China is broke

My foot.

China gets 2 billion dollars PLUS from the USA in commerce EACH WEEK.

That's over 100 billion a year.

Who's broke?

Hell, our economy is easily thirty times that, if not more. Look at spending patterns of any Socialist nation and tell me that large influxes of cash has saved a single one of 'em? Socialism blatantly encourages, via its "core beliefs," the vast waste of money. Therefore, I'm betting that they're spending more on (a) military equipment, (b) nuclear research, (c) improving their spy agencies, and then (d) supporting "social" programs, than we give them in a year.

Add it up. There's no way 100 billion dollars a year can sustain their economy for any rational period of time, if they spend 200 billion on "essentials"...

China is teetering on the verge of a new form of government. Many of its citizens are pro-capitalist, and I believe that if it weren't for the pride of the old party leadership, China would abandon their dinosaur leaders.

I think that by bringing China into the capitalist world we will turn them against their oppressive government in time. I hope the Bush team knows the appropriate steps to take that will empower Chinese citizens without empowering their government.
