China's perception of the U.S...

What do you believe China's perception of the U.S. is?

I'm thinking more in terms of the people - not their government.

Ambivalent -- but are you asking how do the people there feel about the people here, or the people there feel about the government here?

Perception of the U.S. as a country.

Ambivalent. At the present time, we are a necessary evil because of our buying power. If they don't implode again, they will be challenging us for world supremacy within the next 20 years.

I watched a fasinating (I thought so) program on the history channel or discovery last week called 'tank man'. They certainly seem to be heading for a massive implosion.

That certainly does look interesting. Our local PBS station (Channel 8 on the ASU campus) also has a HD station. Some of their history/traveloge documentaries are excellent.

We have the HDPBS up here too. I love watching those shows in HD!

Just started yesterday.

I finished the introduction part (really cool so far what the photographer did to hide the film) - but I'm gonna have to watch the rest after I put the rugrats to sleep.

Apparently I'm interfering with their Dora the Explorer CD time...
