Why, heck. All we have to do is buy some more cheap goods from China and all will be well!

Just ask the Wall Street Journal! China is a “partner” not an enemy.

Joe, as ketsu so ably points out, I was being sarcastic. I know the Chinese are our enemies. I was trying to get across that too many Americans imagine they aren’t and that the WSJournal is one of them.

china and the chicoms have turned me into a man that hates china... despises chinese nationals... and will go out of my way to NOT buy any products from their evil empire. The chicoms are... and have ALWAYS been our enemy... and they ALWAYS will be as long as communism is their GOD.

Bhutan on paper atleast, has a different status-it has a treaty with India whereby New Delhi manages most of it’s defense & foreign policy affairs.So getting into a fight with Bhutan would be getting int one with India.

The Chicoms frequently make these probes-be into Bhutanese or Indian territory or into disputed island groups(near Japan or Vietnam).
