National Debt and Relations with China

[TheMagestik]

thats the problem with americans always want to stick their noses where they are not called. let china handle their own human rights and other issues

[RUFULLOFSHIT]

bring back anti chinese exclusion act in america

[RUFULLOFSHIT]

Stop talking shit about chinese people, fuck it start World WAR 3 with china now. they dont need you to buy their things. dont buy it. shit head!!!! may the best man stand!!!!

[bweazel]

They hold so much of the federal debt? Are you people serious? They hold 7%. Pocket change. They don't hold crap. We shouldn't even take any number seriously until we know how much of China's debt we own. Don't act like there is not another figure to be netted against. There is. The only thing is the Fed doesn't have to tell us their holdings of foreign bonds. 770 billion of 11 trillion is nothing. Oh ya. The Fed holds 50% of the US Debt. Just food for thought people. End the Fed.

[0100OO]

@bweazel Apparently you are the only one here who understands that CHINA is a minor economic strain on the Americans. Federal Reserve 1.18 chart, BOLDLY states that WE OWE THEM approximately 50% of the Federal Debt. Appox 4.5 TRILLION DOLLARS. But most Americans could care less and have no concept of how they are being horribly/Illegally /Royally FUCKED ! I guess they are stupid, they fight over which Party is worse when both parties don't care about the FRB screwing their countrymen. go figure

[purelego]

chinese playing with currency? I thought it the united state.

[homeboy25327]

Honestly, how can any watch this and then continue being a democrat? Seriously, I mean, did these guys make ANY sense whatsoever???

Uh, how do people keep voting democrat...yikes.

[scata99]

This douchebag is shitting his pants at the prospect of china being the next superpower.

[AmericanDemon7]

make the value of a usa dollar a penny for a day and pay the world back, problem solved. the reserve money is unconstitutional anyway so a clean slate can be started. govern a balanced budget law. pay ppl to smoke giving relief to ss money. 5% or more foreign ownership and you get deported.

[xmentheboy]

people like galaxyworldwide877 are complete idiots. Who the fuck cares which country has more weapons?

who the fuck cares if the united states uses them first? i would be pretty embarrased to be in this country if the country uses nuclear bombs without realizing the situation of earth

[clearner123]

USA go to war with China? Lol, where you getting this idea?  USA don't have the balls or finance to go to war with China. The only thing the USA can do is drop nukes and kill innocent civilians, ultimately, destroying this planet.

Most Americans are clueless regarding a private institution called 'The Federal Reserve (central bank).' Ever since it was established in 1913, they've been putting this country in debt. While the rich gets richer and the rest gets the debt. A.Lincoln knew.

[galaxyworldwide877]

It is not China's fault and that was not the point I was making. The U. S. has allowed corporate greed to build this huge trade deficit and place our nation in such a precarious situation. China almost dominated the world long before Europe and is poised to once more. We as Americans simply want to enjoy our dominant position culturally in the world and our status quo.

[excelpp]

Why blame China on something that everybody is doing?

[galaxyworldwide877]

The reasons why China won't demand loan repayment for at least 30 years are: A)the USA is their biggest consumer market and if we collapse they would have to take over the whole 3rd world just to make up for the lost income and B)the USA is anxious and aggressive enough to fight over domination of the world's economy. China has less than 1000 nuclear weapons and limited numbers of ICBM's and nuclear attack subs while the USA/Nato have close to 30,000 nuclear weapons and WILL use them FIRST.

我們已經收到來自中國的產品多年，但所有的發票和目錄的文件，以­英文書寫。我的問題是，如果中國語言使用數以千計的字符，是如何­壓縮到只夠符號，以滿足計算機鍵盤？

[lvzhendong]

[buakawkaoklai]

usa may wage war against china because off the national debt...maybe stage another 911...but usa already looking for trouble in iran and taiwan ...

[dagnemrth]

You know what's wrong with America? They don't realize there's no rule on the international stage. China manipulate the currency? Why don't you? Complaining China not playing by the "rule" gets you nowhere because there are no rules.

What someone should have said was China is doing X and Y, we will do X and Y better, instead of saying, essentially, we will tell them to stop doing X and Y because their doing X and Y does not benefit us.

[saintsdabu05]

The minute China demands US to pay back its $3 trillion dollar debt, USA is fucked

[Bahrainium]

Senator Dodd is a lier, the USA regulates its currency worse than China does, the USA prints money like there is no tomorrow, but guess what tomorrow came and now were are screwed, Dodd wants to give away $700 billion and pay off China first, why? Because we owe them money. Dodd should be arrested, Dodd lies and lies and lies. We are addicted to China's opium. Bye bye dollar, bye bye amerika.

[Bahrainium]

This is the China century, they have the USA by the balls.

[Aaberg123]

Sorry, but is Richardson an idiot? The US owes China huge sums; and he thinks HE is in a position to demand anything? It's the other way around. They call the shots, they have the power and control in any trade negotiations. As much as I would want many of the things Richardson say for China (Human Rights and such), I truly thinks he's delusional about US's position compared to China.

[AlternateArtisan]

Hah,, American's getting a taste of irony.  Not nice when capitalism leaves you behind is it.

[grapplerke]

Wait wait wait, you want to enforce China to take responsibility in Darfur and Burma when America declines to help? And you want to ban China's good? What country's corporations are producing the manufacturers in China knowing very well about the risks? Politicians, nothing but a bunch of critics and Americans are nothing but blind sheep.

[supersuperfish]

RIchardson and Dodd are both idiots

[wuvius]

ban all the toys? who designs them? who wants to cut costs in productions? whos sending all the jobs to china in the first place?

fat guy is an idiot

[richard041]

the fat guy's a fool

[tenzingyatso]

The largest threat to Americas soverignty and security is not terrorism, that idea is a diversion from the truth. It is the criminals in Washigton using your tax dolllar and borrowing from potential enemys creating the $TRILLION foreign debt, the largest benefactor of which is CHINA, a communist country. How did the American people allow this to happen? America has been folled and lied to, while making a few very rich.

[richard041]

having no human right is much better than you american people killing HUMANS in the middle east or anywhere else...

besides, you are killing your own american people as well at the same time...

[hoyzer227]

They should ask why the american economy is buying products from China. Maybe because it's cheaper and just as efficient. The news about not buying products from China because of some hazarderous material is only to stir the economy away from buying. all propaganda.

[TurboLoveTrain]

Democrats for nuking China!

[frodolinkimo]

Super secret video:

watch?v=Lio-Z2taPvw

[wmbdm]

I Agree!

[XionXXXX]

China isn't going to change their age old policies on their manipulated economy which is hanging America by the noose. So let's just keep buying lead products so we can destroy ourselves and the future of America, because that's what China wants us to do.

[lianxiang]

That's a foolish answer.

[benande]

Wake up people. The main issue is that America spends too much. Thus they borrow money. If it wasn't China it would someone else.

Toys, human rights this is all garbage invented to cloud the issue. This has been around for a long time.

The problem is that American's enjoy a far higher standard of living than anyone else in the world. And they can only afford it b/c they borrow...wait a sec.. if you have to borrow, you really can't afford it.

Times are changing.

[lianxiang]

that's the truth

[luisfcayo]

Exactly I couldnt say it any perfect than that.

If any of the presidential candidates said this he or she would definitely have my vote.

Rather than just putting the blame on China "the easiest way out" in order to get votes out of the mostly ignorant population. It would be better to teach the population whats the real problem and benande just mentioned it.

Now that Im thinking recession is a good thing

"stop buying out of control" instead invest in education or something productive.

[pkbarbiedoll]

China devalues their Yuan which places foreign manufacturers (including those left in America) at a major disadvantage.
