To provide a new forum for intelligent discussion, grounded in facts and informed by reasoned analysis. To transcend the toxically emotional and the reflexively ideological. To encourage recognition that the opposing side has intellectually respectable views. To engage the live audience as active participants who will ask questions and decide which speakers have carried the day by voting on the motions both before and after the debate.

Of course it sounds One - Sided, that USA can maintain its Navy in the Pacific, yet when a Chinese fighter goes to investigate a US spy plane off China's coast, Americans say it is China provoking the US. The USA loves to put her nose in the politics of every region of the world.

Can you not see that as soon as American stop being so nerve tight about the bloody MILITARY, China will stop too. China dont go around invading everyone for oil. There is no way that China is willing to expand beyond Taiwan. Let China have it and everyone will quiet down in a decade.

@anglax You don't know shit about that, firstly they bombed major Serbian cities because they support Kosovo BECAUSE Kosovo is now independent-read a huge american military base. You do realize that they bombed major European cities killing civilians and no one gave a shit about that? Dictatorship? Fuck yes dictatorship. The Serbs did a lot of messed up stuff in Kosovo, but bombing cities? Killing civilians who have nothing to do with the war in Kosovo?

@edgerz1551:

It was not "by mistake", the bombing was correct becuase Chinese embassy carried out not only their diplomatic works there but helping totalitarian regime of Milosevic. The Americans did very correct !

1) once you are informed usually the matter becomes clear.

2) there are two sides in debate

[karmlan123]

This guy speak on his side. One Sided.

[edgerz1551]

Well, what happened in 1999 is that the US army bombed the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia "by mistake" (3 killed and many injured). No surprise Chinese are so anti-American at that time.

Pillsbury may be somewhat alarmist but Chinese nationalism and ethnocentrism is just out of control.

You re forgetting that US saved China's ass in WWII with the war against Japan. China helping to defeat USSR? What was the North-South korea conflict about then? China was basicly the supplier of North Korea and still is its best partner. China got closer ties with US but that was all.
