Bump
I know it wouldn't do any good, but things like this make me want to slap Nixon.
Never mind he's the biggest RINO to ever get into office, what with the creation of the DEA, EPA, wage and price controls, etc., but without him China would just be a supersized North Korea with about 800 million starving citizens instead of a superpower today that is plotting our ruin.
Nice summary of the fault in "Universal" liberal ideology.
The true Universal rule is , " survival of the fittest."
Darwinian analysis of the distribution of power in the world is much more revealing.
The recent report on China and its agenda of aggressive hegemony, completed in 2005 by the Sec. Def. gives a tangible overview of the und=certain future facing China, which labors under no delusion of liberalism.
I also assume that Dubyah's public position with Hu is a posture to placate China and gain its support or neutrality on the coming conflict with Iran. It also placates about 50% of the American electorate , that seems to be quite stuck in the past, in Liberal Utopianism.
The fact is that we will move to sanction Iran internationally, while surreptitiously moving for a regime change by taking advantage of Iran's internal regional tensions.This has the current Islamic Regime in Iran having public hissy fits. The path that China chooses to follow in the future will be defined by its choices on Iran, and the President of the United States knows it. He has graciously left the door to future peace and prosperity open to China. Whether she enters it is open to conjecture and fear on the part of those who view the future through the lens of "real politik." But China's history shows us that she will enter both doors, playing the peaceful smiling paternal idealogue, while promoting international drug traffic from Afghanistan, and the golden triangle, funding revolutionary communist regimes, violating the Munroe Doctrine in South America, controling the Panama Canal, completely absorbing Tibet, infringing Buthan unilaterally, etc.
Conventional wisdom on Chian needs be discarded, and in fact, we need to simply be very prepared to slap the royal shite out of her in the Western Pacific, as do South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and Taiwan.
One might predict the resupply of Muslim Terorists in these areas , where they are currently active, in order to secure the oil supplies from the Arab World that China will need in the coming decades, while neutralizing the USA and coalition forces in the region.

Bump, excellent.
The disconnect of the idealogues for free trade despite the clear non-cooperation of the adversary nations continues. Ambassador Peter Allgeier at least did honestly observe of China just this month:
"China's use of industrial policy tools - including government subsidization - to promote and protect these and other industries appears to be on the rise, instead of in decline, and it is a cause of great concern to the United States," the ambassador said.The U.S. is playing by its free trade rules. China is playing Three Card Monty.Another area that continues to generate significant problems for the United States, according to Allgeier, is China's inadequate enforcement of laws, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights.
Forget "ideology" ... I say look for offshore bank accounts if you want to find the motivation here.
