I just returned from Beijing two weeks ago. This is so far from what you find in the average Chinaman. They want to be like America. They like American products, they respect our technology. They don't necessarily agree with our politics due to not having the exposure to our internal debates. The Iraq question was never at issue. The people knew that Saddam Hussein had violated the terms of the 1991 Gulf war peace agreement and thet the US was well within it's rights to hold Saddam accountableWonderful people overall and they understand the threat with Islam. They know fully well that they are infidels too.

You are abdo-lutely right! I know many Chinese immigrants here in the States.
They've all become citizens, and are all very hard-working people wanting to partake in the American dream. One of them is my wife! Her English is better than mine! She teaches Mandarin at a local University.
All my friends tell me that most things in China have loosened up quite a bit. The government still sucks, but it's rotting from the inside.

Several months ago, our daughter was "invited" to become a student ambassador to China through "People to People." We attended the information seminar and were told that the Chinese love Americans and the kids are treated like celebrities. They are always happy to see Americans and are eager to talk with them and work on their English.

I'd been uncomfortable with allowing her to go, given the PRC's treatment of Christians. She made her own decision after seeing the report on Fox News showing people being forcibly evicted from their houses only moments before the wrecking ball went through them. All in the name of progress.

Our private-property grabbing USSC judges would feel at home there.
