Freeman also told his audience, ”There will be no American imperium. The effort to bully the world into accepting one has instead set in motion trends that threaten both the core values of our republic and the prospects for a world order based on something other than the law of the jungle.”

So, no more attacks on Serbia? ;)

"Freeman seems to have fallen into that school of dissident thought that is looking for a foreign alternative to what his liberal sensibilities find distasteful about American preeminence."

When, oh when, are we going to make treason a capital offense again? People like this make me sick to my stomach. They have not one ounce of loyality to their country nor to their fellow citizens, and no appreciation for the freedom and liberty we enjoy. Freeman should get to live out the rest of his life in China.

China won’t return to greatness until they become democratic.

You elect a Chinese-money-grabbing Dhimmocrat again to the Presidency and you'll get your decline.

And much, much more...

Former greatness? As in thousands of years ago?

On the question of China’s “authentic aspirations,” which Americans need to understand, looms the national security issue. Freeman told his audience, “No one still dismisses the PLA as a ‘junkyard army.’

Gee, I guess Freeman hasn't seen some of the posts here where there are always a few who still do....

China's recent anti-satellite test, growing participation in UN peacekeeping missions, and near tripling of defense spending since 2000 mark its emergence as a considerable military power.”

That's only what they have admitted to, Freeman.

Yet, we should not react to this. Indeed, he urged the CNA, whose job it is to worry about such things, to reject “our apparent nostalgia for the aggressive expansionism of our now inconveniently vanished Soviet rivals” and to avoid “writing narrowly focused and highly tendentious reports mandated by Congress to justify the single-issue agendas of our military-industrial complex or, for that matter, our humanitarian-industrial complex.

This China apologist has a little bit of trouble with the Law. And he gets his knickers in a twist when rejected by those people who are concerned for AMERICAN national security...and true liberty for the oppressed around the globe...and so he attempts to misrepresent and demean them when he calls them "Complexes".

H'mmmmm. Dwight Eisenhower he isn't. Seems to me that the guy has a "complex" of his own...

The Chinese will never surpass the US. They have neither the technology nor the ability to think outside the box like we can.

Here is an interview with this Washington, D.C. based POS, in which he compares the Bush administration to Nazis:

Freeman’s view: "Calling our campaign against terrorists a "war" is a transparent deception, intended to ensure that political correctness will preclude questioning about either the conduct of the campaign or the governance of the nation. To an unconscionable extent, this has worked.

"As a political technique, what the administration has done is not in the least original. Herman Goering testified at his trial: "...the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders..." http://www.niemanwatchdog.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=ask_this.view&askthisid=179

China has become a screen on which Americans can project both our reveries and our nightmares,” he says.

He then continued: "I've decided to project my fantasies of a benevolent Chinese Empire sweeping over the globe leading us into a new age of enlightenment."

When the Chinese can help 95% of their population that live in abject and horrible poverty and bring them to 30% of the standards of living level of the poorest people in the US, then we may consider talking about China as a real Super Power.

Got waylaid into a rather hostile political argument at lunch last week with a Chinese expat co-worker.

“What gives you the right to invade another country?” she demanded, referring to Iraq.

“Numerous violated and ignored UN resolutions,” I replied, though a better retort might’ve been, “That’s nice, coming from the occupiers of Tibet.”

That the United States will remain on top shouldn't be taken for granted. It definitely isn't a given.

China has much more potential than the United States on account of its much larger population.

Back to the first point:

All nations, including the United States, serve at God's whim, and God decides which nation will be great and for how long.

Americans should still work to try to keep American dominance as long as they can. Enlarged United States of America.

” China’s recent anti-satellite test”

Perhaps “mr fraser” could tell everyone which group has fought tooth and nail against America having anti-satellite capability

So, Freeman is a little wacky--but Hawkins ain't so rational himself (though more so than Freeman--not typing much).

China poses a huge risk to this country.

Freeman takes the point of view that China isn't a threat because it will be generally peaceful.
Hawkins recognizes the threat, but primarily from a militaristic (rather than an economic and cultural along with militaristic view).

Freeman does point out that Asia is the "natural" leading continent, Europe only taking the fore in the last half millennium or so, and North America for a some measly sixty years (Rome probably gave Han China a run for its money, though--still some of the Roman Empire was in Asia, and that continent included some of Rome's wealthiest provinces).

There is a very obnoxious PRC bootlicking, anti Taiwanese, anti Japanese, and ostensibly, anti Western, forumite who goes by “freeman” over at the Asiawind “Our World” forum. Based on what this cat stated in the above article, I am inclined to think he’s the same Freeman.

Those who wish America to go abroad in search of monsters to destroy can always find one worthy of our attention there. China has become a screen on which Americans can project both our reveries and our nightmares,” he says.

What do you mean our nightmares?

A search revealed that there were references to corruption, unemployment, revolution, pollution, or unrest. Which China is this guy writing about?

One more unemployed, one more ton of pollution, one more yuan pocketed by a corrupt Party cadre village leader and -- it could happen -- KA-BOOM!

We've lived through sagging dollars, recessions, inflation, stagnation, stagflation -- that's our "nightmare." The Chi-Coms' nightmare is KA-BOOM! All the things and more that brought Mao's revolution to power and ended the Nationalist government are there. Tick, tick, tick. . . .

Ancient empires do not as a rule return. They don’t entirely go away, but the conditions of their ascendancy would be near impossible to replicate.
