"Where? In what way?"
Well, for starters, by requiring Google to censor themselves.
Less recently, by interfering with our ability to keep a nuclear weapon out of the hands of a certain madman in Southeast Asia...
Does anyone sincerely believe we would have allowed this to happen had we not feared Chinese intervention? They view Korea and Vietnam as provinces of their empire, and would never have allowed us to invade.
Anyone who views China's growth as benevolent needs to crack a history book. China's goal is, and has always been, global domination. As for all of that capital surplus coming back to us some day. It might, but you can bet your keister that there will be some SERIOUS strings attached when and if it does.
They take the LONG view. Time in their world-view has no meaning. Their overall societal goals remain the same as it has for the last 3000 years. Global domination. By treating ourselves to the short-term benifits of cheap goods, we are only assisting them. They have the numbers to get it done. They have for a long time. They just haven't had the capital... We're giving it to them WILLINGLY.
They are already requiring US-based companies to censor themselves. Their methods are much more subtle than the Islamicists, but their aims are no less sinister.
Enjoy those cheap goods, boys. Hope it was worth it.
Welcome to Free Republic, BTW.
You don't know anything at all about CHEAP Japanese goods, 55+ years ago, do you? LOL
