“Pay in cash, and we can talk further. I’m not convinced China is necessarily yet an enemy of the state.”
China’s definitely an enemy of freedom through selling arms and technology to terrorists and holds back the world economy by artificially inflating its currency. I think one of the reasons Bush wants this country flooded with immigrants is his obsession with competing with China by expanding our domestic consumer and worker base.
Hard currency wanted. They want to be players, and should be, soon. They aren’t the USSR.
