Re:Here I saw stereotype again (Score 1)

Yes, China fought with US in Korea and Vietnam. It's stupid. It's Mao's decision. Mao is an barbarian and crazy dictator. I don't think there are any young people in China who like him nowadays. However, Mao's era is history. Could you please take a second look at today's China? Yes, there is still a dictatorship there. But right now the government is busy taking care of its people rather than trying to obtain world hegemony. And to me, hegemony is no good, be it America's or China's. And talking about ICBMs, America has about 7,000 of them and China has only about 20. Su-27s? China has only less than 100 of them and America has the most advanced aircrafts in the world and is still spending billions to upgrade them and America's military budget dwarf China's. I really can't see how America is being threatened by China.

"stealing our software..." software piracy is a problem for many countries, not just China. And it's not a matter of being communist or not. As far as I know, Russia, India and Taiwan also have high piracy rates. I strongly support any crackdowns on piracy by the Chinese government. Actually, they are trying to. Last month I just read an report about the Chinese police raided a underground CD pirating factory.

"Threatening our stragetic partners in Asia..." So you are talking about Japan and Taiwan. Japan has far more sophicated weapons than China does, and its military expense ranks #2 in the world, and has world-class navy. I am not sure who is threatening whom? As for Taiwan, it's historically part of China, so I see nothing wrong if China wants to avoid its separation, just like Lincoln used force against the southern states to prevent the separation of the Federation.

"Violating the immigration law..."I don't think the Chinese government does intentionally. Those waves of illegal immigrants are actually manipulated by the Chinese Mafia. I have read on the Chinese newpaper that the government is setting up special task force to handle that.

"corrupting our political process..."It's very bad. Total stupidity. That kind of things should not be allowed to happend again.

"exporting weapons of mass destruction to rouge nations (Iran, N. Korea)..." Don't forget: US is the NO.1 arms export country in the world. And a lot of those arms also go to many dictatorships around the world, not just democratic countries. And Irag also got its artillery and Phantom Fighters from Germany and France. How come it's OK for US (many other countries) to sell as many weapons as it likes, but it's an evil for China to do so?

"stealing our national security secrets..." First, even Israel is spying on US. Espionage from China should not be of surprise to you. I think there is no country in the world that doesn't spy on US, the tecnological leader in the world. So again, why single out China? AND, don't play the victim here, you think CIA is sitting on their hands about China? New York times ran a long article in September saying that US is gaining more intelligence from the military exchange with China than China is gaining from US.

Finally, all those bad things can be done by any other countries around the globe. The reason you single out China is because it's NOT *"one of us"*. Currently, China is kind of like an astray child trying to find its position in the world. Whether it will become an threat or a blessing depends on how well it evolve from its dead communist shell. I would very much like to see America offer its help in this respect, as a leader of the world should do. Help with setting a free enterprise system in China and a thorough legal system and a democratic political system will be much appreciated. BUT, those help should not come in form of threat or coercion, which will never never never work.
