Maybe Obama had one chance to stand up to China, but that day is gone. Now aggressive pushback on Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, or Google will only cause China to push back harder, and sending Clinton out to bash Beijing is going to accelerate the war for global hegemony. China won't back down, but it doesn't want unnecessary confrontation either. Might be better for Obama keep a smile on our face for now, until we can plan a future course of action, and work on our cyber capabilities in silence.James Gundunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141055666432969361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571201204115952544.post-88893821796871834892010-01-31T14:27:38.929-08:002010-01-31T14:27:38.929-08:00Frankly I think its about time Obama put a foot do...Frankly I think its about time Obama put a foot down China's bad behavior. The whole "hackers? we don't know anything about hackers." line from China is getting pretty stale. If the US allows them to, they will systematically pillage every military secret and business technology we have to give their own military and commercial sector a huge edge in not having to spend the R&D we did. This will significantly hasten the US fall and China's rise. I only wish Obama had done something a little more aggressive, instead of this slap on the wrist. China will keep pushing until they find the line. At this point I'm not sure anyone in Washington is capable of standing up to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571201204115952544.post-28812164667395919702010-01-30T17:52:41.085-08:002010-01-30T17:52:41.085-08:00Obviously America will never bow to China, but the...Obviously America will never bow to China, but there's really no way to stop it from taking over the Eastern hemisphere either. Everything is more interesting now that China is past the point of backing down too. If America wants to get into shipping lanes and energy pipelines, it should expect a full response from China. This is all going to get very interesting.James Gundunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141055666432969361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571201204115952544.post-87647276006757782722010-01-30T12:47:13.895-08:002010-01-30T12:47:13.895-08:00http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&am...http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aqZ.MGOXD5j4&pos=9Tao Dao Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229628652152584292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571201204115952544.post-56008752892123438062010-01-30T07:13:55.747-08:002010-01-30T07:13:55.747-08:00Shillary is giving lip service from an age long go...Shillary is giving lip service from an age long gone. China can no longer be stopped. ASEAN, SCO, are on the move. China has been making energy deals all over the world while America is bogged down in Afghanistan, and Iraq. China controls 97% of the rare earth metals. These are metals that will take us into the new era. The West is going after chokepoints, [shipping lane control]. This is also a strategy of a past age. If China's GDP keeps rising at say 8% it will pass the U.S. in 10 years. China is working on their own consumer base. That means they will no longer need the American consumer, one who will not be advancing in a long time any way. China will have their own Asian region, this region will surpass the U.S. and the Eurozone in short time. Taiwan will become a quasi-china. This will be the century for China. The circle comes around once again.Tao Dao Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229628652152584292noreply@blogger.com
