The two nations are great people in the world ,whose responsibilities are to serve population domestically and internationally. The good relationships between the two countries will benefit the whole world. Cooperarion denotes everything useful for each.

Historically, global expansion, militarily & economically, is the most most used method by superpowers to feed domestic growth and development economically. Asean countries & U.S will have to tighten their alliances and stand against the initial sneaky attempts by China to impose its military and economic will on others during this global economic crisis.

Where is the thought or opinion from? It is from your surrounding, from your learning and being educated. Is the capitalism perfect? It still has a lot of problem, including economy, society etc! Is the communism the worst? It has been changing with more and more values accepted by the world. More and more people are concerning the enviroment on the earth, the problem is how can the world be united as one and what kind of social system can make everyone in the world living peacefully and happily. Can the capitalim make it real? Thinking about its problems!! A growing and being responsible China is welcome by most of the people in the world, but it is also doubting, censuring even creating difficulties by someone in the world. We, as a civilian, need a peaceful world, and hope to live in a riched country or make our own country being riched with our own hands.
Hopefully, one day we can live in a harmonious world, we love each other and help each other without any hostility.

Dear Mr. New, my man,
Were you one of those "miseducated" ? Ha, Ha. Don't be afraid to admit it.
Let me offer a Hanku as follow:
The wind bellows west and east
The sun rise and down
You wan and I win
Thousand years as one day

You lose credibilty with the Chinese and any open minded person who has been to China when you keep playing the 'Communist is bad , tibet , and China is not a democracy ' card. It can be argued that people in the Western countries are so repressed that they dont know it or fear admitting it since it would be uncomfortable. They are clevering fooled and most are just too dumbed down to figure it out. I feel more freedoms and less oppressed in China than in USA which I lived for few years. Any points you give about your 'freedoms' can be broken down and revealed to be untrue , most of them.

Nevertheless, the P3 wasn't on a holiday sightseeing tour of the areas just outside China's airspace. If China feels insecure via our actions, we better recognize the fact that we're the provocative ones. Unless you think that Castro had the right to host Soviet missiles and that we don't have a right to demand that they be removed, these P3 flights are provocative in itself.
Given that no one really wants (or dares to pick) a fight with the United States, why are we being so provocative? Did we think, for example, that Russia should sit back and give us a thumbs up when we surround them with new NATO allies with the breakaway republics? This is crazy! And if the missile shield was meant to defend against rogue nations such as Iran, why did we sign an agreement to install the missile shield in Poland right after Georgia got slapped around in that embarrassing episode of our impotence?
We can't afford any more of these unprovoked aggressions. The Iraq war has drained our treasury so fast that now that we need money to fix our economy, we don't have it. I've always warned that W would take our nation and turned it from the sole superpower to only a pretender. How do we make a million bucks? First we start with 2 million with that old Cold War thinking.

America plain and simple must begin servicing our debts by borrowing domestically via our savings accounts, saving bonds, treasury notes, fiscal reponsibility, investing our treasury funds and adopting a "For Profit" method in our government. By strengthening our lending rules we should be lending out our federal funds instead of borrowing for existence. As an example, the social security trust fund has been plundered for many years by various administrations so that it is empty inviting a crisis. Every month social security has a surplus of money received versus benefits paid and this surplus is used by the general fund with no interest accrued. I propose that we begin with the social security fund, retaining the surpluses to be loaned to banks to ease our economic situation and interest retained in the fund. Regardless of how we approach our situation, we must begin very soon to begin servicing our debt AND limit our accumulation of debt. In short, we must revert from a credit card economy to a debit card economy!!!

It was China that was provocative towards the US from the beginning. The collision of a US plan and a Chinese fighter jet was not the fault of the US. The Chinese fighter pilot was playing chicken with the slow moving P3 and ran into our plan. The Chinese government used this as an opportunity to test the resolve of a new US president. They will do this again. China and the US do not share borders and have no practical reason for hostility. Only our ideology separate us and that is become less of an issue on both sides. Communist China is moving towards a more Socialist quasi-capitalist system and the US under Obama will be moving towards and more Socialist based form of Capitalism. The two should get along fine but not for the best of either country.
