China isn't a bad country. It's just different from the united states. The customs, beliefs and traditions are a world apart from the U.S. When you say that it is not a "good country" you should specify what you mean by a good country. If we point out all the flaws of the united states such as the racial problems and how people are killed every day in the U.S. because of it then the U.S. would not be a "good country". I, for one, think that partnering up with China is a good idea.

Mitt says it as it is. Particularly interesting is that he foresees China passing us up. I guess it's realistic and we can't pretend that it won't happen.

Mitt fans, google this:  ULTIMITT

Seems like people making posts don't know much about Chinese culture...and I don't mean to patronize anybody here.....so yeah..go ahead and be humanitarian, open up and next decade your children will be saying..."I'm an American but my landlord is Chinese. Just because one man wants to move forward in life at the expense of making America vulnerable does not make any sense to me. Good luck..and I hope you appreciate my honest opinion.

@vidkid1 Also I guess the Chinese central government don't really believe Democracy is the cure for everything and they value it much less than US (it's not explicitly spoken but I feel it that way). They don't deny democracy but they don't comply to it completely either. So it's hard to say "not democratic enough=bad" when they hold different beliefs as we do, although it is our opinion that democracy is good. I guess we just need to wait and see how China does in its way in the future.

@vidkid1 I don't know if it is true that the CCP killed many Huigurs, I don't typically trust the news; I prefer hearing true stories from people that I know. But even so between food and "freedom", I would prefer the former. Also the minority groups in China probably have more freedom than the rest, given that the mass Chinese are not that "free"

[MrKnewbee]

@vidkid1 I don't know about Taiwan since I have not been there, although I have lots of Taiwanese friends; but the Huigurs are living fine in China (so are the Tibetans). They even have many favorable policies that regular Chinese don't have since they are minority group. The regions are poor though because it's pretty much desert in Xinjiang and plateau in Tibet, unfortunately. But the economy will collapse without the support from the central government and the rest of China.

@vidkid1 hope u go back to china. i will send the chinese government your true views on them. hopefully u will come back to america in a bodybag

@phil24601 nope ur wrong

[vidkid1]

Let me guess, Ron Paul Groupie? As if America is wrong to support freedom. America has the responsibility to at least stand up for whats right. Read about Taiwan and the Huigurs, see if you think the CCP is right to kill and threaten them. The Huigers want to preserve their culture and have a chance to work. The Taiwanese just want Democracy and freedom. They know their days are numbered and they're waiting and hoping that China will Democratize before reunification with the mainland.

@vidkid1 Hmmm, I guess that's what we get for supporting Taiwan, "Tibetans", and Huigurs.

I'm an American and I lived in China for 3 years. If you don't know that China is an enemy of the United States then I'm here to school you. They cheat and steel from the US and the rest of the world on all fronts. They manipulate their currency to cheat every country they do business with. They use the money to militarize and to create alliances so that they can threaten the US militarily in the future. They see us as an enemy and we are at war with them.
