All good questions which can be answered by any economist of any substance; but I won't elaborate too much since you would be incapable of understanding the finer points of capitalism and my work would be wasted. Suffice to say the cheap Chinese labor gives them an economic advantage and the spread of factory jobs is leading to a wealthier, freedom-seeking populace.

If the Right cares so much about communist oppression, then why did they allow U.S. businesses to move American jobs there, allow the Chinese economy to outstrip ours, and support the Chinese purchase of American bonds?? Jeez…

If eerie steve went to China he would end up in prison where he belongs. Everyone knows that the Chinese only eat rice and noodles. What an idiot.

You know what, lots of Chinese like me know English and are not blind… Do you really hate Chinese because of communism or just racism? Please go to china and take a real look… China is communism in name only. Please don't insult someone when you don't know anything.

I see a lot of fake indignation and accusation here. Where was the indignation when Bush and the Republicans were selling us out ot the Chinese for the 8 year they were running things. It would be nice to see a little equity in indignation from the right (not correct) wing

Hey! Commies! Here is the capitalistic noose of which I shall hang your entire empire with:

Does the fact that the billion man yellow empire has yet to reverse the human digestion by the pure survival of eating human fecal matter disprove Marx and Engles theories on actively reversing the course of history as quantum physics now proves that digestion, not reproduction, came first?

I mean come on! What sewer system is more effective than "all encompassing city of industrious orientals who drink urine and not just eat, but digest and survive off fecal matter?"

I have a lot to say about China and communism, because I know them in and out. They are not commie Buddhists, but a collective brain of Buddhists which explicitly state communism is the most efficient way for humans to govern other humans.

They are neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm. Deep down, they made a compromise that two wrongs shall make a right no matter what and this shall be their downfall.

It is so easy to break China. Oh boy! Who's afraid of the big bad wolf. Well Mr. President and Mr. Premier, what happens when two big bad wolfs blow on a stone house opposite of each other? China is making money for one reason and one reason only. They are getting a reward for defeating Uncle Joe Stalin's Nazi/Commie monster.

Weaponize space? Good luck. That's like playing monsters from the abyss, however not only will the Earth be destroyed, but the entire course of history itself.

Actually, he spoke about human rights and censorship, saying that when information moves freely, it makes the society stronger. The entire section was censored from the broadcast to the Chinese people.

China has annexed Tibet after totally devastating it…destroying an entire culture and making slaves of Tibetans…..yet our stores are crammed with Chinese goods. Everything you buy is stamped Made in China. We owe China a trillion dollars in trade deficits….but let's not normalize relations with tiny Cuba. The hypocrisy smells like burning garbage.

Like good old Russia of today, China has like any communist country, a hybrid system: capitalism for the elite and communism for the mass.

At least our president has the physical attributes to bob and weave when confronted with adversity. The sad revelation is that he, himself is creating it.

Using diplomacy is fine, as long as we are talking about people who share some commonalities with us. That being said, diplomacy will work with a country like China, to a point. We really don't have a “democracy”. Our republic does embrace “some” democratic ideas. China, “might” embrace some democratic idea, but the mistake that we (Democrats, Republicans, and even some Conservatives) make is thinking that China is going to “become” a democracy, in the western sense. Indeed, allies, in the broadest sense, have nothing to do with the internal form of government. We can share common “interests”, but the people who are our allies in one case, may not be our allies in another, and that goes for any country. A foreign country may align itself with us for a limited purpose, but pursue its own agenda if it thinks it should do so. That is just the way of nations. Even countries that we think of as long time allies, and yes, even democracies, do not have the republic form of limited government that we have. That makes it less likely that their citizens have the same “kind” of individuals freedoms that we have in this country. Some of our long time allies, and neighbors, have repressive internal governments, by our standards.

Since they own so much of our debt I was surprised that groveling wimp didn't get on his hands and knees and lick the soles of their shoes clean. Of course maybe he did that in private.

Did anyone honestly think that our president would speak out against communism? Nothing in his background suggests he would, so why would this surprise anyone?

i think proud country like china should be treated with respect because any clash or confrontation is not good . we should use diplomacy and persuade them to embrace democracy and improve their human rights . also we should have them in our side in the war against terrorism
