>>IMO there are a lot of areas where there is this kind of cooperation, but no one draws attention to it. Instead they opt for the evil American hegemon thing.

The fact is that the US has been supporting separatists or insurgents to overthrow the Chinese government but China didn't do so to the US.

>>While there are some conflicts, overall China gets a pretty good deal from the US.

The US gets more from China, too. Without China resisting the Japanese aggression in WWII the US wouldn't have defeated Japan in lesss than 4 years.

>>If they speak on those terms instead of losing their temper at everything, then people are a lot more prone to listen to them.

You will certainly lose temper when your house or property is invaded.

>>Given that the crime was committed on US soil, but that none of the participants were American, I don't know who has jurisdiction, and for what...

According to the Chinese law, China can either send them to the US for trial or has them tried within China.

>>Sometimes Americans are not tried in foreign courts, and sometimes they are, what the distinction is, who knows?

I know. If China were ruled by the KMT, the US GIs wouldn't be tried in a Chinese court.

Kind of like how that American soldier was not recently tried in a Japanese court?
