Don't be so hard on China!
China provides abundant cheap labors for your greedy mongers.

China also provides all kinds of cheap goods so you can continue enjoying your good life.

China deposits almost US$1.5 trillion cash in your banks & T-notes so George & his puppets can continue their wars here & there.

So, what are you complaining about? You want more from China?!
