This thread, for example was about Chinese investments in Iceland. How is giving a perspective that China is a legitimate investor, in a foreign country, going against the ideals of the Founding Fathers of the US?
Read their constitution. Anyone who supports Red China is supporting world communism. That obviously includes the current slew of US liberal politicians who are foolish enough to allow bilateral (such as it is) trade with Red China. Businesses won't stop trading with Red China until that entity gains too much political power worldwide and their livelihoods are surreptitiously taken from them.

You're definitely on the wrong forum. May zot come for thee.

Was there something specific you wanted me to look at in their constitution?

Also, keep in mind, few people inside or outside of China really consider China a communist country anymore. China's educated class know significantly more about the economic theories taught at Harvard and Stanford than Marxism.

And I don't support "Red" China. I support the US engagement with an ever evolving and changing China. The days of Mao are behind us. But many see China in that light (in the shadow of Mao), because they want to, and refuse to see China any other way. But the reality is, China is flourishing because the Western world won. That may sound ironic to hear, but it is true. China could no longer isolate herself and prosper. But instead, gave into the globalization brought about by the West.

Mao would be turning over in his grave if he saw the China of today. Giving into Western influence, practicing free market, etc.

Actually, I'm on the right forum. My political views are not counter to the Founding Fathers of the United States. I agree with them.

Also, we need to keep in mind, many of the global institutions we have today, were started by the West, and eventually led by the US. The League of Nations, for example, was started by the US and evolved into the UN. And WTO, was formerly GATT, which, was started by the West. And the US dollar, is the world's reserve currency. This is why the USSR opposed American policy during the Cold War. It was a battle of which system would win. In the end, the American system of global commerce won out, and even political system.

So, the reality, I support America's engagement of bringing China INTO this AMERICAN system of globalization. It was not China's idea, but rather America's.
