I don't think you have a handle on this. Nuke 'em - sounds like General Curtis LeMay's comment years ago. If the only issue is security and a foreign government being in our ports - if it fits Dubai and it fits China with COSCO being in Boston and San Diego and other ports.

We need to always compare apples to apples. Fear of some future retaliation is not an issue. And I don't think China cares if we nuke them - we can't nuke enough of them at once to make a difference. Their close ties with Iran bear scrutiny also. China is now attempting to make their moves in the financial markets, buying and making their presence monetarily.

The opportunity exists for Muslim terrorist to infiltrate there too as they are in SE Asia in force - just as in the Middle East. AQ and their "sister" organizations are worldwide.

Don't get me wrong they all bear watching - but this port deal (DPW) is not the "smoking gun" or security breach reporters and politicians are making it out to be. If it truly were all past port deals would now also be under the same microscope now given the post 9/11 security consciousness.
