If you can't beat them, join them...China welcomes all willing countries that want to participate, according to Chinese Foreign Ministry.

Considering China has no interest in promoting freedom and democracy, stopping their influence should be in every free thinking person's interest.

Jeff Kingston has certainly been contributing to weakening the clout of Japan by his erroneous articles. Abourt this quote of the day, anybody can guess that much.

China is making money by not giving involved in wars it cannot handle. China is the only winner in Afghanistan. They sell cheap stuff that the people need and see China as a paradise.

I agree. Any country which has a history of supporting undemocratic regimes, bankrolling despots or has attempted to meddle in the democratic processes of other countries should be regarded as a negative influence.
