US protests 'harassment' by Chinese vessels - Yahoo! News

US protests 'harassment' by Chinese vessels - Yahoo! News Yes beware! History repeats itself!!! I recall the new (now expired) '2001' Bush presidency, 8 years ago (August 2001 to be exact) - just b4 9-11, had a (US) a spy plane confiscated by China after it was (1) shot down (2) crashed in Chinesse territory. Take your pick, were you there? It looked like the only Superpower (us = U.S.) was on some collision course with the up and coming superpower China. Due to 9-11 that situation was diffused. Our two Governments seriously differ, but both are trying to represent their people (Human Rights - humm? - that's on China's government). This story is inflamatory to most U.S. citizens, provoking fear about Communist China. Isn't that also the way we got into Iraq (the 2nd time). Times are tough now economically for most of the world (including China), lets hope that this story is not fear mongering. Historically war makes economic sense (which is fundamentally wrong) but let us (U.S.) not get senseless. China needs Wal-Mart as much as we need them.
