Is China a Friend Or Foe of the United States?


China is on a first name basis with the President of the United States and they are a priority trading partner, a status that only a few nations are able to claim. China has bought up much of the US Debt, and provides low cost goods to our citizenry. Still, some feel the Chinese have taken advantage of our good graces and free markets without reciprocating as they should. There are debates on either side of this issue.

Not long ago, I had the privilege of discussing this issue a length with Guang Wu, author of the new book; "China: Has the Last Opportunity Passed by!?" Our debates have run the full gamut, starting from an interview like conversation to barraging him with all the critique of China from the political and economic analysts to the conspiracy lunatic fringe.

For instance, some believe that China is lying to the World Financial community, when they claim that they have secured 8% positive GDP growth this year, and this is why the Shanghai Index took a 20% hit recently. Additionally, when China gave money in stimulus to its various regions, a few of these cities took that money and played oil futures, driving up the cost of oil, which many say is unforgivable, and ask whose team is China on?

Is China a Friend, if so, whose team are they on?

They are on their own team of course, and some say; "they are using the United States as their piggy bank, and cash cow; after all we have done for China, what a slap in the face." When it comes to friend or foe status some retired military strategic planners point to the stealing of our P-3, the hostile actions with our US Navy Ships, the complaints of US Navy ships docking in Taiwan or Hong Kong, the threats of the highest ranking Chinese military men of using nuclear weapons in a Taiwan unification controversy, all way out of line for a nation that is supposed to be our friends.

Others talk about the 6000 spies in our country, the tests of bio-weapons (Bird Flu) on the Chinese rural farmers, the weapons sold to Iran, which were given to Hezbollah, all unacceptable; all issues and part of the conflicts, chaos and controversy concerning China, the world's next Super Power. Please consider all this.
