How will a United States economic collapse affect Asia?

How will a United States economic collapse affect Asia?
Apparently, from what I've heard the United States is headed for an economic collapse. What I want to know is how will an Economic Collapse affect Asia? According to Peter Schiff, Asian currency will rise as the US dollar falls. China is looking to be a world economic leader and would lead Asia. Also billionaire Jim Rogers has moved to Singapore and said that China is going to grow. Do any of you feel that any of this is true? What I want to know is how will Asia do if the United States collapses economically?

if you think they are poor countries wait until Americans stop buying Tvs and cars from Asia! then watch it fall wow!

If the US fails we will throw another atom bomb on Asia to take them down with us!
3 :
China probably has plans to survive with out our dollar, their country is run by VERY intelligent people. I don't know exactly how, but it looks like they started emphasizing tourism.
4 :
Your source may be correct, but the Asina market may too collapse. As of yet, the US purchases somewhere in the neighborhood of 50% of Asian-produced goods. If our economy collapses, thats 50% gone!!! Thats a sure collapse. However, it is unlikely that our ecoomy will collapse completely.

We've been in a depression since the second term of what's his name. They've been telling us what we want to hear, but the proof is in the pudding. I've had a lay-off, and a door closing bankruptcy at another company, all in '07. If the U.S. isn't on top, someone will be, and China and India are ready to be major players in world economics.

We are one of China's biggest customers. If we fail, they fail. Same thing with these oil rich countries. They wouldn't amount to a pimple on our *ss if we didn't buy their stuff. Let us not forget how much money we owe China. They hold a lot of our government securites. If we fail, we might not pay them back. Wow, won't that hurt.

First of all, the US economy is not going to collapse. It's not even clear we're in a recession. The great depression was exacerbated by a fledgling fed that did exactly the opposite of what they should have done. That is, they took liquidity out of the system rather than adding it. Regarding your question, a collapse of the largest economy in the world (we are four, some think five times larger than China in GDP) would send the entire world into a depression. Since we would presumably default on our treasury bonds, of which China and Japan hold the most in the world, countries who hold our bonds as foreign reserves would experience a crisis of liquidity. Also, their export markets would dry up overnight and there would be a run on their banks. It is difficult to judge, but Asian countries would probably be worse off than the US

The term 'Indian' when applied to the Native Americans is a misnomer. ie- When the North American was discovered by Europeans, they mistakenly thought that it was actually the country India that they had arrived in (the world had nnot been accurately mapped yet). The name stuck, but is an imposed Western term and not correct to use.
2 :
Well, Christopher Columbus wanted to sail to India in south asia by sailing west. When he reach central america, he thought he was in India and called the Native americans Indians. So the word stuck. Native Americans and Indians from India are different people. Native Americans were already on america when europeans discovered america.
3 :
The Native American originated amongst a particular group of Siberians that crossed the Land Mass bridge between Siberian (Russia) and North America between 60,000 to 100,000 years ago, following the migratory animals they hunted. Thus all Native Americans, from Hopi to Aztec, from Apache to Mayan, are all directly descended from Siberian asiatics. Genetic testing has confirmed this.

When Christopher Columbus set sail in 1492, his purpose for sailing was to find a trade route from Spain to the East (Columbus was Portuguese, mind you, but was hired by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain). At the time, Ferdinand and Isabella had hoped to lay claim to the precious resources of the far East; spices, tea, and metals, such as gold, in particular. Anyway, for as great and explorer as Columbus is credited as being, he took the complete wrong route and ended up in America. He THOUGHT he had made it to the East, India in particular, and thus called the people he met INDIANS. So, to call a Native American an Indian is a complete misnomer. Yes, they have dark skin and dark hair, thus sharing two distinctive features with the people of South Asia. However, in no way are they Indians. It was Columbus' mistake and it took 500 years before people actually started to correct it. The only Indians in the world are those who descend from India. The Native Americans are indigenous to the United States. That means that their roots can be traced back to the US. Of course ALL human existence originated in Africa and we spread out as the continents drifted apart and during the ice age when the oceans froze over. To that end, it is believed that the Native Americans were from Eastern Russia and made it into the North American continent via Alaska and Canada. Specifically, Native Americans prefer to be referred to by their tribal affiliations, so as Navajo, or Cherokee, or Cree, for example, and not just as Native Americans. So, the difference between Indians of South Asia and Native Americans is that Native Americans are not Indians at all, but the South Asians from India are. It is Columbus who was wrong in the first place and the name stuck for hundreds of years. Hope that helps.

They came from Siberia in northeastern Asia, across a 'land bridge' that is no longer there, because of rising sea levels (from Ice melting, this was during the ice age) from Siberia to Alaska. They migrated all the way to South America in a few thousand years. They were Asian, no doubt much like people of Siberia, today, although there may be other groups there now. Columbus and other explorers thought they had reached "India" or the "Indies" in Asia. So the name Columbus gave the people of the New World, 'Indians', stuck until very recently when American Indians began being called "Native Americans". There is virtually no connection between people of India and American Indians, but there is some between East Asians, in Siberia, parts of China, Japan, etc.

We were already here in the western hemisphere before the "out of Africa" diaspora was supposed to have happened. Archeologists have found proof of our living on these shores for more than 50,000 yrs. India is a country in Asia and the citizens are called Indians. They are not our people though, nor are they our relatives. The white people called us Indians, we tend to identify ourselves by our tribal identities. Although, we have had the name NDN for so long, that many of us still use it, and accept it. I use it and accept it, just like my parents and grand parents did. I'm NDN, North hill Yokuts, and Southern Miwok, and my ancestors have been here since long before the last ice age.

people from india are not the same as people from the americas. indigenous people of the americas did not migrate from anywhere. dna and archaeological evidence put natives in the americas for over 50,000 years. that is longer than there have been caucasians in europe. its time to stop the bering strait THEORY crap. its been proved wrong many times over even though uneducated people continue to repeat it as fact.
