Dear starvinginhouston: You can only see two colors: black or white, but turn a blind eye to all the rich hues in between. Many of the problems in China you mention do exist. But what about the good things? What about the benefits from cooperating and working together with China? What do you say to people who only point to Iraq and brand the USA as a single murderous entity who barges into another sovereign state under false pretext and kills and maimes? Would you say that is a balanced view of the United States? Because of your refusal to see the whole picture, what you are advocating is blind confrontation which will create your own worst enemies and lead to mutual injuries, or in the worst case, to war. The world has seen enough blood. Take off the black-colored blinders and see both good and bad. Work together for peace. Don't inflame yourself and others into a frenzy which will bring nothing but destruction!

By the way, while reading your comments, I can't help but feeling that what you are rehashing here is all the xenophobic mud created by biased Western media and governments who refuse to recognize changes that have been taking place in China for the last 30 years. Ever heard of brain washing? Judging from what you are saying here, they have done a good job!
