Will China Take Over the World?

Name: Anonymous 2007-07-25 23:28 ID:jXjWBTm2

As far as I can tell, the Chinese are never assimilated by other cultures, but the other way around.

Consider: 

The Mongols killed as many Chinese as possible, and took over their empire.  About 50 years later, the conquerors are speaking Chinese, writing Chinese, and can barely ride a horse anymore.
 
The Manchu, a completely distinct people with unrelated languages, dress, religion come and conquered China again.  Today, even the Chinese can't tell between Manchurians and Han Chinese. 

Every civilization around China, even without direct contact has been heavily influenced.

Now, as more Chinese head overseas into foreign communities, forming tight, isolate packs amongst themselves, could it be possible that they will exert a large cultural influence over us?  They are within us, spreading their beliefs and way of thought, I'd even bet a good part of 4chan is Chinese-American.

Will one day, the world around us, the Internet, the signs on the streets be half in Chinese?  Will we adopt Chinese customs and ways?  Or will we RESIST?

Discuss.

It's amazing how Westerners are terrified about a Chinkworld, whereas converting everybody to "Jeebus and His Almighty Dollar" is perfectly OK with them.  Hypocrisy, much?

At any rate, the West is collapsing into the mire of its own greed.  Learn to speak Mandarin and you'll probably make out (with hot Chinkchiks, too).  Keep speaking Amenglish instead and soon enough you won't be able to converse with any of the Spanish-speaking clerks in your city.  The route of loss is YOURS to choose!
