"As someone who has been going to sea all my life, if there is one tenet that we observe it's when somebody is in need you provide (assistance) and you sort it out later," the admiral said. "And that, to me, was more bothersome, so I look forward to having discussions with the PLA navy leadership," he said, referring to the People's Liberation Army.
Oh well, lets just keep buying their stuff as they poison our children with lead.
Jeeeeeezzzzz...I would have felt better about this article if the Adm. had said he wasnt surprised...
They’re mad about the Dali Lama’s award and missile sales to Taiwan.
The Chinese are still children when it comes to diplomacy.
In a related story, San Francisco has refused to allow the military of any type in their city. No JROTC, no aerial demonstrations.
....Bob
I was on the Kitty Hawk over the summer...as if the sailors on it needed anything else to make them depressed :(
As a more direct response to your statement, Lokibob, my old high school practically gave me the could shoulder when I spoke there over Thanksgiving because they had received complaints from parents who didn’t want the military on the campus.
hey nice shot.
In a related story, Bush prevents any more chinese from entering San Francisco. Firecrackers and railroad labor costs have skyrocketed.
We should tell the Chinese to take about $50,000,000,000 of their goodies they sell us and shove it where the sun don’t shine. Maybe the Iranians will buy it, or perhaps North Korea, but either way, until we teach these bastards a hard economic lesson, we will be the ones paying (as we have for the last 20 years or so.)
they sure act like children. but then, so does Kim Jong Il. Maybe its just something in the water over there.
Navy Chief = Navy Chief. I thought they were going to discuss a Chief’s opinion on this. I was all excited for a minute. lol.
There is only one candidate who has and will deal with the Chinese threat. And the ONLY one who did not support Most favored nation trade status for China.

” Our domestic manufacturers are forced to compete against foreign companies that benefit from their country’s currency and regulatory regimes. Ominously, China is cheating on trade and using billions of American trade dollars to build ships, planes and missiles at an alarming rate while, at the same time, taking millions of American jobs. I will reverse this “one-way street” with a new policy of fair trade for the American worker.”
Trade jitters, anti-China sentiment rouse voters
PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - It could be expected that Iraq would play a big role in the 2008 U.S. election campaign. But if recent populist rallies are an indication, another country may be rousing even more anger from voters: China.
In all corners of an overflowing convention room this week in the industrial Rust-Belt city of Pittsburgh, voters, union officials and company executives alike railed against unfair trade — and demanded U.S. politicians do something.
“Our government refuses to stand up to the Chinese and make a level playing field,” John Ratzenberger, a television actor headlining the event, told about 800 factory workers and concerned voters, to applause.

Panel Says Chinese Spies Top Tech Threat
WASHINGTON (AP) — A congressional advisory panel said Thursday that Chinese spying represents the greatest threat to U.S. technology and recommended counterintelligence efforts to stop China from stealing the nation’s manufacturing expertise.
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission also said in its annual report to Congress that small and medium manufacturers, which represent more than half the manufacturing jobs in America, “face the full brunt of China’s unfair trade practices, including currency manipulation and illegal subsidies for Chinese exports.”
China’s economic policies create a trade relationship that is “severely out of balance” in China’s favor, said the commission, which Congress set up in 2000 to investigate and report on U.S.-China issues.

Well,there's a couple of maroons then.
China's all for military to military visits when it's their operatives in our places, but hardly vice-versa.
Re: “It’s not, in our view, conduct that is indicative of a country that understands its obligations as a responsible nation,”
Isn’t this, and hasn’t this always been, blatantly obvious?
ping for later viewing
For a minute I thought this pic was a Big 12 half-time show,....but its not.
Give it a rest, you and pissant are starting to remind me of Amway salesmen.
