Finally someone has started to say what needs to be said about China.

The Chinese communist party is not the rightful ruler of the Republic of China, and for that matter is not the rightful ruler of mainland China either. It is an oligarchy whose sole power is from the muzzles of guns and treads of tanks. It should be the explicit policy of all free nations to topple all totalitarian governments. Running up massive trade deficits with China will not magically bring democracy; it will only bring about a huge military (for what? to repel Yak mounted cavalry from Mongolia?) to not only prevent democracy domestically, but also to destroy it abroad where ever it may.

p>The theme of the 21st century will not be the wars of ideology of the 20th century, but will be a massive counter attack of the totalitarians--smart, realistic totalitarians who use capitalism to their advantage--against the very concept of freedom and self government. A dollar spent with China is another missile purchased to kill your grandson later on this century. Happy Christmas shopping. br> -- D. Lewis br> McKenzie, Tennessee /p> p> IRREPLACEABLE br> Re: W.
