This is such an 'amazingly balanced' comments that portrayed US as a fortress of light against the evil of china.
First of all, I don't believe that there are any goverments in the world that hasn't got a few skeletons in their closets. All the wars perpetrated in the name of democracy , freedom and USA has certainly not made the world a safer place. Of courses the SARS case was handled badly to begin with, but steps were taken to correct that. As for the canadian victims, of course it is very sad, but with the ease of international travels in this day and age it is hard to ensure this kind of thing does not happen.
Secondly, you say there shouldn't be cooperation or even basic etiqutte regarding space technology between US and china because if "someone gets better at your own game your first instinct is obviously be hostile to them" go to war if possible. This does seem to be the essence of US foreign policy, forever. This attiltulde only increases conflict(or competition) and encourages the other side, for example, Iraq was invaded again because it might have weapons of mass destruction (not found yet, AFAIK), north korea on the other hand does have nuclear capabilities thus US decide try diplomacy instead. Just like in the cold war.
Thirdly regarding the "culturally chninese apologists many of whom proceed to become spies for china". Are you suggesting racial profiling and discrimination, that all chinese are spies and all arab people are terrorists, were you one of those people who told their children to beware of brown people. And there is nothing bizarre about people from taiwan (which is part of china) or in fact any other chinese people to work for their goverment. I am sure US conducts just as much covert intelligence operation if not more and a few not so covert such as that big spy plane few years back spying on chinese military bases. Maybe you would like another witchhunt since the last one went down so well. Perhaps under some new laws US could and probably already do detain suspect indefintely without any charges", freedom and human rights indeed.
The whole comment seems to be USA is great and other nations's people should also think it is great but for other people to be patriotic and see their country in a good sense, it is all completely incomprehensible. The whole do as we say not as we do because we are holier than thou attitulde is gonna get us all killed when it ignites world war 3.
People like you should stop constanting looking for the next enemy and insist no one should be as powerful or as advanced as you because why negotiate when you can dictate. And stop encouraging xenophobia, fascist!
