us-china relations

US-based billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya has come under a lot of criticism for expressing the view that people in the US, including himself, don't care about China oppressing their Muslim minority. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60045076 The thing is that "We" don't care. Maybe it's...

At first I couldn't figure out what was going on because the news reported it as China burned papers at the consulate so Trump was closing it. Can't people in consulates or embassies destroy their own papers? But then it turns out Trump ordered the consulate closed then the Chinese burned the...

Since China has been in the global spotlight in recent months because of COViD-19, I thought that we might as well have a thread on the conspiracy theory in the thread title. From NPR, just this past December: https://www.npr.org/2019/12/06/785445079/china-reacts-to-uighur-bill

We do business with the Chinese government to make money. This is a photo I'd never seen before taken in June of 1989 in Tiananmen Square. A disturbing image. You have been warned. https://i.redd.it/mbn5z9cr5qr31.jpg This is a heartbreaking documentary made in 2005...

Trump Is China’s Chump But the TPP would have been a disaster for the US! Why is Trump being being castigated for getting rid of this abomination?

I didn't want this to get buried in the POTUS Trump thread. It's too important. Australia has concerns. US 'threatens to involve Australia in war with China': Paul Keating condemns US secretary of state nominee's comments First an ignorant phone call to Taiwan, with nothing to gain and a lot...

Good for Trump. As a liberal, I have no problem making it clear that we value Taiwan, which has a female president, over a brutal and repressive country like China.

China's J-20 stealth fighter made it's debut yesterday. Many people compare it to the F-22 and F-35 mission-wise, but it's obvious it's mission is something else altogether. A PLA general came close to revealing one of the J-20's missions when he stated that it would "Kick the Door in"...

China’s Greenhouse Gases Predicted to Peak Earlier Than Pledged http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-07/china-s-greenhouse-gases-predicted-to-peak-earlier-than-pledged I suspect that the conservative naysayers in the U.S. congress were more worried about the U.S. holding up its half...

I may have mentioned once or several times in the past the disturbing presence of Chinese Imperialism, and noted China's sabre-rattling over disputed islands in the South China Sea. Things had started to get interesting a few months back when it became apparent that far from disputing the...

Link to article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/17/glorious-mission-chinese-video-game_n_863166.html The United States Army developed a video game series called "America's Army" - simulating realistic combat. I guess it was aimed to help educate/recruit/act as propaganda/etc. The enemies...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/us_korea_north1 are they really gonna do this? NK really is cruisin' for a bruisin'. Maybe its time they finally get it. If they fire one single missile, and its trajectory is within 1,000 feet of an American ship or plane, I say we blow these **** ers back to...

The table listed here shows how much US Treasury Binds are owned by communist and socialist countries. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AgdO92JOXxAOdHRvb0Fpd3NndkFOdVpkY1hzdHhldXc#gid=0 It seems the USA needs Communism to keep afloat.

If you didn't understand all the fuss between the U.S. and China before, watch this video (you have to sit through a short ad first, sorry). Even if it doesn't leave you any more knowledgeable, it should at least put a smile on your face seeing Obama and Hu facing off against each other as...

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/China-official-dollar-apf-1263355013.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=6&asset=&ccode= Never mind that the a falling USD would only impact the price of commodities in China if their currency is pinned to the USD... (edit: to a first approximation, anyway)

Not a good day for Sha Zukang, the Chinese diplomat representing China at the U.N. During a U.N. conference dinner, he got drunk, then got up to speak in front of everyone. His comments on the Secretary-General of the U.N. -- "I know you never liked me, Mr. Secretary-General. Well, I never...

Furr'ners busted! TLDR; It's called "honey laundering", and here's how it works. It all starts in China. China, with access to an incredible supply of cheap labor, is the number one producer and exporter of "honey" in the world. Because they can produce so much so cheaply, they dump their...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100218/pl_nm/us_china_usa Good for Obama. This is a statement for democracy, freedom, and against Chinese tyranny and genocide in Tibet. China needs to learn that the West will not kow-tow to all of their demands. Statements supporting freedom and democracy must...

I cannot believe it...the man's been here more than a day now, and not a single thread about it! My comment -- his visit has messed up traffic horribly, as roads are shut down every time his motorcade moves. Other than that, his visit seems to be going okay.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/oct/15/inside-the-ring-2059116/ Obama ... finishing what Clinton started ... and probably for the same reasons. For those who don't know, Gary Locke is the current Secretary of Commerce thanks to Obama. He lobbied for the Chinese before taking this...

The Buddhist monk arrived in Washington on Monday for a week of meetings with Congressional leaders, celebrity supporters and interest groups, but the president will not see him until after he has made his first visit to China next month. Samdhong Rinpoche, the Tibetan prime...

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-china-tires12-2009sep12,0,7273504.story Why? Barrack is a smart guy. Why is he doing this? Is it because he knows that Americans are idiots, and will support anything that "protects American jobs?" Bad, bad idea.

http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSPEK30866720080424?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews&rpc=22&sp=true I assume this is only news because it's happening, but can a lawyer please tell me this completely frivolous and will go no where.
