Oh, I forgot, they have no free and open press in China. They have no free press there.
Maybe it has something to do with a lack of a bill of rights that is even remotely compared to ours.
That bill of rights issue is becoming a leveler playing feild these days. One way or the other.

Please read up on Communism. China is not and never was Marxist.

Red China today is just a big of a threat (actually a bigger threat to us), and as bad as it was before big business got our politicians to allow trade with them. Whatever the press said about Red China in the 1950's and 1960's is still true. Until and unless they stop pointing their nuclear missles at us, and until and unless they adopt an American-like Bill of Rights, nothing has changed. |

True.
Red China is an oppressive militaristic dicatorship with no Bill of Rights for its citizens. |

*Some* people do it out of genuine concern for the people of China. Many, however, are piggybacking on the goodwill of humanitarians to subvert the one country that will eventually overshadow America economically and militarily. The Chinese will never overshadow the U.S. in either category, not unless they have a change in government. They're a third world country where half the population can't read.

"All animals are created equal but some are more equal than others."

Given the trends in the decline of manufacturing in the US, the huge debt in federal budget and balance of trade, and the additional US borrowing of another additional trillion dollars each year, the current industrialization and militarization of china, it wont take long for china to surpass the US.
China is growing, industrializing, arming itself, and making huge amounts of money from its trade. |

Reps: 15,386 (power: 32) | | | There's good reason to portray China badly: she's a bad country. That said, as we start to be comfortable with her, less one-sided and more informative reporting has crept into the media landscape (the NYTimes magazine, for instance, has done two very interesting pieces on Chinese figures in the past month or two)

What??
China's literacy rate is 85.2% and will be 99% by 2015!
