Can You Believe How Smart China Is?

Here's what I don't get. We know that China has sent us contaminated and inferior products and makes no amends for it. We know that they mistreat their own people and especially their own workers, We know that they hack into our industrial and governmental computers stealing our trade secrets as well as our military secrets and our technology. We know that they vote against us at the U.N. on almost every issue. We know they manipulate their currency to take advantage of us and others. We know they artificially lower the prices of their manufactured goods for profit and to hurt us. We know they require companies to turn over technology as a prerequisite to gaining market in China. We know they pirate intellectual material. We know they are testing cyber attack technology to use against us. And we know so much more that isn't even mentioned, and yet we call them 'friend', trusted 'trading partner' and 'financial helper'. What we don't call them is enemy, manipulator, bad faith competitor. So what I don't get is; Why? Why don't we call them to task on every issue. Why don't we call them to account? Why don't we call them what they are? Probably because they own a fair share of America because of the loans they've made to us so our politicians could continue to give us what we didn't earn. Our problems do not stem from those on welfare, or even on welfare itself. It stems from politicians more interested in reelection then on what's in the best interest of all of us. The problem is, they're still doing it. They squabble over what to, or not to, cut out of the budget and how much to, or not to, give in tax cuts or increases.Ya see? It's not about helping us. It's about helping them. China helps our politicians by giving us money. Our politicians whine about the debt and deficit, but they keep asking for more in loans. China just smiles and hands over more cash. Cash that it took from us, in the first place, by underhanded means. Why? Because China realizes that as long as they give money to our politicians, our politicians will keep protecting China's interests here. So the next time you hear about some food stamp lady buying candy, complain about our politicians. Not our poor.
