But we don't want to be too harsh with the Chinese.
If we are, they might not want to buy U.S. bonds any more.
And then the politicians wouldn't be able to spend taxpayer money to keep themselves in office.

I so totally agree. We need overseas Chinese Communist money to grease the wheels! (sarc) I believe we call these business interests Friends of Bill, right? A little campaign money or Bonds here, some high-tech exports there, etc.
You know, the basic force modernization package.
When they turn on us, just remember, we helped them! Oh yeah, as a bonus the politicians economically rape the land and the people with their out of control spending and usurious taxes.
Swell, just swell. Does this give us that "warm fuzzy feeling"? I don't think so....
I think Sting has the best depiction of this state of affairs came up with this line in Synchronicity II:
"...a humiliating kick in the crotch."
A little kick in the crotch here, a little stab in the back there, you know, business as usual.
