Relations With China
As far as I am concerened- the leaders of China are not now and never will be our friends or allies. The leaders of China do not care about anything other than amassing power and destroying their en Contd...
Shock of shocks- today I was reading the op-ed section of the paper and found myself agreeing with the author about American relations with China and the VIP treatment Chinese President Hu is recieving in this country. Both of us agreed that President Hu does not deserve such treatment. My shock was- I was agreeing with Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. I never agree with her.
Her article stated in part "TODAY- PRESIDENT Bush will roll out the red carpet for Chinese President Hu Jintao- a leader whose government brutally crushes freedom- democracy and the religious expression of the Chinese and Tibetan people. Hu will receive the best welcome U.S. taxpayer money can buy- including full military honors and a 21-gun salute.

This is the same regime that provides military technologies to countries that threaten international security- including Iran and North Korea. The same regime that threatens Taiwan with a military attack- detains and tortures Chinese people for expressing their political and religious beliefs and arrests Tibetans for carrying a picture of the Dalai Lama.
While open dialogue is essential- many of us on both sides of the aisle in Congress oppose the celebratory nature of this official visit.

This is not about isolationism. We must have engagement with China- but it should be sustainable engagement that enables us to maintain our values- continue our economic growth and uphold our national security.
Our growing national debt to China is a national security issue. Countries such as China that own our debt will soon not only be making our toys- our clothes and our computers- they will be making our foreign policy.

U.S. policy toward China is ineffective in upholding the pillars of our foreign policy — promoting democratic freedom- stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and growing our economy by promoting exports abroad. Instead- we have pursued trickle-down liberty — promoting economic freedom first- assuming that political freedom will follow. Reality exposes this policy as the illusion it is."
There was more to her article- some of which I agreed with and some of which I disagreed with. The point is- though- that we should not be treating the President of one of our most dangerous enemies like he is a favored long lost friend and ally. He is not a favored long lost friend and ally- he is our enemy and should be treated with caution and firmness. It is right that our President should meet with him but it is wrong that our president should treat him with such a show of pomp and ceremony.
