I like the Chinese culture. communism is very interesting. I just don't feel this has anything to do with the Chinese people. It has to do with their government and ours.Both the US and China, are scouring the world for oil, gas and minerals to help power their economy, There really are issues of National security too. It is like a giant game of monopoly and we are losing. The US and China have been buying up resources for some time. Our leaders are more interested in turning a profit, they are hoping the war will keep everyones eyes focus elsewhere while they sell off US companies, move them to China and pocket the profits. I wonder just how long the profits will last. It is a very bad economic move for us. It worries me that they are creating a false economy with the dollar and the human rights violations are still an issue. They have not gone away.

The yuan, is fixed to the US dollar, and is grossly undervalued, keeping China's exports artificially cheap, undermining US exports, putting many Americans out of work and threatening the closure of many industries

we have a whopping US trade deficit with China of 162 billion dollars in 2004, and Beijing used the surplus dollars to buy an array of modern weapons that threaten US security...

Less obvious: a far more insidious grab for industrial secrets. This electronic theft is taking place with the tacit okay, or at least the nonintervention, of the Beijing government.

The United States will turn inward out of fear of domination, and along with their European compatriots leave the world to the rule of Asian powers, notably China. This view is shared by many within China....
