Let's remember who MoveOn.org is. Look at this archived screenshot of the Communist Party's website. Notice the blue text on the blue background in the left border at the bottom.

GOP urges probe in China firm deal (Hunter, Hoekstra and Sessions)
>>>Senior Pentagon officials, meanwhile, are investigating the security aspects of the announced plan for Chinas Huawei Technologies and the investment firm Bain Capital Partners to buy 3Com, which makes equipment used by the Pentagon to block computer hackers, including those from the Chinese military.<<<
Tidbit for all. 3Com is the company responsible for providing the firewalls and security software to the Pentagon. Lets keep that in mind.

>>>Help was on the way. In July 1971, President Nixons National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger and Kissingers assistant Winston Lord (later to be U.S. Ambassador to China and president of the Council on Foreign Relations, or CFR) made their now-famous secret trip to China to visit Mao and Zhou. That set up the much more famous Nixon-Kissinger trip to China in 1972, and the equally important trip a few months later of David Rockefeller, chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank and the CFR. Returning from his Beijing visit with Mao and Zhou, Rockefeller declared, The social experiment in China under Chairman Maos leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history. Mass murderer Maos social experiment had by that time taken the lives of up to 64 million Chinese.<<<
About Winston Lord:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Lord
Winston Lord (born in New York City on August 14, 1937) is a United States diplomat and administrator. He served as the president of the Council on Foreign Relations between 1977 and 1985.
Lord, who speaks some Chinese[1], was a key figure in the restoration of relations between the United States and China in 1972. From 196973, as a member of the National Security Councils planning staff, he was an aide to National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger, accompanying him on his secret trip to Beijing in 1971.

China is still run by the Party, and there is nothing to stop it from unleashing some other cause or ideology on the country that will cause a similar amount of human suffering, destruction of wealth, and economic disruption.
That, IMO is the latent threat to China’s future prosperity.
A political party is by its very nature a political animal, not an economic one. Money is only a means to a political end, which for Communists is power. China today holds some $800 billion in US financial assets due to the trade balance. What is not often observed is that the Chinese Government is skimming a few percent off all international trade, for the difference in purchasing power parity between the internal currency and the external one is skimmed when the money is exchanged at the window by those engaged in buying Chinese exports.
It is almost interesting why this topic is not of interest to the popular media, nor why the government is sitting on such a large amount of US-denominated instruments. I take it as further proof of what I wrote above: if the Chinese government was interested in improving the lot of the average Chinese citizen it would find ways to spend that mountain of US money on things that would benefit its own citizens. Instead it just collects the interest and lets the debt pile up. To what end? I don’t know, and they aren’t saying.
But to acknowledge China's military threat might threaten the profits of a few.

Saving the GOP from Itself: Duncan Hunter
Excerpt:
One would think that the minority party during this period, the Republicans, would have been united and working overtime to save this nation from its drift into ‘former superpower’ status. Instead, a large portion of the party had come to accept not only the inevitability of coexistence with the USSR, but the inevitability of socialism in our own domestic policies. Indeed, it was Richard Nixon who swelled the size of the Federal bureaucracy with his creation of the EPA, OSHA, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. Nixon and Henry Kissinger were also the masterminds of the détente policy, a misguided attempt to appease the Soviets. His successor, Gerald Ford, continued the détente policy and continued the march towards Rockefeller republicanism, even going so far to name liberal Nelson Rockefeller as his Vice President. Ford’s full throated support of the Equal Rights Amendment is all one needs to know about the direction of the GOP leadership in the 1970s.

Kissinger told China communist takeover in Vietnam was acceptable: documents
Former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger quietly acknowledged to China in 1972 that Washington could accept a communist takeover of South Vietnam if that evolved after a withdrawal of U.S. troops - even as the war to drive back the Communists dragged on with mounting deaths.
The late U.S. president Richard Nixon’s envoy told Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai: “If we can live with a communist government in China, we ought to be able to accept it in Indochina.”
Kissinger’s blunt remarks surfaced in a collection of papers from his years of diplomacy released Friday by George Washington University’s National Security Archive. The collection was gathered from documents available at the U.S. government’s National Archives and obtained through the research group’s declassification requests.
Kissinger’s comments appear to lend credence to the “decent interval” theory posed by some historians who said the United States was prepared to see Communists take over Saigon, as long as that happened long enough after a U.S. troop departure to save face.

U.S. Navy to emphasize soft power
http://www.politicalgateway.com/news/read/121720
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 (UPI) — The U.S. Navy announced its first major strategic shift in more than 20 years, refocusing the fleet’s role on humanitarian aid and other forms of soft power.
The Navy, along with the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Coast Guard, unveiled the new strategy to embrace a broader shift at the Pentagon to bridge the “generational conflict” in its efforts to thwart extremists, the Christian Science Monitor reported Thursday.
The move focuses on building international partnerships based on convergent interests. Congressional leaders objected, saying the new plan discounts emerging military threats posed by China and other nations.
Republican presidential hopeful U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., said, “The Chinese government has the ability to quickly outstrip” the Navy fleet if measures don’t focus on military capacity.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in speech at Kansas State University in November the use of military operations other than war focuses on the fundamental issues regarding national security.
The hospital ship USNS Comfort toured South America recently on a humanitarian mission to 12 ports aiding nearly 100,000 people. Naval vessels also thwarted a pirate attack against North Korea ships off the coast of Somalia.

Did you ever notice how many of our news outlets have affiliate/satellite offices in China? It is obviously needed for world coverage; however, I wonder what policies are in place that lend influence in reporting.

Only if you are using the Hsu
The Chinese will treat those willing stooges far worse than they will treat the rest of us.
Nobody likes a traitor, least of all those who gain by their betrayal.
Now THAT was a good reply!
Good find!
