Do not forget that it was General Douglas MacArthur was the one who drew China into the Korean War.

As far as Tibet goes, (and I am a Buddhist), the Dalai Lama was a CIA operative and held all of the wealth of Tibet. Under the Dalai Lama, there was no infrastructure. There was no electricity, running water and sewage or trash systems in place. The people of Tibet lived like animals.

Tibet is and has been a part of China, as has Taiwan, that is a fact.

I agree with Pete S. My wife is Chinese and we go back every year. Her family is well educated and professional. I also am related to a retilred four-star Chinese officer.
We talk about all these things on many occasions.

China has no intentions of invading other countries. They just want to be left alone. They have enough problems of their own to worry about without esclating the situation.

Americans have been brainwashed about China. It is just another attempt by the Corporate Imperialists to create tension and sell arms.

Wise up America. China could be our best ally.

i was hoping to hear you call into medved when he had on bernie goldberg….goldberg is scum

The point is our meddling makes us hated not only in the Middle East but parts of Asia as well, and no one should think that a confrontation with China is not possible. It is because of Americans and their cash flow through economic means that China has become the worlds fourth largest economy and may likely someday be first.

People have classically been brutal and at the same time loving towards one another. One of the more moving documentaries I’ve ever seen is one about the Khmer Rouge. The level of brutality and pure evil demonstrated through those years is amazing to look back on. Watching a former torturer explain how it was more of a “torture lest you and your family be tortured” was heart wrenching. But still he tortured without sacrifice, at least no sacrifice of his own. Tyrants are brought down through someones sacrifice.

A great book about an American Communist who gets screwed over in China is “The Man Who Stayed Behind”. Here was a full blown water carrier for the communist movement who fell in love with the ChiCom system as a translator during WWII. He stayed there after the war and did absolutely everything he could to be the best Maoist alive. Not only did he fail, but the system imprisoned, tortured, and re-educated him for 16 of the 35 years he spent there. The worst part was that every time he was arrested and imprisoned, he blamed himself like a rape victim. His Chinese could be better, his understanding of the revolution needed to be refined. He always came up with some excuse for a government that he truly thought was infallible. He was so well known in the beginning of his stay that he even knew Zhou Enlai and Mao. The worst thing the Party ever did was apologize to him for “past mistakes”. His eyes then opened to the possibility that Chinese incarnation of government is the same as everyone elses, faulty. Men who make mistakes cannot create a government free of them. This man now lives in America with his family. Imagine that.
