DUDE I HATE CHINA

OKAY, SO THE CHINESE LEADER, HU TELLS THE U.S. THAT HE WANTS NORMALIZED RELATIONS WITH THE U.S., BUT WILL NOT BEND ON ANYTHING, NOT HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS (REMEMBER THE PEOPLE MOWED OVER BY THE TANK IN THE 1980s? NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED) NOT TAIWAN, WHICH SEPARATED ITSELF YEARS AGO,, FOR PETE'S SAKE, AND NOT TIBET.

HU AND OTHER LEADERS WERE PISSED THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS MET WITH THE DALAI LAMA, WHOM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE.

THE DALAI LAMA, A TRULY HOLY AND GOOD MAN, HAS BEEN IN EXILE FOR YEARS.

OUR CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS HAD ISSUES WITH WHAT THEY CALL CHINA'S ENFORCED ABORTION POLICY, BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT OF 1.3 BILLION PEOPLE HAS DECREED THAT ONLY ONE CHILD PER FAMILY IS ALLOWED.

ALSO, THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS A PROBLEM WITH UNMARRIED WOMEN HAVING CHILDREN.

WELL CHINA IS A SOVEREIGN NATION AND AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, WE HAVE NO BUSINESS MEDDLING.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE NO BUSINESS TRADING AND THAT IS WHAT PISSES ME OFF.

POISONED ITEMS HAVE COME FROM CHINA IN THE PAST AND THEY CENSOR FREE INTERNET SPEECH, FORGET ABOUT FREE SPEECH IN GENERAL.

IN SHORT, THE GOVERNMENT SUCKS AND WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY POTENTIAL CONSUMERS, WE NEED THE MONEY, RIGHT?

BUT WHY DO WE NEED THEIR CRAPPY PRODUCTS?

U.S. CORPORATIONS WHO LIKE THE CHEAP LABOR AND EASY QUALITY CONTROL RESTRICTIONS NEED THE CHINESE AND THEY PRESSURE THE GOVERNMENT AND LOBBY CONGRESS TO GET THEIR WAY.

I SAY WE STAND UP AND NOT BUY ANY, I MEAN ANY, PRODUCTS FROM CHINA. I AM SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE, YOU UNDERSTAND, BUT THE PEOPLE STAY POOR.

THEIR SO-CALLED SOCIALISTIC GOVERNMENT THAT HU LAUDED IS A JOKE. IT IS AN OLIGARCHY, A DICTATORSHIP, A REPRESSED SOCIETY AT ITS WORST.

IF WE VALUE OUR VISION AS U.S. CITIZENS FROM A FREE AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY THAT VALUES HONESTY, INTEGRITY, ETHICS AND MORALITY, SOMETHING THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS NEVER, EVER, HAD, NOT FROM THE TIMES OF THE EMPERORS, THEN WE SHOULD STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH CHINA.

FOR ALL HU'S ASSURANCES THAT THEY ARE NOT SEEKING TO HARM US, THERE WAS A THREAT THAT IF WE DID NOT DO THINGS HIS WAY, THERE COULD BE AS HE PUT IT, "TENSIONS" BETWEEN THE TWO SUPERPOWERS.

I GOT YOUR TENSION RIGHT HERE, HU.
