I just saw a program on cable last night and it shows that China has a strong presence in Africa. Wherever there's an abundance of natural resources you can be sure China will want to make a footprint there.
Wherever there's an abundance of anything that can be stolen you can be sure China will be there - including inside American companies ripping off American industrial secrets.
@ T Yes that is true ! The difference between the US and CHINA . China is doing it for ECONOMIC reason , while the US would do it only on POLITICAL reason !
So what? China is wealthy and powerful? What's wrong with that? Britans had its chance as an empire 100 years ago, USA is an empire now and China will be the future empire.
If you don't want war or chaos in the Korean peninsula then maybe you ought to spank your spoiled child every now and then. If we had a president with any balls at all he would tell the Chinese that we are stationing nukes in south Korea until they make North Korea had over theirs.
China's intolerance for war there is matched only by their intolerance of allowing the Korea's to unite. So the world is stuck with that festering cesspool because of China. We should stop all trade with them and stop buying their landfill products. Then threaten to default on our debt to them. Playing nice with China is a losing strategy.
China doesn't want a US backed or other unfriendly country on their border, period. If we stopped importing Chinese goods now stores would actually be empty. The blue collar worker has been sold out by both political parties and it has begun white collar workers.
China, you created this mess and you can put an end to it. Arrest Lil' Kim on his next visit and let the Koreans reunite like Germany did. The Koreans have suffered enough while their worthless mafia leaders do nothing but kill and get fat. The worse of humanity are people who allow such things to happen.
We should all rejoice that WW3 is coming. It will give the American people the chance to eradicate the Chinese thief menace from the face of the earth.
China's message is loud and clear to north korea they will destroy them and install another communist government in its place it they start the war and to the south and the u.s.a., there is no way on God's green earth are they ever going to allow a unified democratic korea.
We can only thank our politicians for the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and others. Why cut a country in half that had nothing to do with the WW2? Why invade a country for no other reason than to make someone rich who make war materials?
is this the democrat international strategy in action? Make everybody fight each other while we pull out create power vacuums all over the world? Post-Obama world: Europe is collapsing, Britain is threatening to exit. Europe is drowning in migrant refugees and experiencing a drastic demographic change. South America's Brazil isn't doing well, even with the investment injection the Olympics brings. Venezuela is collapsing and rationing its electricity. Mexican cartels successfully assassinate a Cartel lawyer in the middle of an affluent town square in Texas (Southlake). There is rioting on our streets (Ferguson, Boston). Missouri has to shut down three dorms to "save costs" at their flagship University. And now China is entering a conflict with a guy who has a nuclear bomb. Just terrific, folks.
How big a moron are you, inde245? Democrats or Republicans, when did they ever control Mexican cartels? Or Venezuela's sub-moronic "revolutionary" leadership that's hell bent on destroying their economy? Or the delusional Kim family in North Korea? These are decades long problems, genius, they didn't just appear with the current US President.
Yet Bush was blamed for Katrina, right? And Bush was blamed for 9-11, right?
But the same standards do not apply to Obama and the democrats? Mexican cartels gunning down a guy in the middle of urban-affluent-community is a big deal. Especially since it was the Obama DEA that ran Fast and Furious and negotiated a plea deal with a caught Cartel Boss to reduce his sentence if the bilked the remaining Cartels of millions of dollars to pay his legal fees. --- The Dallas Morning News reported. Mmmmm. Didn't see that coming, now did you?
Talk is cheap. China could squash NK's bad habits in a minute but China likes that it keeps the US and others attention and way from what really matters.
China wants it all and they feel bad the world does not understand they do not have a choice in the matter. They will bring peace to the region even if hey have to kill everyone to do it!! ^_-
