Hu’s an Economic Threat?

China is a threat, I would not trust them.

China is, has and always will be a threat to the American way of life.
One only has to look at the oppressive manner in which they treat workers, prisoners and the general public; steal industrial secrets, make trading packs with country’s who are America’s sworn enemies. Don’t forget they are one of the top world polluters and couldn’t care less… They export poisonous food, toys and poorest quality goods and couldn’t care less how many people or pets suffer. It is rumored China kills prisoners with a gun shot to the head outside the prison because they can’t house, clothe and feed such a large population of wrong-doers.
When one country has over a billion people, many living in the countryside without any resources – except the regular visit from their Comrade from the Communist party to spy on everyone- they will do anything, seriously – they must – do anything just to survive. Don’t be fooled, a tiger doesn’t change their stripes. They all of a sudden look like they have embraced Capitalism and all the finer things of life in the West… Baloney! They merely want to make cheap goods to export to keep the Communist Party alive and well… Although now they keep the party rhetoric a little quieter than in the past. Don’t be fooled by the new mask at the Masked Ball!
Wake up America before we have to speak Mandarin to buy a quart of milk for our children!

Whining, whining…Did China force anyone of you to purchase anything???

Chinese people do not trust the Americans as usual, the United States is the world’s worst and arrogant country! Why did the” 911” happen in the United States but not other countries? That is reasonable.

“J20″— is most likely an anti-Chinese activist who spread spams in 2008 Olympics. We live in this world by our own credibility. There are people with good and bad credits in every country. Myself did not have problem in Europe, America, or China anywhere. I am confident in every place. As this study showed, well educated are always confident and open minded. Poorly educated struggle in curse and despair everywhere, with nationalism, extremism, and racism.

To all of you who keep bashing China: can you count to, let’s say, ten. If you can, then count the number of wars the US is raging since WWII, then count those China was involved in. Divide or subtract, as you whish, then start thinking…

I don’t know if u are aware that American tv is translated in china shown to the general public, as in many other countries. America, wake up, we spread our culture and military industrial complex ubiquitously and now that the student has become master, we all of a sudden have sour grapes?

Simple Answers:
January 2001-U.S. Debt to China = 61.5 billion dollars
January 2009-U.S. Debt to China = 739.6 billion dollars
Looks like to some people, they were a “banking friend” to pay for a couple of wars while we introduced some “tax cuts”.

Simple Answer:
January 1987 to January 1995 = 8 years of a Democratic congress and according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics data, the number of U.S. “Made In America” manufacturing jobs shrink by 200,000.
January 1995 to January 2007 = 12 years of a Republican congress and according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics data, the number of U.S. “Made In America” manufacturing jobs shrink by 3.3 million.

i like reading all your comments,u give me a chance to see different aspects of china ans america. all in all, we comment to call for something, which can make our life and the world better, i am a chinese but i do feel bad about some of the comments upstairs, i just think how can we make things better and reduce the nagative impression. to american friends, i very much appreciate your comments no matter positive or negative , u criticize our country,because we are friend and cooperator.can u imagine that china defeat us or us defeat china in all aspects? just like sibling,there have been always competition and something can not be accepted or understood. however, we share the same same dreams and burden. taking care of the little brothers and maintain the family.

The most populated country in the world is not a threat to he USA. China has risen to the world power status by being more American in its economic policy. Yes we desire change in China as we desire it in our own country but certain things will not change to our liking and our pace. That is just the way it is and will be. We should welcome the friendship of the American and Chinese people and also welcome the pleasant president of China. Communication is key to any successful relationship and both the USA and China are communicating their individual concerns and paying visits to each other. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. China has a lot to offer the world and we should accept the good that they have to offer with humility.

I think we should break ties with China altogether. They don’t have any of our interests in mind other than the interest on the loans we owe them. And I see the impact of their one-sided trade practices on a daily basis.
One, the company I work for went from 260 employees prior to 2005, to 20 now, all because China can produce the same saccharin we did for a third the price. Why? Because they can pay their labor slave wages, they don’t have environmental controls to worry about, and their quality control is so lax we’ve found twigs and leaves in their product before.
Two, the company I work for owns a 49% share in a Chinese company making product for us to sell here, but we can’t really control what happens because the Chinese government, through its proxies, holds the other 51%.
Three, Chinese laws prohibit any US company doing business on Chinese soil to take any profits from that business back home in cash.
So anyone who thinks China is our friend is in for a rude awakening. They just want to bleed us dry.

“Americans see more economic threat than opportunity in China” … Then quite buying their junk! If it says Made in China then don’t buy it if you don’t have too. Look for another brand made elsewhere (preferably in the USA) or do without if you can. And tell the stores you don’t want Made in China. Learn who carries Made in USA stuff and shop there.

“…just 28 percent in 2001, during an imbroglio over China’s detention of the crew of a damaged U.S. spy plane.” While that plane was still detained, I visited China in 2001 and was delighted to find that the Chinese public likes Americans very much. Even when clearly no tip was in store, we found that Chinese waiters and waitresses liked to hang around American tables. In Chongqing is the “Stillwell Museum”, honoring that WW2 American General who advised the Chinese and honoring Chenault’s “Flying Tigers” whose American pilots saved the Chinese Army. The government in Beijing would have liked the museum closed but the sign in front says in English: “We will never forget what the Americans did for us and look forward to a long friendship with America.”

Hu’s visiting Obama today?
Hu’s visiting from China?
Hu’s a threat to the US?
Hu’s on first? I don’t know. 3rd base!

“Pretty Boy Floyd Boyd”…a fan of the “big hair group” of the past…?

But China’s funding a good chunk of the resoundingly successful deficit-generating programs that Obama insisted upon. We only need fear China’s economy faltering. Without them to fund our spending sprees, we’d actually have to cut spending or be a financial slave to another responsible nation.

China is primarily in the US at the moment to help the US transition its energy supplies.
It’s clear that oil demand (surging on India, Brazil, China) is moving at twice the rate of the oil supply. Deep water oil ventures are also proving hard with the deep water pressure problems (e.g. BP which wasted half the oil well).
As a result, China has moved rapidly over the past year to move towards energy independence, building wind farms, nuclear power stations, now building the largest solar farm, etc.
The issue is the US has become increasingly militarised, and the threat of tea party backed candidates getting near the nuclear arms portfolio in America would doom us all to nuclear oblivion. Chinese leaders realise this, and are giving away jobs to the US to build renewable energy products, in the hope the US won’t spiral into economic breakdown and create extremists silly enough to push the nuclear button.
The problem lies in divided American political culture – e.g. Obama tried to pass an Energy Bill thrice, and was blocked by Republicans who called it a tax and trade. But how else do you force energy transitions? Good will? The free market works on price. But electricity prices don’t affect food and goods transport, whilst rising oil cost does. The US is falling behind in the $6 trillion p.a. renewable energy industry (India signed Japan/Germany in $630 Billion to build solar energy in India), and is imperiling its energy independence and the US economy at the same time because a rattled House and Senate cannot unite to pass an Energy Bill.
All in all, that’s why the Hu’s “first State Visit” is so significant – and why jobs, removing trade barriers in China and renewable energy are so forefront to the discussions.
Renewable energy race or nuclear arms race?

China took advantage of the world and was the lowest bidder for manufacturing. Their people just worked and saved their money. But saving their money did nothing for the rest of the world. China has dumped products on the US and elsewhere for a while. Now the US is in a bad way. China wants to invest some $40 billion in the US said to generate or retain 200,000 jobs. That is a drop in the bucket job-wise. China has a huge surplus in trade but they still haven’t promised to devalue their currency. It is time the US paid off China and then closed its markets to them. Then we’ll see what China is really all about. What goes around comes around. With unfair trade, we need to protect our own country. We’ve been fighting the world’s wars for a long time. Let’s see what China does for the world instead of them greedily looking out for themselves.

@J20: “Chinese people do not trust the Americans as usual, the United States is the world’s worst and arrogant country!”
Of course you’re pulling our leg here. Did you hear the Chinese foreign minister’s reaction to the Senkaku Island dispute incident in 2010?
@LAAZ: “To all of you who keep bashing China: can you count to, let’s say, ten. If you can, then count the number of wars the US is raging since WWII, then count those China was involved in. Divide or subtract, as you whish, then start thinking…”
KOREAN WAR for starters
@H: “we spread our culture and military industrial complex ubiquitously and now that the student has become master, we all of a sudden have sour grapes?”
I don’t understand this post, so it’s okay for china to have a military-industrial complex but not the US?
