I am much worried about the increasing number of left leaning American bigots. At least the Chinese share our objective of improving peoples lives (although they're doing it hte hardway).

The only man who can keep this country strong for the next 8 years is John McCain. Other countries know better than to mess with him. Obama is weak and they know it. Obama wants to eliminate our military by cutting it back to nothing. Want to speak Chinese……vote obama.

I am far more worried about Obama being President then I am of China…..China at leasts gives me a product for more hard earned doller Obama wants to take 59% of my check and just give it away

Hmmmm… So Bush is the cause of the China Syndrome? Wake up; our nation has been in China's pocket since the 70's. I will break it to you moron Dems; McCain is a liberal Republican! You are all sheep. Obama isn't the answer. Stop blaming the Republicans, for what, two years now the house and Senate have been a Democrat majority and what has happened - nothing, but the same old bull. You want change? Start by setting term limits for the geezers that make a career out of politics. Kick fat teddy and Byrd out and replace them with some fresh blood.

Hey fools, Bush didn't get us in debt with China…….your beloved democratic controlled congress did.

Well, elect obama and you can be sure America will become a second rate country. Don't you remember hearing him say during one of the dabates with Hillary Clinton that America needs to get off her high horse. I'm just really sorry that obama supporters are so blind.
I read their post and they are really scary because they are so uneducated.You really do need to face the truth about obama before he has the chance to destroy this country.

PUMAS:
Pretty, Uneducated, Moronic, adolescents! You lost get over it! We aren't fooled by you fake Hillary supporters, we know you're repukes in disguise!
Rock on Obama! Own the racists!

Let's see we have 700 billion dollars going out of the country for oil. Approximately 300 billion going out to the Chinese. It's not going to take much for this country at this rate to be dirt poor. The Democrats have control of Congress since 2006 and done didley squat.
Now we get Obama elected, we are really in trouble.
America wake up, vote out all incumbants. Once a politician gets elected, he/she feels safe and does whatever he/she pleases. We have some real loosers in Congress and most believe it or not are Democrats.

American should be more worried about the future than the current debt. Just a few days ago I even heard American school system are cutting back to compensate for the higher fuel costs, education for god sakes. When a country sacrafice its education for a few more miles in their SUVs you'd be very worried abotu its future. While Americans are considering reducing the average school week from 5 to 4 days, China and India are investing billions in building new schools and are effectively running on 7 day school week.

In 20 years, when the education investment in China and India pays off, America will be fliping burgers while even F22s need to be manufatured in China.

Good luck

The Chinese, and most East Asians, seem to have little tolerance for social parasitism, personal moral abdication, and out-and-out degenerate behavior.

Since the current Western political order seems to actually encourage the above, maybe a world run by the Chinese wouldn't be so bad. OK, so the environment would be ruined within a century, but maybe with the aforementioned social pathologies done away with, we could actually get down to the business of colonizing other planets. (Just doing a bit of long-term thinking here, like the Chinese.)

America should accept change. Gone are the days of military imperialism and economic manipulation. Accept globilization. Iraq war was a terrible mistake for the US. Iran war would be the end of America. Americans generally should accept change.

I know CNN is just another policy ton extend the above so they may choose not to post this comment for political reasons. Here in Africa people do not appreciate the contents of CNN as it has proved to be more of the REPUBLICAN media.

They are bluffing. They can't get oil fast enough to grow. They will continue to evict their citizens to suit the Olympic world stage and refuse to recognize Tibetans rights for freedom. I refuse to watch the Olympics, it has lost all of its flavor.

I'll take down home honesty any day - the elitists that wear $520 loafers and left disabled behind don't cut it with me.

"FEAR NOT…the Barack Messiah Obama has promised us 1000 years of peace, socialism and higher taxes and he will have a chinese dialogue."

GOOD WORK, BUDDY!!! you quoted it verbatim, Rush and Carl will be SO proud….

if you actually READ FOR YOURSELF, you'd see that almost NONE of what your white house shills tell you is the truth. it is all political rhetoric; you guys have already showed them that you take what they say at face value and they USE that for their political gain.

China's human rights has not caught up with it's ecomomic growth - one without the other will undermine China - one way or the other. So China, needs to get let go of it's repressive and controlling government and grow up.

While the media gets you to focus on th enext gay couple having a baby or illegals demanding rights the people who want to attack America are quietly walking across the borader and doing just that. Wake up America you are being had!

China's economy is already larger. We owe China. With bush administration and a mccain administration, they will wait for us to finish our selves off.

Of course we should be. We have given the country to corporate america to run for us for years. Not just with Goerge Bush but all the way back to JImmy Carter. It is time to break the hold of corporate america and the whining left wing liberals and become a great nation again.

I hope they keep Bush and his 747 super-gas-saver-plane as partial payment for what we owe - he he he he he hehe he

Hey - run down to Walmart and buy some of their products !!!!!! Build their strength even further.

Bush/Cheney have already sold us to China - now McWarmonger wants to sell the rest to the Oil Companies.

We are right to be concerned about China.
Bill Clinton took campaign money from the Chinese and then sold us out with terrible trade deals with them. Now we have to deal with the mess.
Unfortuantly all Democrates know how to do is raise taxes. Wonder if they realize they can't raise taxes on the Chinese? Obama will just dazel them with a speech and all will be right. They will chant Obama! Obama! Obama! And the Chinese leaders will open up their markets to free trade with US companies, and stop infringing on US patents and copyrights.

During today's (8/4) "Situation Room"–right at the 3:35 p.m. PDT mark–Wolf, as he was breaking for commercial, teased us with the following:

"A campaign surprise! One voting bloc defecting from the candidate most experts would expect them to be backing…"

But, that was it. He never came back to the story. To whom was Wolf referring?

ONE WORD FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO READ. READ!!!! Next time you purchase an item look at the label. NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MADE IN CHINA!!!! Economically smart but Americans are so caught up in me me me give me give me give me instead of working together as a Nation.

If you can't take the time to buy goods from someplace else, then be quiet and mind your own business. The way I see it, if you buy Chinese products you can't complain. For that matter, I wonder what Lou Dobbs' house looks like. I bet its packed full of imported goodies. Anyone want to guess where his flag lapel pin was made? How about his fridge, his microwave, the materials in his cheep suits? Any takers? Huh?

"The president's announcement earlier this year that he was going to attend the opening ceremony met with criticism from a number of politicians and from Chinese dissidents. But the new survey indicates that Americans are OK with the president's attendance. Sixty-three percent of those questioned supported his decision to go."

To be honest, I thought it was the right thing to do. I don't want to make a political statement about this, this is about our worlds athletes. Is just unfortunate that it had to come to this.

But you know what guys? We probably shouldv'e worried about China the last couple of years! These guys don't play around! And you know what guys? You know Lebron James, right? Famous Basketball player here in the states. I remember a while back when he said that he was gonna speak up at the Olympics, you know, something like that. Did you know what I said??? I said, "Well…..we'll see how a tough guy he is then." And just a day or two ago, he changed his stance! You kow, focus on getting the gold for our team U.S.A. But this is what I'm saying guys…

If he or anyone on that matter wouldv'e stand up to China or whatever, I personally believe it will decrease our diplomacy with China. I don't want that from our athletes most importantly, especially China because they have BIG population of NBA fans and if anyone in the team wouldv'e stood up, I wouldv'e been very disappointing..

Hey look on the bright side, at least our world arthletes are gonna compete. Just hopefully, hopefully, nothing unfortunate happens over there…

*************************************

WE CAN ALWAYS NUKE 'EM.

BOMB…..BOMB…..BOMB

THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT DEBT. THATS THE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN WAY.

ANYBODY AGREES THIS, DEFINITELY SHOWS THAT THERE ARE STILL ILL-EVIL-MINDED PEOPLE THAT DEFIES THE TEACHINGS THEY PREACH.

You all obama people, Only obama-KING can safe us. He going to ask us study chines lang…not french.What a chance ?.. All his chance for dumb people, who trust him. He flip-flop on everything. Now Florida and Michigan. WAKE UP AMERICA.

I don't care if we bomb China or Iran, so long as somebody gets bombed.

China is not a threat to anyone. The chinese people are great and take care of their people. The threat to the United States and to Western Civilization is from the Islamic Jihadists and their supporters in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Pakistan, Indonesia and West
Africa. These Relgious fantatics want to kill all of us and do so in the name of Allah.

China is not an economic threat to the U.S. Yes, a lot of stuff are Made in China. But if you look carefully, the brands are American, European, or Japanese. The Chinese own very few brands. These companies can move the factories out of China any time they want. If you buy a Dell or HP computer that is Made in China, you are buying a product with components from all over the world.

Right now, countries are all linked together economically. Any attemp to break the economic bond between the U.S. and China will hurt BOTH countries badly.

I think China will not be a big topic in this election. Both McCain and Obama are smart enough to realize there is a mutual beneficial relationship between the U.S. and China.

Every single comment in here is ridiculous. What a waste of time. You've accomplished NOTHING with your little rants. I can't believe I read some of them. Try not buying so much junk "made in China" every time you go to Wally World.

McCain should have gone to China instead of Bush. Imagine him telling Bush to be careful what he says. McCain should keep his own counsel.

If you really want to know what kind of a threat China is, watch what they DO and not what they say for the next 3 weeks.

"Threat" is a strong word for a Free Market in this Global Economy. Especially when our government borrows from China to keep the US economy going. No wonder other countries despise America for its greed. If we are not better than everybody else militarily or economically then they become the enemy. This very thought has become our demise.

hold on all you fellow Americans - remember this - America is a superpower only after the world war I. The ancient super powers were India and China. We see the trend going back to the ancient days. The world changes, nothing is stable in this world. Not even our lives, we all are gonna die some day. For all people complaining about "Made in China products" - imagine the product was made in the USA, then u can't even afford the price.

ONE EXAMPLE: I sell in Ladies Shoes at a major department store. You would not believe the number of very famous shoes that are made in China. From Cole Haan, Coach, Calvin Klein to Nine West and Guess. We carry tons of different shoe vendors and very few are made outside of China. LADIES, LOOK IN YOUR CLOSET. I DARE YOU TO TELL ME THAT MOST OF YOUR SHOES ARE NOT MADE IN CHINA. WE are the reason for the increase in China's strength. We employ many of there citizens there. Too all voters. MCCAIN HAD 26 YEARS TO HELP STRENGTHEN THIS COUNTRY. WHAT HAPPEN?

Well, duh.

Oh, yeah. Bush is responsible for everything. Lord you Libs are a droning noise. It's like a Buddhist chant. Yep. George created Communism and all of the Chinese ideologies.
There are not enough air sick bags in the world to accommodate you nauseating boobs. I wish I had the rubber sheet concession at the Democratic convention. Cry baby, bed wetters.

The issue is not that they are a threat - the fact is that they are doing better than Americans economically.

Over the last eight years the Republicans buried you. You have finally started to wake up.

In Canada we sell more minerals to China than the US. They are building cars, machinery and they have better technology.

Ironically they are going to build the first car that does not run on gas and you will be still drilling for oil. They will have the better technology while you guys are still using cell phones

Wake up America or you will become a third world country, still fighting in Iraq because you “don’t like to loose the war”.The ultimate distraction from what is really going on…

Wake up AMERICA before it is too late.

Coming from a friend – in Canada

"Wary"? That's an under statement. Once a Commie always a Commie. Those parasites would love to have America's natural resources. They're worse than the USSR where some minimal value was placed on life. Human Wave sound familiar. It's nothing the Bose Wave.

And the reason why we think he should attend?

Because we prefer him to be ANYWHERE but here!

Bush and McCain, Please go and never come back!

Thank the rethugs for all this debt they have us owing China…..but oops its not the rethugs fault its Obama……..oh I forgot he is inexperienced……..so what it couldn't be our debt; him and his pastor got us in this mess……..dumb a55 thuglicans

John Williams, that is exactly the type of sacrilegious reference McCain encouraged with his ad. Shame on you and John McCain! There is only one Messiah, and that is Jesus Christ. How dare McCain advertise this type of blasphemy, influencing people to use as religious mockery! That type of immoral behavior deserves no place in the highest offices of this country with its religious freedoms!

I wrote this before and it made sense. Because you didnt think it worthy,you didnt print it, so I wrote another stupid thing and voila, you at least gave me waiting moderation.
Look China is building an army becuase they know the dollar is losing value and we are deep in debt to them. They know our greedy oil companies using Bush have placed us in a vulnerable position. They will become our biggest competitor in the purchasing of oil. Where are we going to get the money to compete. What are our politicians doing about this dangerous situation? They are clammering for more energy saving devices to eliminate our depence on foreign oil. Nothing could please China more!! it would be hard to fight a war(and it will come) with wind blown army tanks and energy saving light bulbs. Once China controls world wide oil markets, look out! Your next ballots might be printed in Chinese

Simple Tax corporate America the same rate as after WWII and China,Japan,and Corporations wont matter.Only the American people will win.Just like the constitution says,"Of the people,by the people,for the people."

While Bush has worn our Military down in Iraq. The Chinese have built up their own military with 'Our Money'? We are in debt a Trillion Dollars. China is fat and happy with US Dollars and is putting that money into new jets, ships, submarines and nukes. Bush is killing us and McBush has already promised 'to stay the course'.

I donot want Bush to go anywhere. I think he should stay in his room until his term is over. I am so tired of him going outside of this country and making us look like idiots. Everyone thinks Americans are extra slow since Bush has taken office. Stay home Bush.

Bill Clinton knows what he did, he's a smart man. What he didn't know was the tenacity of black people to stand up after being run over by a bus.

Wiping the tire marks off, and will be voting in November.

I was thinking about taking spanish as a second language, but if Mcsame gets into office I'll chage it to Mandarin Chinese.

Wake Up America!! OBAMA 08

To a house divided - your comment has nothing to do with the article.

CNN - this isn't anything new. The US in its rush to "Globalize" the economy, has invested billions of dollars in China, which in 1999 was an "emerging" country.

We (the US) complain about its "human rights" violations, but yet still shifted our economic focus there. The olympic committee gave them the Olympics (over a US city BTW).

Wal-Mart, back in the day used to push its "buy American" theme, now everything on the shelf is made in China.

They continue to make products that can kill us and we continue to buy it.

Can't really blame this on Republicans, but China came out of an emerging company during President Bush's term………..hmmm……..

BTW - they are a Communist country, but we did business as usual with them.

> BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA A CANDIDATE FOR CHANGE ON
>EVERY ISSUES IN EVERY 30 SECOND YOU CAN BELIEVE FOR
>SURE

Truly a reflection on the moronic underbelly and a prime reason why China now owns your rear.

Hahahahaha. China owns us? Hahaha. We have a 14 Trillion dollar GDP, and we owe them only billions. We could pay that off in weeks, lol. However, I do believe we need to look into it and not borrow so much money from them. It's not just the money we owe them but all the interest which adds up. And a lot of it is for a tax stimulation package just so people can go out and buy Chinese goods with it. We borrow their money, so we can buy their products, and pay interest on it. Just plain silly.

and the fact they can torpedo our economy at any time they want. between all the us dollars they have accumulated and the financing of the war on terror, they own us.

I don't think Bill is a racist. I think he is an opportunist. When he is winning he loves black people, when they don't vote his way, they've got to go down.

I'm wiping the tire marks from my back, and I will be voting for Barack Obama in November. Thanks Hillary for dropping out, you could not win mathematically anyway.

America's economy is larger than that of Switzerland's too, does that mean that we are an "economic threat" to Switzerland? I'm so sick and tired of the American "us vs. them", "everyone else is an enemy or challenger, mentality. We should be glad that the Chinese are becoming successful and we should welcome them as economic partners.

China is both a Military and Economic Threat to the United States.
However the biggest threat to our country is in this race for the Whitehouse. The leader we choose this election will determine what this country represents and how we will continue to be the beacon of
Democracy. That is why I am determined that no Socialist/Marxist
leader will ever get elected to the Presidency.

Our forefathers placed a condition of being president that the person
be a United States Citizen. They envisioned a scenario like this one.
We have two people who were not born in the U.S. vying for the highest office in the land. The question is which one of these foreign born candidates will protect and defend the interests of our nation.

The answer. John S. McCain. Who willingly went to war, risked his life and has always been for the United States. Enough said.

Go ahead and vote for McCain all you PUMAs. I hope that you are fluent in Cantonese because they will own your jobs, your real estate and most likely your future. McCain describes himself as an "unapologetic supporter of NAFTA" (July 14, 2008), so there you go.

Why leave a comment? You guys don't even let me have a "waiting moderation!

They don't have to threaten the United States with their military, they will conquer us with their cheap toxic products filling our land fills.
We allow the cheap and toxic products to enter the U.S. that fall apart and end up in the garbage.

I would be willing to be 5 dollars that most of the people you "polled" can't find China on a map…LOL

But they know that we are in debt to their human right violating selves.
Why are we in debt to China? Of all the freaking countries to be in debt to…THESE GUYS?!?!?!?!?!

hELP US LORD help us

Here is McCain solution, put a missile shield up in eastern Europe. As response Russia will put up a missile defense system in Cube and give them some bombers..

Reminds me of good old day in the 50 and 60… be afraid of everything that moves… even your own shadow…

well guess what America, we lost the economic race, we are not number one any more.. and on top of that we are begging to loose military power. We have so much tied up in Iraq. and China and Russia have nothing tied up.

The Bible called them the "yellow hord" if Im not mistaken,correct me if Im wrong.

It is past time for the U.S. Government to become wary of China in all phases of economics, military, science, technology, and manufacturing. Most Americans don't even realize how huge and powerful and well trained the Chinese Military has become. Plus, China has a close and continuing relationship with Iran and Russia. There is cause to be suspicious and wary of China. No country on the face of the earth has developed so quickly, almost overnight, since mankind began. Yes, China is scary. However, China has built itself rapidly due to Western know-how, education and technology; China was spoon fed by the West. The West may end up being regretful of sharing so much with China.

Give China and Russia enough rope, maybe they will "Hang each-other". The USA is "Adrift". China and Russia too close to each other..

TRAILDOG,You may have missed your calling,"Jack commercials".

China's economic & military strength is what americans get for George Dubya & the john McSame republican party outsourcing american jobs overseas!

John McSame judgement = brain paralysis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hey, Texas Trail Puppy, put your hat back on. You're getting a bad case of sun stroke. It's pretty obvious that the "trail" you're on never actually got near any educational institution. You're angry and ignorant. Those are two characteristics that make you someone no one really wants to hear from. You're about 15 sunny minutes shy of pushing a shopping cart and raving to yourself.

And, oh, by the way, see that little key just above the one with the arrow on it? That's called a Caps Lock key. Press it to discover a magic function of the keyboard (upper AND lower case).

Now, re-read the article, and try to make a comment about it. I know it's tough, but if you keep taking your meds and stay out of the sun, you'll do a lot better.

I'm so glad the Olympics is only on one channel. I'll try to watch the other channels and boycott.

Obama 08

Bush is a fool. China is playing the world like a fiddle. I'm boycotting the Olympics in my home. I'm reading more, or doing something constructive. The communist may make the Chinese watch the games, but I'm still an American. I won't watch any of it because every bit of it is on the backs of people who didn't have a freedom of choice.

When it comes to the Olypics, the only O I want to talk about is Obama.

O/08

China has done little wrong regarding the U.S. Yes, they have internal issues. Yes, we need to encourage them to move forward. Yes, they are, in fact, moving forward - quickly in some ways, slowly in others.

Our China problem is mostly our own doing. It is not their fault that they have taken all the money we have paid for their inexpensive manufactured goods and invested it in U.S. debt…;. and it's our own darn fault (especially the Bush Administration) that we have run up $4 trillion in debt in 8 years.

Bold action is our only viable course of action and we will not get it with McCain. McCain would be a caretaker of the office of President. You want bold, visionary leadership, vote Obama. Lay your fears and cynicism aside and vote with optimism and, yes, hope for a better future.

When Obama says "WE are the ones we've been waiting for", he means that the American people need to take the future into their own hands and it is "we the people" that must take responsibility for our future, not to wait for someone else to do it for us. It is not a statement of arrogance, but of recognition that the power lies in the people, not in one person (the President), or in Congress. We must pay attention. We must be involved. We must make it happen.

China has got off easy over the corporate sponsored Olympic craze. Look closer and you will see we have every reason to target China for unfair trade practices. How about pegging their currency to keep it artificially low giving them an unreasonable advantage against other countries who play fair and allow their currency to float. How about their extremely protectionist regime, you can deal business in China so long as the Chinese government approves so the cash flow ultimately ends up in a single direction. The Bush policy towards China was outright idiotic, he got so caught up in nation building in the middle east he overlooked the largest economic threat, a powerful protectionist regime sucking in money and jobs from around the world.

Keep taxing our companies into moving and China will be ahead sooner than we think…

Buy hey… Change is in right.

Revise NAFTA. America has not been ready and does not have the regulations and foreign policy to do business globally at the same time to protect America's interest; especially dealing with China, India. Some of the countries naturally historically possess the conquering mentality and huge patience.

"that most Americans think China is an economic threat to the United States"

DUUUUHHHH, ya think?!?!?!? we DO owe them billions, after all!!!!!!

but, by all means, if you like being under the thumb of a COMMUNIST country that doesnt particularly care for us, go right ahead and vote for mccain so we can stay vulnerable to china's COMMUNIST whims. (heh, he, do ya like how i did that, highlighted COMMUNIST, cuz you see we all know your Top 10 Phrases Rightie Rednecks Hate—and pinko commie is right up there!!! right after "The Democrats are the Party of Tax and Spend"—man, you guys will believe ANYTHING the whitey righties tell ya!!!)

Who are they asking these questions? I've never received a call from the pollsters. Because if I had, I'd have told them that China's the least of our worries. John McCain may end up being the next president. China pales in comparison.

I have said it before:

Obama played the race card against fellow democrats- thinking it would not matter to them in the end… Democrats would vote for him anyway…even though he played dirty, denigrated them and insulted them.

I think that has backfired.

No one cares to be offended and insulted into voting for Obama.

We will only vote for Obama if Hillary is VP, Pennsylvania voter for Hillary and we do not believe Obama can make it without Hillary nor do we believe that he will be effective on the world stage due to both lack of experience and being viewed more as a celebrity than as a Presidential candidate!

FEAR NOT…the Barack Messiah Obama has promised us 1000 years of peace, socialism and higher taxes and he will have a chinese dialogue.

china has the u.s. grabbing its ankles.

Reason number 1 to consider certain protectionist measures on the U.S. economy.

China is protectionist as well… We should demand fair trade practices from them (e.g. realistic prices that result in fair wages for Chinese workers and unsubsidized food markets) to even the playing field and bring back the viability of American production.

Right now it is the equivalent of China and the U.S. both starting on the U.S.'s 20 yard line each possession… China has a tiny distance to go to move their products and grow their economy while the U.S. has to march the whole field.

As long as Bush is in office and if McBush becomes President, our economy will continue to fall and suffer.

Just say no to: Bush, McCain and the GOP

Obamanation '08

YES WE CAN

China is buying top secret military equipment from Bush now. It started during the Clinton administration but continues today. What a tradition this country has started the rich sell out our countrymen for more money! Oh my source for this info came from the Magazine Soilder of Fourtune and the Freedom of Information Act.

Obama has an enemy and it is his own self:

I have voted for black candidates most of my adult life - here in New York City. When I supported Sen. Clinton over Sen. Obama I became caricatured along with other Hillary fans as racist, hillbillies or angry white folks.

Guess what ?- Sen. Obama's skin tone makes no difference to me - he is very attractive in many ways but he is a lightweight in heavyweights clothing - I will vote for him reluctantly but many former Hillary supporters will not.

It is heartbreaking to fight your whole life, as have the Clintons, for social justice and have a bunch of naive overgrown frat boys with blogs and TV shows call you racists.

That is why Obama is not surging in the polls - Many loyal Democrats are spent from the primary and will not come home.

- Shame - We do not need the bigoted freaks in the Republican party - the enemy is within.

The issues has nothing to do with Bush, Obama, or McCain. This has been going on since Nixon, Carter, Ronnie, Clinton, and Bush Sr. If we did not export the production jobs to China and else where this would be a none issue, but we would rather have cheaper goods. Do you really think Obama or McCain will make economic issue go away in a few years since this has been ongoing for 30 or so years??? Please. As for a military power, yes they have the man power, but we still hold the tech edge that is most likely shrinking.

Those idiots will elect Mccain again then they do not have to think about china treat, China and India will be the super powers if Mccain is elected predient. You better believe it America.

The Americans that have enough information ARE RIGHTLY WORRIED. Were China to call in the 10 trillion in debt, America would default, and the basis for the NEXT great war would be in place….

and the republiCONs would all set to PROFIT from it.

Anyone who doesn't think China is an economic threat is completely out of touch. My guess is China is laughing at Bushco trying to surround them militarily, because watching the US crumble economically is much easier than fighting a war against us.

14% of Americans thinks Tibet should be part of China?!

Surely they are ignorant to the situation. But, with many Americans supporting the state of Israel, this kind of makes sense.

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

I have news for you all: China's economy is already larger than the US–not in dollar value, but in buying power. As for the military side of things, the US absolutely needs to be put down a peg or two and China and Russia and Brazil need to rise up in power and put some limits on the gargantuan militarism of the US.

Looking forward to Chinese world domination anyway. Tired of Eurocetrism in all facets of my life, vainglorius devils and power hungry crackers.

I would not be surprised. Many people are not even aware that even some of the most basic products they have at home are made in China. hope that the next President that we elect will be the one to allay the fears that seem to have some people in a stranglehold. We need someone who can be a "citizen of the world" and while we scoff at learning a foreign language we had better kick ignorance to the curb and get with it for "the times for they are a changin'".

WITHOUT ANY PENALTIES & WHILE ROBING US BLIND.

WE SHOULD BE WARY OF CHINA'S ECONOMIC STRENGTH. LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THE U.S. INDENTED TO CHINA FOR.
LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY AND INDUSTRIES IS OWNED IN THE U.S. BY THE CHINESE. I DON'T THINK THE CHINESE ARE A THREAT TO THE U.S. PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT WE ARE INDEBTED TO THEM AND THE AMOUNT THEY HAVE INVESTED IN THE U.S. BY THE CHINESE HAVING ANY
MILITARY ACTION AGAINST THE U.S. WOULD DETERIOATE THEIR
ECONOMY AND HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN.

Our government has been selling our country to China for years now. They own us. What's not to be suspicious about?

China has always been an economical threat and a military threat. To think otherwise would be follow. THE SUBJECT OF HILLARY AS OBAMA'S RUNNING MATE HAS ARISEN AGAIN CNN's JACK CAFFERTY READ OFF OF HIS BLOGS WELL CHOSEN 10-12 BLOGS GIVING NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE CLINTONS. WE ALL KNOW WHERE THE DRUNK CAFFERTY STANDS ON THE CLINTONS. WHY HE IS GIVEN ANY CREDIBILITY IS BEYOND ME. WHY HE CAN'T READ THE BLOGS 50-50 IS TRYING TO PUT OVER ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT NO ONE WANTS HILLARY AS OBAMA'S RUNNING MATE. CAFFERTY IS TO BE PITIED. ONE THING I DO AGREE WITH IS THE FACT THAT HILLARY WOULD BE STUPID TO ACCEPT A SPOT ON THE TICKET EVEN IF OFFERED. NONE OF US HER SUPPORTERS WANT HER THERE. NOT NOW. OBAMA YOU WILL SINK BY YOURSELF. YOU AND YOUR IGNORANT SUPPORTERS.

I have real concerns that McCain's adoption of Bush's policies will only continue to indebt our children to foreign nations, such as China.

Please vote for fiscal responsibility as demonstrated in a campaign–Obama '08.

As much of a threat as a bill collector times 2 Billion!
Thanks for those stimulus checks, China. Bare with us, will be a while before we pay it back

But this threat, I wouldn't be quick to labeling them anything and starting stupid wars. Unlike Iraq, these guys will fight back!

Obama will straighten this all out. He will go over there ask them if they want change, talk a lot to everyone, grin, and everything will be all right!

Check out the Green Party for real policy change.
No grin - the situation in this country is not funny.
No Empty Suit - we need real substantial change.
No politics as usual - Empty Suit is just repeating old policy.

BTW - The Clinton's are tight with the Chinese, too.

"The public is increasingly critical of China, and worried about China's growing economic power," Welcome to 1998…

I don't believe Americans are wary of the power–as much as they are worried about Chinese products–particularly food additives, pharmaceuticals, vitamins, animal feed–than could cause health/safety issues.

If we become too trusting or to dependant of a nation–whose political and social ideals are of our own we may leave ourselves quite vulnerable to military aggression–preceded by multi-pronged domestic sabotage.

If we don't get Obama in, McCain will sell off what is left of us and put all our granddaughters and grandsons in the draft!!! McCain had 26 years to change! Nothing but more Bush!!! NO OLD experience in Washington again. Pray for Obama!!!

If we're going to improve our world image as Americans then we need to stop looking at everyone as a potential enemy. Shouldn't every nation have a right to grow and prosper? Let alone one that's home to over one billion people. If we start saying "hey you can't do this or you can't do that" then we're nothing more than a military empire and we all know how long those last.

GRIFF,

I WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT BENDING IF I WERE YOU.

Bush has got us so deep in debt with China, he'll attend the olympics and jump through flaming hoops if they tell him to.

But what about the surge? The surge, my friends. Did I mention the surge? The surge worked, we have won (again). Now that the surge has worked, we're going to try the same thing everywhere else in the Middle East and beyond. The surge has made us more safe. Maliki endorsed the surge (actually, idiot it was the timetable). The surge … the surge … the surge … To China with the surge, my friends. It is the answer to any question about war.

BUSH SOLD OUT AMERICA. WHY IS BUSH STILL IN OFFICE?

JOHN MCCAIN, IS A BUSH 'CLONE'

We'd better make sure our children learn a foreign language like Chinese. They will need to work with these people in the future.

Of course they're an economic threat, don't you realize how much money we have borrowed from them to support the war! All the imports coming in building the deficit. Before long American citizens are going to be walking around with MADE IN CHINA labels on their arses…

'Maybe they see the weakness in Obama… "The Guy who bends in a Breeze"'

Hey Griff, is that the new GOP talking point? What has the GOP done for me lately?

WHY AREN'T AMERICANS WARY OF THE CURRENT

ADMINISTRATION & ITS SUPPORTERS THAT PUT US

IN 10 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT TO CHINA.

Americans best wake up out of your slumber. China is a threat on all fronts. My nephew is a lieutenant in the US Army and my first cousin works intelligence at the Pentagon. The Middle East is not as dangerous as China. There are 1.3 billion people in China. China's army is huge. China is now the super military power in the world. Also, economically, everything is shifting to the east. We are having problems economically in the US because for the longest time we held the number one spot at the table. Not anymore. There are other countries that are even with the US vying for top dog economically. China is one of them. That is part of the reason that America has been brought to her knees economically. I was hoping that either McCain or Obama would discuss this issue of China being the super power in the world today.

THANKS TO BUSH…AND HIM TRYING TO PAY FOR IRAQ WAR

Breaking: After responding to the poll, 90% of Americans rushed out to Walmart to buy more crap made in China.

Anybody else remember when Walmart used to pride themselves on selling things made in the USA?

Maybe they see the weakness in Obama… "The Guy who bends in a Breeze"

Competetor? We owe them billions of dollars. They already own us, and unless we get Obama in office to stop the war in Iraq and start paying off that debt to China they may start to take over this country.

China Owns Bush . . He is afraid if he goes there he will not be coming back . . LMAO
