well, one way to look at it is the following: if *every* country in the world is printing money like crazy to save their own economy, then printing money is not a problem (for the US) and it should have a minimum impact on the inflation. And that is precisely what we have observed in the past year or so...
Not quite. It means every nation will have massive inflation. If I jump off a skyscraper, I die. If everyone else also jumps off, then will I still die? Yes, along w/ everyone else.

Chinese buffet needs lots of work I think. also smells bad. how to compare Chinese supermarket and macdonald?
Inflation is quite apparent in China. Most essentials like meat grain are up 10% in price in recent months because the economy recover strongly, at least in statistic numbers. People feel wealthy with increasing house value like in US 3 years ago and are more likely to spend their money. For US, watch the economy as well. If GDP grows strongly to regular 3%, inflation will come.

This is an important point, is inflation relative or absolute? My understanding is that for the US to see high inflation, it has to be inflation w.r.t. other currencies. But it well could be that the inflation has to take place w.r.t. certain commodities, such as rice or gold. That said, a commodity is not a commodity if it is not traded in some currencies, and therefore in all currencies (minus RMB, which is an entirely different story, since it is not freely traded on the open market). Ain't w

I feel that China is a slightly different story because the RMB is under state control and does not flow freely w.r.t. other major currencies. I don' t really know how to make a connection between China and US here, or use one to predict the other. What you said could well be true, on how the GDP growth relates to potential inflation in the US. But, inflation, as a healthy side-product of general economical development, is less of a concern (to most people here) than a sudden fear that there is

Strong economic growth leads to decrease of risk, which makes leverage-up attractive. With pretty large amounts of money created in recession, speculative leverage becomes possible and will be very profitable. So much money chasing limited amounts of resources causes inflation. I hope this time it is not hyerinflation, in which case it wipe out everybody.
