F'ck the Chinese. I don't care if people call it xenophobic.
They're environment-trashing, human-rights-violating,
child-abandoning, dissident-imprisoning communists who sell
weapons
to our enemies and block their population from accessing the truth
about the world and their government.
Sound like ideal allies and trading partners then - certainly we
have
or have had plenty of other allies guilty of all the above.

Xenophobic? What are the chances of the Dalai Lama dropping in to
watch the Olympics without disappearing?
It's not phobic to say that China is our ideological enemy. But I
-could- be phobic, because anybody who has nuclear weapons pointed
at my home or tries to steal our military technology is my enemy.
Thank you for demonstrating my point.
You have no point. Gatt is 100% correct. Placating the Chinese
with
trade won't last. Eventually, they will exercise their military. I
am expecting them to invade Siberia in an effort to expand their
territory and gain access to more natural resources. How do you say
"Liebensraum" in Chinese?


Well, you say it as Lebensraum in German, for starters.

I'm guessing he had an old B-52s tune playing in his head...

"tin roof...rusted!"

I'm pre-B52s. More sort of B-36

Of course I do. The fact that you can't grasp it doesn't eliminate it.

Roughly, 爱的空间. But that's probably not the word you intended.

Not nearly on the scale of China. Of course, we should avoid business with
any of those nations. (Like Saudi Arabia or Sudan.)

Sorry. You're incorrect. It's not xenophobic to call an enemy government the
enemy. I'm not xenophobic for thinking Fidel Castro is a jackass either.
Both governments, coincidentially, have some of the worst media and free
speech censorship on earth. I have no moral qualms whatsoever about
criticizing their governments for what they are.

Fortunately, everywhere except for places like China and Cuba, we don't go
to prison for speaking out against them. There, we would. Wouldn't we?
