The leadership in Beijing believes that if the US sold F-16s or any advanced fighter jet aircraft or weapons systems to patrol and protect the Taiwan Straits that it would be seen as a hostile move by the US. Fine, let's just give them the aircraft; two squadrons worth, and to India, South Korea, Japan and Singapore too. Why, would someone like me be so aggressive?
Simple, because China is busy selling weapons to every one of the United States' enemies. They've previously sold weapons to the Taliban, and Al Qaeda, which has been documented and is no longer military intelligence secrecy. They've sold weapons to Libya, Syria, Iran, and Iraq. In Iran they now have long range rockets, which are Chinese made, and in Iraq between Gulf War One and Two, they sold telecommunication products used by Saddam Hussein's protective radar system.
That's not all, China has recently sold advanced fighter aircraft to Pakistan, after Pakistan jumped out of a deal to buy US Fighter aircraft after the ousting of "the general," what's his name; Musharef. The United States should help China is anything that has to do with free-markets and free trade, but should be absolutely steadfast when it comes to freedom, liberty and democracy. Let's match not march away.
The problem today in my opinion is that we have a very weak President, and the Chinese sense this, and in my opinion our President's socialist leanings, education, up-bringing, friends, companions, advisors, are dangerous to the future of World Peace around the globe. Whether it be in Asia, Middle East, Latin America, or Africa. And I can provide 50-examples of real events and issues off the top of my head.
It's time we throw away the academia nonsense of the Rand Corporations little paper on "Chinese International Behavior" and face facts. Strength and Honor begets respect, that's how China does, it, so let's show them a little power projection, without the politically correct nonsense.
If China wants to join this world as a Super Power, they need to earn it and show the world that they are willing to play ball, without causing problems all over the world. It's time to have China join the win-win Western World if they wish to partake in economic success of the spoils of capitalism and the benefits of free-markets. Otherwise, back to the stone age; too harsh, well, it's better than being too weak, but alas don't worry not everyone has what it takes to be the leader of the free world. We've all heard about the Peter Principle. Why not wrap your mind around that.
