Hmm... so the law is not being followed then? Somehow someone who shouldn't have the power to deny a visa actually did so? You sure about that?

The USCIRF is funded for specifically this reason. They make such recommendations all the time; why should it be any different for one of your politicians? I will admit, it would be really awkward if he ends up becoming your head of state. :yay:

Obama doesn't care. His Kenyan brothers can do as they please.

The Chinese do have higher average IQ's, yet Westerners have invented virtually everything of significance in the last 400 years. I know facts are racist, but I have a hard time telling lies.

I don't see anyone picking this up. Are you sure of it's validity?

Actually, the US largely feeds itself. Yes, we import products from China that would have cost much more to make here, but we could still make them nonetheless. I don't mind trade with China, but let's be clear. Much of the wealth that China has gained in the last few decades was due to...

Because there are export controls on the F-22, due to many of it's classified characteristics.

China is developing all of it's capabilities at a much faster rate than Russia. I think it's almost inevitable, even in the crappy political/economic form of the modern-day China, that China will surpass Russia in most military capabilities. China's Navy is already probably superior to Russia's...

The prizes for Peace and Literature should be thrown out. Only the Sciences are relevant. For f*** sake, Obama and the European Union got the Peace prize.

Political reform will give the Chinese citizen and the rest of the world a good understanding of how competent and efficient their government truly is. I've always said that China would do much better with a Singaporean style system. I still think so.

Sure, but I'd like to see Chinese deadlines, and how many times they are met. China has been more productive, there is no doubt about that, but we simply don't know how many times China has failed to meet her own predictions because such things are not published publicly.

Yea but China should actually try and catch-up first before her sideline cheerleaders start calling her an advanced country.

Yea, those LPD's came out fairly quick for a developing country with little experience in this regard, but the fact of the matter is, you only built three. San Antonio-class are being commissioned at a rate of two per year.

You didn't even read my post, or at least you did not comprehend it. Read it again and respond to the points I made, rather than responding to yourself. We grew at slow rates, compared to modern developing countries, because we were leading the world in innovation and increases in living...

Any Chinese members want to respond to this? I find it very hard to believe. Anyone who has been to Shanghai or Beijing would not say that these people are living on $5k per year. Insanity.

Interestingly enough, we really don't know how many delays and setbacks that China experiences, seeing as how they rarely publish such predictions. I've seen a few predictions from over-excited Chinese officials and scientists on their space program, all to end up not being even close to the...

It's good you have a sense of humor regarding that Soviet floating casino. :cheers: Do you have a source for that? That really is a bizarre way for a head of state to speak.

I would have agreed with you, if it wasn't for the fact that Indian equipment, indigenous or not, has been renowned for their pitiful delays in reach operating capability, and generally in meeting any timeline that is set forward by your government or military staff. BTW, if Indians were not...

This was a pitiful analysis. Why do you think that Western countries have had historically low growth rates? Because we are innately inferior to the cultural superiority of the East? Or because we were AHEAD of everyone else, and so our real GDP growth largely came from productivity increase...

True. At least India did do it. It doesn't mean China can't though, just because they haven't yet. I suspect that we will see the Chinese carrier within the next two years, and embarrassingly, it may be commissioned before the Indian one (even though the Indian one has less indigenous...
