#1 It's because they simply don't know much about China, but they know that they hate America. Just wait...

#2 "Well, yeah, the Chinese have contempt for anyone not Chinese....except for the people of my country. Really. They told me so. They wouldn't lie, would they? Only Americans do that. BTW, the damn Yankees are late with the check again..."

#3 Cool. US weapons exports will explode. Combined with a rational trade policy and the US will become a net exporter again.

#5 In the same vein as Ed, anyone else notice how many recent sales of F-16s, F-18s, F-15s, Patriot missile batteries, reconditioned UH-1s and M113s have gone through? Seems like everyone in SE Asia is suddenly stocking up on used American weapondry : including the Red Chinese if and when they can steal it.
Plus Taiwan just approved about 50% of the last big weapons package we offered them, and Singapore is making noises about Aegis-capable ships. Also, there was some noise from Vietnam recently about getting spares for some of the M113s and UH-1s left there.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.

So, how's all this killer toothpaste and pet food making it to the aisles of our trustworthy food (etc.) stores? (I never thought we'd actually devolve to this point). Dear Lord, Please deliver us. AMEN

#7 a majority of citizens in eight of 14 countries surveyed (and a plurality in four) expect China to catch up with the United States economically and that they are not worried about it.

Just so long as America gets a thumb in the eye.

However, the poll also shows that a majority or near majority of respondents in most countries do not trust China will act responsibility beyond its borders.

But America will always save us no matter how much we spit on them.

When is this irrational anti-American shit going to stop? We need to leave a couple of nations out to twist in the communist Chinese breeze, pour encourager les autres. Evidently, the mineshaft canary known as Tibet didn't trill loudly enough.
