I never said anything like Chinese people are all murderous psychpoaths as you think.

Actually, this is exactly what you are saying.

You said that they'd hapily kill millions and millions and that Chinese people would support it -- all because in Taiwan and the US the names of some buildings were changed from institute to consulate or embassy.

If your claims are true, that would mean they are psychopathic murderous people.

You can't have it both ways.

Look, China isn't going to attack.

If they do, we are able to be ready for it and use it to end that horrible regime (worse than Hussein's) and help out to make China a truly great nation it could be.

You want to be sacred. OK. Be scared.

No, I don't think the leaders are per se psychopaths--at least not in their normal operating modes. Sociopathic--perhaps some.

But I think you forget their value orientation.

To them, man is nothing more than--as Skinner put it--a rat, a pidgeon or a radish--or a rock for that matter.

Population to them is easily, philosophically expendable. Citizens are either assets depending--or liabilities to feed, house, clothe, keep mollified--depending.

From their reference frame, they are merely resource managers calculating as they best see fit fo the furtherence of the culture, the CHINESE NATION which includes, to them, CHINESE EVERYWHERE--regardless of citizenship.

I also think you tend to underestimate the CHUNG GUO REN against the barbarians mentality and how deeply, intensely visceral it is.

Am much more concerned that I might displease Father God than that the Chinese might kill me. Some were concerned that some Chinese might try to get a promotion by killing some of us westerners during Tienanmen when the government started stirring up anti-American stuff to blame the democracy movement on the USA. But so many Chinese were so protective, it was sweet.

BTW, it's not nice for you to put words in my fingers.

I said the leaders would willingly [not happily per se] kill off millions and millions for pride and ethnocentrc reasons, grandiose reasons.

I said the populace could easily support invading Taiwan. Different issues.

If your analysis of the Chinese problem is as clever and sharp as your analysis of me or of my posts, it's easy to see how flawed conclusions might occur.

And I remain very unconvinced about how ready we are to deal with China--militarily or otherwise.

The deepest/highest ranking spy in our inner intel circles in DC was Chinese. And that was BEFORE Billdo and Shrillery.
