Are you suggesting my statement about China isn't true? China, in spite of being a Communist nation, enjoys favored nation trading status with the US and is about to join the world's largest free trade organization with the blessing of the USA. Even though China is a communist nation, as long as they sell goods to us we don't care.Originally posted by Mapraputa Is:

I most definitely agree with this one. I'm American of Asian descent and find this sort of comment offensive. I think this goes back to the article on a different thread about arrogance and a lack of guilt.

However your "facts" about history etc are as twisted as your logic.
Where women are regularly raped by Indian soldiers. (You mentioned kashmir for this)
Finally Dawood Ibrahim resides in United Arab Emirates. India has never been able to extradite him given Indian government is much more interested in the Billions of dollars Indian workers send home to India from the Gulf countries every year. And Dawood Ibrahim connection in the Mumbai blasts results from the regularly occuring Hindu-Muslim riots in India having nothing to do with Pakistan.

I think you missed the point. The discussion was about communism. My point is that as long as China keeps its nose clean and trades with us fairly, the USA and the rest of the free world will let China have whatever kind of government they want. As I see it, the main reason for our different reaction to Chinese communism vs. Russian communism is that China has very little history of territorial expansionism. When we were afraid that communism was going to spread throughout SE Asia, our reactions were different (see the Vietnam War).Originally posted by Christophe Lee:
