That couldn't be further from the truth. And lets not forget your original comment regarding "getting together with Putin". Between the two countries, China, without a doubt, has been more cooperative with the US than Russia. Yet, you want to "get with Putin"?
It is destroying US with its Trade Imbalance.
I don't believe trade imbalance will destroy the US. America's trade imbalance existed before China came along. The trade imbalance does weaken the dollar, in the long run. Yet ironically, and some of this is happening, some of the labor intensive manufacturing is coming back to the US because of the weakened dollar.
It is having more and more influence in our Government every year.
More than Europe or Asia or Latin America or the Middle East?
They have the biggest surplus of money in the history of record keeping.
They have the larget foreign reserves, but if you measure China's reserves on a per capita basis, they don't stand out at all.
They are copying our patents.
Ironically, strengthening patent laws in China actually makes China stronger in the long run. So, as much as you criticize China for it (weak patent enforcement), you appear to be the kind of person who would resent China gaining any technological edge as a result of her strengthening patent laws.
And they are polluting the earth to the max.
China is working to clean up the environment. But don't get CO2 emissions confused with pollution. As a whole, the West still emits more CO2 than China.
Per capita doesn’t count because they have the highest popultation on earth.
It has to. You can't relegate China to the same CO2 requirements as Canada anymore than you can relegate the US to the same requirements as Denmark.
They are the last and biggest Communist Nation.
In some areas, they are more free market than the US.
Enough reasons
The only reason I would agree with you, is if I was someone who wanted to preserve the old order.
Thanks for making my arguments stronger.
