China's rapid growth is often painted as a threat to American interests. But President Obama said today that the country's economic progress benefits the United States and opens the door to greater international stability and humanitarian progress.

"We welcome China's rise," Mr. Obama said at a press conference at the White House with Chinese President Hu Jintao. "I absolutely believe that China's peaceful rise is good for the world, and it's good for America."

0bama: “We welcome China’s rise”

moron

idiot

traitor

and i would tell him to his face. i have no respect for zer0 as he sells out my country and hands over formerly top secret military tech to communist dictators.

if there is anyone left in the WH that remembers what it was like to not sell out your country, dropping a few tidbits onto the web would be useful in getting rid of this guy.

Unfortunately, Obama is far from the first president to have this attitude toward Red China. GHWB, Clinton and GWB all paved the way for the situation that exists today.

Let’s see, would a true Conservative be in favor of moving an electronics factory to a Communist Country(China) to exploit slave labor to make a few pennies on the dollar MORE profit? Not only that, that same US built Chinese factory can be turned into a weapons factory in short order, producing high tech weapons to be used against us? What exactly is conservative about that?

What is the reason for the Chinese rise?

Answer - the decline of the USA.

Obama and the State Department favor the decline of the US. A few years ago Madeline Albright even so stated in her book.

Only in Obama's America can you be an admitted tax cheat and still be considered "honorable"......

“he supported “partial-birth” abortion when he was briefly a state senator in Illinois”

He also supported murdering infants born ALIVE. If the “mother” didn’t want the baby, and if the baby was born alive, this worthless scumbag supported murdering the infant. Nurses found living, breathing infants in medical waste bins and in pans in closets, and this worthless slimeball said it was ok. They had to wait until he left the Illinois senate to pass the bill to protect these babies.

He’s trash.

I just read that Hu is headed to Chicago to meet with Mayor Daley. What’s up with that? Saving Illinois?

When Barry finally has his anti-China tantrum...

The only way Obamalamadingdong is going to throw a tantrum over China is if they do something that helps the USA to prosper. Otherwise, there ain't gonna be no tantrum because Obama is positively giddy with anticipation over the certain demise of the USA and his role in it. It's been his goal since before he ever entered public office.

We owe them a ton of money, so let's try not to insult them.

Which brings me to my other point, let's stop borrowing so much money from them.

Obama just welcomed communism outright do people get this?
Or will his media fawn all over him and join Obma’s love of communism?

“I absolutely believe that China’s peaceful rise is good for the world, and it’s good for America.”

Nothing new here. This has been the standard line since Nixon went to China in '72.

It's a pre-printed message with a blank space for the current occupant of the White House.

Names or party affiliations aside, the guest list gives a pretty good revelation and cross-section of the socialist/marxist/fascist/elite makeup of the shadow government controlling our country.

The list is replete with Wall Street financiers......manipulators and profiteers......globalist industrial/corporate CEO's......economic-disaster-promoting political appointees......media propaganda moguls......malleable elected representatives......ambitious ac/dc RINOS......influential heavy-hitter contributors......plus aging, never-retired, one-world, euro-socialist diplomats and foreign affairs America-Lasters.

Pinkbell, you performed a great service to FR by posting this guest list. It's not Mooselle's flamboyant gown that should be garning all the attention and scrutiny....nor should it be the fellow-traveler celebrities and monied socialites on the guest list.

The analysis should be on the intent and agendas of the leftist, influential, financially/ideologically-driven people there......and why they were invited by Emperor Obama at this moment in time to meet the Chinese Emperor.

My analysis......country of origin, jostling for power, politics and personalities never trump always following the money trail.

Last night, MONEY is what brought every guest in that room together as one entity.

One thing we have to keep in mind, while many in the US bristle at the thought of a rising China, many in China bristle at what they see as self promoting (and even arrogant) American exceptionalism.

“China’s rise” is propaganda and hogwash.
Their people live in dire 3rd world poverty.

China doesn’t bristle at anything. They know it’s all a game and they are posers. American exceptionalism is REAL. As Maria Bartiromo says, “Let’s not underestimate the power of freedom.”

Even liberals are taking up the cry of American exceptionalism, so stuff it.

Well, if you're such a proponent of American exceptionalism, then why wouldn't you support China to also benefit from materiel benefit as well?

The funny thing about the touting of American exceptionalism today vs, say post WWII, is that the US sought not only export democracy, but also, the economic benefits that come with it today.

Many in the US today and on the FR, want to promote American exceptionalism from a self annointed policeman point of view.

The reality is, China is becoming more like America, though not a full fledge democracy, Chinese people can come and go as they please and can practice in the free market. But along with becoming more like America, are the free market benefits of productivity, technology, economic might, etc. Something that many Americans now resent that the Chinese have acquired.

Stuff it? No I won't. As long as I see what is America's refusal to be benevolent with China's prosperity after preaching capitalism since WWII and then turning it all around when it appears China is participating, I will always give my perspective. America's self ordained position that she must remain the leading economic power in the world is nothing short of arrogant when you consider that China has 1.4 billion people vs the US 300 million.

American determination to be the most productive or have the highest standard of living, I can understand. But to insist that somehow the rise of an evil empire is on the horizon simply because China, a nation of 1.4 billion, is inching closer to developed world status and a leading economic power is at best arrogant.

Utterly ridiculous. PRC is a totalitarian communist dictatorship, NOTHING like America!! You sound like you work for the Propaganda Department. You don't belong on Free Republic.

Sunken Civ, see its post #79. Incredible how this goes unchallenged on this forum, while people on our side get mercilessly attacked.

America's self ordained position that she must remain the leading economic power in the world is nothing short of arrogant

And, "ponder life," you are full of yourself.
