Comments on: China Seen As Top 3 U.S. Enemy In Poll
Economic Rival Claims Spot Held By North Korea; Iran, Iraq Get Most Votes In Survey
- Most people vote to list China as enemy No1 is the low to middle-class American who are financially challenged with deep debts and maybe foreclosed homes. I understand you have to vent frustrations and China becomes a convenient target. I visit China often and am very impressed with their economic and social progresses. Most of people from China whom I contact with make conscious choice of pursuing financially freedom at expense of political freedom and they are much better off in both aspects than that of 10-years ago. However, I couldn%u2019t say the same in our country. Unlike most of you, I have done pretty well economically by engaging our Chinese friends though trade and investment. The fact is that we need more friends globally, not enemy! Don%u2019t we have enough enemies around world thanks to our Iraq war and foreign policies? What is to be gained by pushing 1.4 billion Chinese people to join our adversaries? Just image if there is no Wal-Mart with Made in China products and all the goods are doubled in price? I don%u2019t believe our government will bail you out as they have done for Bear Stern and other large corporations. As former Chinese leader states: %u201CIt doesn%u2019t matter if it is black cat or white cat, it is good cat if it catches mice%u201D. So I tell you %u201CIt doesn%u2019t matter if it%u2019s Capitalism or Communism, it is good system if I can make or save money to the betterment of my life%u201D

- "Don''''t you know a thing about finance homey? If China shorted the US debt, it would be picked up by bargain hunters like sharks in a feeding frenzy. Example: China sells $1.00 debt for $0.50, bargain hunter buys the debt, and now has something worth $1.00. Heck the US would love to buy back its debt at a bargain price and who wouldn''''t? The Big Key is China uses the dollar as a basis to set what its currency is."
This is why we need to stop all trade and diplomatic relations. Their huge population is an advantage to them as long as they can have them produce goods for pennies to then sell in the U.S.
If we stop all trade with them their population then becomes a burden to feed and control. I believe we could knock these people back if we would cut them off. We might even be able to send them back to third world status, after all they still have to support N. Korea and worry about Tiawan. - Reply to this comment
- They won''''t have to, All China needs to do is short sell the US dollar denominated debt on the market, speeding up the devaluation of the US currency, which will in turn force OPEC to switch to the Euro to protect the value of it''''s assets, then the dollar collapses, and so does the US.

From the late 80''s to the mid-nineties, Arab owned storefronts in NYC, with very little produce or selling a minimum of cigerettes, soda and drug paraphernalia (rolling paper/ glassine bags)turns out that they were collecting and redeeming voluminous amounts of coupons from sunday papers, circulars, etc.
They''d cash them in as the store receipt and send that money overseas.
Point: We''ve done it before and didn''t learn then. - Reply to this comment

- Lincoln said it: America will never be destroyed from outside, we will destroy ourselves. Our enemies are running Washington DC. Capitalism in America is dead. You can''t have capitalism when your money is being stolen faster than you can save it. On top of that you must pay tax on your fictional inflation "gains" and higher taxes on your really shrinking wages. The dumb as door nails American public has to be fed scapegoats and lies.
