The Campaign Olympics

As it was expected, the president of the IOC turned down the idea of boycotting the Summer 2008 Olympics in the aftermath of China’s crackdown on Tibet. Yet, the recent unrest is unavoidably adding more fuel to the escalating controversy that has been surrounding the Olympics since they were awarded to Beijing on July 13 2001.

the 17th Congress of the CCP:princelings mean legitimacy?

As outcome of the 17th Party Congress,Xi Jinping, a princeling, whose father is elder Xi Zhongxun, was set as heir presumptive to Hu Jintao. In the new 25-member Politburo, Xi and his fellow princelings, which come from families of former high-ranking officials, occupy about ten seats. Today,the booming princelings are children of Mao Zedong's red veterans. The princes of Mao Zedong's Red Army men, however, are the most acceptable in China today.At least,the democrats should know,they are well fed,not hungry! Bo Xilai, the trade minister and son of Bo Yibo, one of the eight "immortals" who ran China with Deng Xiaoping.

China's Economic Blackmail Is Working

Why the U.S. Tests Few Chinese Imports Joel S. Hirschhorn Massive amounts of Chinese imports are threatening public health and safety. Many food and consumer products pose risks. Lead in children’s toys and jewelry. Toxins in foods for pets and humans, and in toothpaste. Unsafe automobile tires. Many prescription drugs made with few safeguards. The list is endless. The federal government is not safeguarding American citizens through thorough testing of imports. Why? Simple: The Chinese have us by our budget-deficit balls. Our government depends on China for loaning us money and for not dumping the vast hoard of over one trillion dollars it has accumulated by financing our huge deficits and selling us virtually everything. Dumping dollars is called the Chinese economic nuclear option. They can wreck the American economy any time they want. America is being held hostage because of our government’s disastrous fiscal and trade policies. And, yes, all this middle-class-killing free trade globalization favors corporate interests.
