Pedestrian, I apologise if my sarcasm wasnt strong enough, I consider the Chinese to be one of America’s worst enemies. Sorry if I didnt make that clear.

Clintonist? Chinese covert Internet propaganda agent? Peaceful? How many wars and disputes have China engaged after WWII? What about Tibet, East Turkistan, Inner Mongul, Manchuria, Taiwan, Spartley islands, Senkaku island; war with USSR, Vietnam, and India? We know China is also evil imperialist of their own. They have strategy of “strategic boundries” claiming waters beyond Australia belonging to them. They attempted to politically colonize Japan and Australia, and pumped money for pro-Chinese parties around the world. They were even spotted for fueling money to a government setup fake pro-China Communist Party in Europe decades ago. If they were peaceful, they wouldn’t want a military in the first place.

Seems pretty obvious to me that this was no rouge operation. Way too many people are just trying to read incredibly complex and incredibly stupid theories into why our peaceful Chinese friends would do such a thing. Why do it? Just to let the US know they can, thats all. And if they can get
spineless US leaders into making treaties which only the US would observe, it would obviously give the Chinese ( and the Russians who have also been calling for the same thing)the long term advantage. Its along the same lines as banning handguns, only lawabiding citizens will follow such a law, a criminal does not care since they already break the law. I am not sure when we are going to see that we did not treat communist russia this way, and thats why we eventually defeated it. The Chinese version of Communism is much wiser because it has allowed some free trade and made itself one of the best places in the world to make money right now. No one could seriously think that by empowering your enemy you will be able to defeat him in an easier manner.
We are only encouraging China by allowing them to prosper in spite of their innately Anti-American
method of government. It could well be our undoing unless we wake up before the Red Dragon burns us into nothingness.

Why do people not see China has the massive, growing threat they are? Are people really that infatuated with cheap electronics, and other consumer goods that they are willing to overlook the fact that by buying goods from China they are enabling this massive Communist country to expand it’s military capability? During the Cold War we would could not have comprehended buying things made in the Soviet Union. So what changed? Not only are we giving China the cash flow to build up their military, but we are also enabling China to build more factories that can be used to build military goods.
My point is, that as long as we continue to support China, we will continue to read about how China has even more capability in space, and is more of a threat to the West, both economically, and militarily.

One reason that the US may oppose banning weapons in space is because we already *have* nuclear weapons in space, in the form of the Ajax Project: http://www.WebFeats.com/EOD/
