China is one country for sure where we can totally separate the government (bad) from the citizens (good) when making decisions about our relationship, unlike in the Middle East where we have fundamental and deep rooted anti-western and anti-American groups under every rock.
Trade that has enriched the Chinese citizenry is a good thing, IMO, because it takes them out of slavery and gives them and subsequent generations a better taste of freedom and independence.
It's only a matter of time, as you said. We should continue our positive relationship with the Chinese people. They will eventually become the strongest ally against radical Islam (WOT).
I wanted to do that, but I was afraid many won't bother reading them when they see links. If you post everything here, everyone will have read it. ;)
