What do we have against Chinese at this point ? They are the fastest
growing economic force - seems smarter to learn Chinese than Spanish at
this point.

Happy Year of the Rooster

At this point in time, the chinese goverment holds over 40% of our debt.
At this point china has taken over more of our manufacturing jobs than all
of south america combined.

We openned the door to them about 8 or 10 years ago (forget the name of the
treaty) so it's not their fault.

Soon we will have to learn chinese just to do
business in this global market.

Like we have insisted that the other countries learn English to survive in
the past. Now it's somebody elses turn - sounds fair to me.

China will be the next global super power
and we will be the ones to fund their abillity to become that. At least
mexico is a democracy (for what it's worth), but yet we ship millions of
dollars to a communist country everyday. Wasn't communism the enemy just
15 years ago? Don't we still punish cuba for being communist still to this
day? I just doesn't make sense to me to be anti-mexican and pro-chinese.

It doesn't make sense to me to be anti-communist to begin with. Actually I
think it's our "capitalism" vs their "socialism". But since we have more
murders than any other country and more lawsuits and more lawyers and weaker
school systems and more people trying to make it on "networking" than
talent - I can't feel too superior to some other approach. Plus our society
is becoming more and more socialistic and less and less capitalist every
day - and BTW aren't the Chinese just being capitalistic in taking advantage
of an open market ?

I never could understand why we are being pricks to Cuba.
