Sorry, we disagree. The fact is, China has gone outside its borders to wage war several times in the last 60 years. I expect they are building up now (ground, air and sea) and will do so again unless we stand resolutely and treat them as Reagan did the Soviets in his day.

In addition, the ideology their leadership and government continues to embrace compels them to spread the socialist/marxist/communist word as far as they can. Despite whatever happy face is put on it, (and I have been on the ground there and seen it) they are still there and if anything are turning into a more fascist model which could make things even worse.

You are free to see it however you wish and I am comfortable letting others read our views, look into it and decide for themselves.

If the Chinese were to behave as you say, it would mean a complete change in nearly 50 years of its foreign policy, from one of passive bystander to active participant. It is difficult for Communist nations to turn 180 degrees because they have large bureaucratic mechanisms that are resistant to change (in many respects like our State Department). These current trips to S America, Africa etc are no different from the Mao era when China sent delegations to 3rd World nations. They really mean nothing as China is incapable of backing it up with military presence.
