The history of Sino-American relations is hilarious. Example: when the British embassy to China, Macartney, arrived in 1793 to negotiate a commercial treaty with the emperor, he was forced to wait for months before even being granted a meeting. Finally, Chinese officials woke him in the wee hours of the day and with much pomp rushed him to the official chambers. However, on the throne was not the emperor but a letter of rejection to the embassy's proposal's, addressed not to Macartney but to the "barbarian" king of the English. Macartney was made to kowtow to the letter as if it were the emperor and then escorted out of the capital. Ha! The British were a bit sore and later returned with a new bumper crop and two opium wars.

Well, the Mayan's end of the world in 12/2012 is not actually an armageddon like proposed by Western religions, but a severe transition period of sorts. My conclusion is that that's when the Chinese are going to take over the world. Don't want to be around here when that happens!
