Countries are just artificial borders, culture goes beyond that. If you want to compare the government country to country then you can only compare The modern China of the past 70 years against the United States of 250 years.
However your original post was comparing both government and culture.
Western culture refers to European culture which has evolved from Roman and Greek culture. It does not refer to the entire Western Hemisphere unless you want to start including Native Americans and Africans in Western culture.
You gotta be kidding me, if the US stopped exports from China today I would get whatever amount of money I could and start a manufacturing company tomorrow.
The Cybermilitary, get it right. We're facing an ipv4 shortage, haven't you read peak ipv4?? We must reclaim all of the ipv4 resources that China has been hoarding these years!
Don't be silly, when we speak of Human Rights being a Universal Truth, it must be something that must stand the test of time. Human rights refer to a set of acts that the government or a person can not perform on another human being. They do not refer to a set services that a government must provide. Health care is a a socio-political issue that the citizens of a nation must decide on themselves, not one of human rights.
A lot of Robotics equipment, Chemical Vapor Deposition machinery, and Semiconductor fabrication machines, CNC Machinery, and other related heavy machinery are still produced in the West(Or in Japan)... Hard to believe for the average/.'er but it's true.
Look, I've taken enough classes in philosophy to understand moral relativism. I read what you said, and I disagree. People in the US argue and complain because quite frankly the government and corporations in the US are judged to impossibly high standards. Westerners tend to be idealists and when something doesn't approach their ideals, they complain, loudly over the internet.
However, Humans Rights are a Universal Truth, they come from our human nature, our instincts and the way our brains are wired, and China is a country that is committing gross violations towards it's own Citizens. What should really sicken you is the communist parties destruction of their own ancient culture and peoples. I should add, if you're feeling sick, you should visit the doctor.
It has a small assortment of racing cars, reason being all the cars are modeled realistically. It's more of a professional sim/MMO style "game," I hesitate to call it a game as it is used extensively by race car drivers for professional practice. All of the race tracks are laser scanned and have incredible accuracy. Damage modeling works fairly well in the game too, however vehicle dynamics have no competition.
Go try out iRacing, THAT is the most realistic commercially available sim and it is in an entirely different league then Gran Turismo.
Heck, I would say Need For Speed: Shift is more realistic than Gran Turismo with some of the realism mods. That again is the beauty of the PC, mods.

For the past 2 to 3 years I have been harping on at numerous forums how I'm not entirely convinced that Polyphony Digital actually know what the hell they are doing.
I've been trying to explain this to my friends for the past few years, I loved GT1 and GT2, heck even GT3/4 were entertaining to a degree. But GT was never really a Sim, and with all the crap they are trying to throw into GT5, it won't be a sim either. It's just a fun racing game IMO.

Well, it's quite a bit more than in China!

I could be within two months depending on the complexity.

Hardly, or do you think Western culture and beliefs were created in 1776?
"They're aren't," I have to laugh at myself over this one.

You mean everything will start pointing towards the Great IP of China?
Great....
What kind of /.'r do you think I am to have a girlfriend?
Pshh I snort at you sir, now excuse while I go back to my parents basement to play WoW.
I have conclusive proof of the matter, but I can not share it for it is a matter of national security.
China owns less than 1% of all US dollars in circulation, they're aren't a threat.
This question is repeated endlessly at almost every major world event, "Does this come as a surprise to anyone?"
Stop already, its just a useless waste of bits.

From now on we will refer to this as Radtea's Law.

They don't only pirate software, they pirate hardware beyond belief.
Get one piece of advanced equipment, send 20 engineers to reverse engineer it and construct thousands of copies using cheap rice fed laborers.
Moral relativism needs to be shot to hell.
Comparing the DMCA to political censorship and torture is ridiculous.
