Early morning TV viewers in China knew it would be played an hour or two beforehand.

BUT, BUT!!!

Bush was an idiot who caused us to “lose our standing” throughout the world!

AND, AND...even though Obama was inexperienced, he assured us he had better “judgement” and would make everyone love us again!

Wonder why China is exploiting weakness?
They own our debt and GE is going to give jet engine technology to China.
Guess Hu and his commie buds have nothing to fear.
Makes me sick.

The Chinese mainlanders whom I have met are, to a person, the most unabashedly racist human beings I have ever met on the face of this Earth. Especially Han. The things that come out of their mouth, even in politically correct society, would make even an unrepentant klanner or a south boston irishman blush.

Did this happen in China or America?

He’s playing here in San Antonio soon. A lot of people I asked if they were planing on attending said...... I’m not going to pay good money to see a Panda.

The recital took place at the White House.

The bigoted Han-uber-alles speech I hear takes place here in the U.S. (NYC mainly) .

Very aggravating these maggots talk like this over here. Americans are far too nice and understanding of other cultures

BTW.... You confirmed what I have heard from others. thanks. Sometimes it seems that 90% of immigrants and work visa holders have anti-USA sentiments. They just come here to have fun, make money, and abuse the natives. We are being colonized

China has numerous ethnic Chinese agents here that feed back vital information on a casual basis. Could be as simple as a Chinese-American fellow working in a private company that supplies missile software to our military. The Chinese guy will leak back to the Chinese military what he has learned and any gossip

Overseas Chinese are more loyal to China or the nation they reside in and were born in? Too many will choose China first

You are exactly right on there. No where else would you find a theme park, which does exist in South China and is VERY popular, celebrating the Monkey King who kidnapped a Chinese princess who thereupon gave birth to the Japanese race.

As for the rest of us, well, we aren’t even 1/2 Chinese. Not for nothing do they refer to China as the middle kingdom, halfway between heaven and earth.

While working in China in the 90’s I well remember sitting through “Battle on Shangganling Mountain” several times with my Chinese “Friends” gleefully belting out the song.

Sounds like the Chinese Commies are still carrying a grudge.

This guy deserves at least a boycott for his little stunt. And frankly it wouldn't hurt my feelings if he got pied.
