[quote... The Chinese government killed a few thousand pro-democracy Chinese in the Tienanman Square massacre in 1989 and America barely made a peep. Our software companies even today help the Communist Chinese government seek-out and identify dissident Chinese pro-America writers on the Internet and the government kills them. So why don't we topple the evil Communist Chinese government and free the oppressed people?
1. Because China has nukes and several million soldiers in their armed forces. (They might be able to kick our ass right off the Asian continent in a conventional fight.)
2. They are our business partner now. (This might be better placed as reason number 1.) (I thought Communism was bad?)
3. They ain't got no oil.....

Bill,
The Chinese manace is another very real problem we are
facing as a nation. Unfair labor practices are killing
the American workers dream. We simply can't compete with
a $2.00 per day ( whatever it actually is
) labor rate.
Some fine day we will realize this and stop going to
Walmart for items. Perhaps too late though.....
This country was built on a manufacturing base, not
a service provider base.
Sooner or later, we will zoom in on the Chinese too. But
you are right, they've got us beat via. attrition alone.
However, this is another argument for another day. Let's
focus on this one for now.......
