#6 Pay no attention to the little clown behind the curtain-- the one who comes up with gems like:

"A united world defeated communism."

"No nation can or should dominate another."

Zionism resulted from the holocaust.

#7 This is merely a reiteration of US Government policy, which has recognised Tibet as a part of China for decades, even before the PRC existed.

If we are lucky, hard times. If we are not so lucky, chaos and anarchy.

#12 US Presidents never conceded that the Baltic countries were part of the USSR. US Presidents never conceded that Tibet was part of China. Till Obama - what a tool!

#18 Actually the official US policy is that while we consider Tibet part of the PRC, we encourage the PRC to respect the rights of the Tibetans.

US policy on Taiwan is similar. However, Taiwan is lucrative to us from a weapons sale standpoint.

That's why we (and the PRC) blocked Taiwan from becoming a member of the UN.

There are plenty of other reasons to dislike Obama rather than his China policy. Move on folks, there is nothing new to see here.

If you really want to be scared of China, take a visit to Africa and count the number of Chinese MAMs (military aged males). They are securing the natural resources there without firing a shot.

#19 Can't disagree with ya there Grunt, but what the administration can do is cease public and weapon support, or exit the navy from the theatre. And I'm sure India is just thrilled about unchecked expansion into Tibet, nevermind the Tibetans.

And yes, China is expanding into Africa, and there is no public objection (or hardly even notice of) to that either.

Sorry, sometimes I forget the game plan is the post-american world.
