Good post. It depressed me to read it, as I have lived briefly in China, and know their game.

Spotlighting China's strategic realism is not tantamount to assuming blanket, perpetual Chinese hostility to the United States, or to accusing China of seeking world or even regional domination. It is simply a way of underscoring China's clear recognition that material national power is the key to national success in peace as well as wartime, in economics as well as security affairs – not the supposed pragmatism-inducing effects of international systems that exist mainly in the heads of American and other globalists.

Free trade bump!

Chinese goods are the bane of American manufacturing. Well, what used to be U.S. manufacturing.

China will be selling inexpensive automobiles in the U.S. next year. I will make a guess that Chinese cars will sell like hot cakes. In about three years, they will make an offer to buy one of the Big Three. Our borders stand wide open. Soon you will need to speak Spanish fluently to get a job in the U.S. In the meantime, high paying jobs are being eliminated. More corporations are sending jobs overseas to India and China. America is turning into a third world country. Motor voter and mail-in-ballots will be among the final nails in our coffin.

Globalists in America are engaged in dangerous foolishness. This is one case where greed can have devastating consequences for all Americans, including those here who stand to profit the most from free trade policies.

Robert Zoellick is just another in a long line of complete idiots who have mismanaged this nation's foreign trade.

My guess is like many others he is working towards a big dollar job with a Washington law firm having Chinese "consulting" contracts. If not then he is an even more complete idiot than I would have thought.

China's main goal continues to be amassing national power . . . [and] . . . enhancing its own power and influence . . . China will not settle for being an ordinary country.

Gee, that goes against what other countries have done throughout history. How dare they.

Chi-com promises of 1.3 billion middle-class consumers just around the corner spur U.S. useful idiots to ramp up their free tradin' transfers of technology, wealth, and production to the heroic peace-loving, capitalist, free, democratic Peoples Republic of China.

Why the Chi-coms don't care about power for its own sake they just loooooove to help the peoples of the world.

Uncle Joe Stalin wanted "true" world peace but mean-spirited Americans wouldn't listen

Bump.
