Bush is in lala land. He better get out of the ... house, hook up on the net, wake up and smell the real HUMINT coffee.
Are you talking about Bush or YOURSELF?
To: Cacique
A nation that steals our military and industrial secrets.They didn't steal them. Like good capitalists, they bought 'em fair and square from the Bent One.
And evidently at rock bottom prices.

There are only three letters in the words "conservative news" that apply to Rupert Murdoch and Fox.
1. N
2. W
3. O
Put them together....NWO.

You might have an interest in #92 then.
BTW, the exchange doesn't end there.. It get's worse when dubya starts chest beating and claiming "Not if I am President.. Only if you are President" and such.
Follow the link and see for yourself.

All of the politicians have been talking tough about holding China accountable. Why do we give MFN status to a country which routinely violates weapons embargoes, tries to disrupt Taiwanese elections, and tries to take out our recce aircraft? I hope a little trade works for the Chinese like being a bit pregnant or being slightly infected with HIV.
To: hawaiian
We have to. China is in the WTO.
The thing now is to bring down the communist regime.
It can be done.

Some of it they did buy, some of it they got for free like when we helped them mirv their satelite launches. BUT mostly they stole it, in particular our nuclear and industrial technology.

i don't care for this much at all. but it does give us some political capital and may help keep China at bay while we're tearing it up elsewhere, not to mention what it might do to help China along toward westernization.

Things Clinton would have been roasted for now get a FR shrug!! I use to think freepers wanted what was best for this country. Now I think they just wanted Republicans in office.

I suspect the Europeans are gnashing their teeth because Boeing will once again be the Chinese government aircraft of choice. Will Boeing build them here? I doubt it. Boeing will tool up in China. So in short China will have a plane factory. If China want's to buy Boeings I don't care as long as they say on them and are indeed MADE IN AMERICA. But I doubt that China is as stupid as we are in that sense.

Oh my goodness, gracious me, (etc., etc.). Who is "Bushy's" uncle and what does he have to do with trade with
COMMUNIST China. What a major shock!! I just really wan't expecting anything like this!!
Oh well, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
To: marquis
Its real simple ... vote with your wallet! If its says Made in China ... don't buy it! Sooner or later they'll get the message. Why would I want to vote in China? I vote with my wallet for value. And besides, everything is made in China.

What upsets me is every time I hear this "Boycott China Products" mantra, it's coming from a union member.
Naturally, this is a tough one for me.. Deciding which I hate more. The Chinese or the Unions.
I have alot of contempt reserved for them both..

Hehe. That is a dilemma. Personally, I don't give a rat's ass about China one way or the other. Not when it comes to trade. The whole US textile industry could go belly up and I would still sleep well at night. Part of that is from not knowing anything about international trade. And part of it is just not having any reason to care.
