Who cares about how many people are in India. Why should I care?" Should we care?
Yes we should care about how many people are in India for many reasons. "Together, China and India currently contain nearly two out of every five people in the world." THATS A BIG DEAL! India's population is running very well and successful therefor there will be a rapid increase of population in the next decade and India may someday over power China's population.


2."It's wrong for governments to force families to have small families." Agree?
Yes i agree with this statement because i think anyone should be able to have as many kids as they want weather its one or six kids.  No one in their lifetime should be put a limit on how many children they have.
