Its much to late to deal with China effectively. The only option left is containment as with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Like all communist dictatorships, China will fall in on itself eventually. However, eastern cultures tend to change extremely slowly and some of the core ideologies regarding the individual's place in the big picture will make this a long drawn out event. Probably won't be seen in the next several decades or my lifetime for sure.

But it is one that is made up of approximately 7,200 separate islands.

It's about damned time that the administration wakes up and smells what China really is cooking in that wok. Now let's see the complete dismemberment of the State Department, US withdrawal from the UN, the WTO, and NATO, and the imposition of huge tariffs on the EU and a national boycott of China. Transfer our troops out of South Korea to Taiwan. And lastly, don't let the ChiComs launch ANYTHING into space even if it requires the use of prepositioned spaceborne weapons systems to stop them. Just stopping all inbound shipments from China to the US would destroy their economy much faster than the inflation that would result here. They lose.

"Transfer our troops out of South Korea to Taiwan"

Compared to the rest of your post that part was not the way to go. China WANTS us out of ALL the Pacific. Our presence should be INCREASED where we can. If not directly and militarily, then through other means.

Look at how China does it with it's neighbors. Civil works projects, lending money, building military posts (with out permission ala Philipines), and selling them weapons at below cost. They infiltrate to dominate.

Removing our presence from anywhere in that region would be the wrong move.

<< if [United States of America's President and Armed Forces Commander-In-Chief] George Walker Bush would get the US out of the UN and ... NATO -- and realize that Saudi Arabia and China are this country's mortal enemies -- and get [Rid of the] ... Department of Hate [And replace it with anything able to work (Transferring in any small town's dogcatcher department will constitute a massive improvement)] in cooperation with these policies, then I may admit .... that [President Bush] walks on water. >>

Me too.

But only if he closes our borders and rounds up and expels thirty million criminal aliens -- and lets Israel take care of its enemies, too]

This post is a day late....But yes. Some of us have taken a keen interest in the PRC's Mexican and Latin American "investments". Particularly the ones that make them able to get thier goods into this country under the NAFTA agreement tariff free and "reduced" tariff.

The same game is happening in the beef industry, bigtime. All they have to do is pen the cattle in the US for two weeks and it's considered "American Beef." Domestic ranchers can't get country of origin labeling changes because the eight remaining meatpacking companies have colluded against it.

There's a reason we're now a net primary food importing nation, and it starts with using environmental regulations to shut down domestic production.
