First presidental canditadate

Read history.

Every country tries to influence every other country, all the time.
America does it, Britain does it, Germany and Japan tried to over do it; nothing new in that zoo.
So why get bent out of shape over China? Unless you don't think your own country is up to the challenge...

Globalist Agenda Works Both Ways

The globalists who have sold this country out to foreigners are now reaping what they sow. Let's see how enthusiastic Steve Ballmer is the next time someone proposes opening a new R&D center in China.

No, should read........

"Capitalist Agenda Works Both Ways".

China as a nation, has a history of being an adaptable, innovative society, with a couple more thousand years head-start on yours.

Do you really believe a nation with so much human resource & dynamism would remain a simple socialist society for ever?

Talk about "not seeing the forest for the trees".

Money has it's favorites, and yours went back to them.

Now its your turn to adapt & innovate, as all Empires must.

Good luck to you all.

Kind Regards...

Who cares about China

We should not do business in China. Human right rules, right?

What about the money?

Such an attitude, is likely to make you poor. But in all serious, they are is a lot of business going on in China. Also, how bad is China really? I personally don't know I only know what the media tells us. Honestly, the media has it own adgenda, which probably has little to do with human rights...

It's know that China doesn't take to kindly to political criticism. But if you study China's history, you know for a fact that rebellions are quite common through out it history. It usually followed by a series of power struggles, wars and death. It's government is rightly aggressive in keeping peace, because it history.

Well if Microsoft and Yahoo don't like it. Go ahead and Merge.

And let China bann them from their country that is all......

Nations should Compete for the LEAST Regulations!

Competition is good, and we will start to see a competition
between nations as to which has the least regulatory monstrosities... Less regulation will fuel investment...
