Seems Im not the only one worried about China.

The list of places you went but were not welcome is as long as my arm

You must have one long arm.

I am only worried about the Chinese market expanding, and threatening local economies...

China is most threatening to us as a major economical power, and to a lesser extent a military one.

China is no threat to the US militarily, and I doubt it wants to be. Why can't we all just play nice and get along? Just because a nation is intent on securing itself, doesn't mean it immediately becomes a threat to others. We had the same situation with Iran. They has a domestic policy of obtaining nuclear power and suddenly their a 'threat'. It's bullshit. The U.S. does this so that it can justify taking billions in tax dollars from it's unsuspecting citizens to spend on defence contracts which, ironically, line the pockets of Bush and his cronies.

Politicians are giving away your freedoms every day.
I'd be less worried about an army of Chinese taking them than I would about your own government passing another patriot act, or amending the constitution so Bush can stay in office.

:lol::lol:

that would never happen. bush would have to kill about %60 of congess then have at lest %66 of the Us population want to have him as leader for life.

China can build up their military as much as they want, they will become the next USSR.

If you've looked at what's going on in your country the balance of power is swinging in Bush's favour, he's removing the checks and balances that should stop him from doing that kind of thing.

no he is not, you cannot edit the constitition to remove those checks without having it approved by 2/3rd of congess and then by 2/3rds of the states, it takes a long time, he would be out of office before that happened. And rember when we went to war with Iraq, Congress approved it, so you should direct your complaints to the 200 or so congress people who voted for the declaration of war, not bush.

Why you are threatened, you don't live in Asia?

Today, you can be on the other side of the world and be invaded.. i.e. Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam.. etc. Not that we are going to be invaded.
