A little too eager to sell off some of our best tech, dont you think, Ossan? =P It took us long enough to sell our F-16s. I seriously doubt they'll be selling F-22s in the foreseeable future.

I know for a fact the US does the same thing. This isn't even really news. Truth be told, we get more attacks per day from N. Korea than anywhere else.

Oh, so you're one of those types who believe progress comes from the snap of your fingers eh? China today is far cry from the Mao era, and has seen much improvement since the Deng era.
Maybe that's your problem. Maybe Chinese don't want your fingers in their pie, and resent it so. I think Western involvement has done more to hinder China's opening more than help it.

"
So this guy was traveling for free on this "buddy voucher"? I hope the judge throws out his case."
Uhm, no? Free or not, its no excuse to send a passenger to sit on a toilet for a portion of the flight. Thats ridiculous.

Yes, well, I know the type. They're all over the place, but it mostly has to due with the lack of separation between government and nation. I don't often argue with pure nationalists. You won't get anywhere. It's why I thank God that my Chinese girlfriend makes her own informed opinions. She's had some of her friends tell her she doesn't love her country and she's a "foolish girl" for simply no other reason than telling her friends that she believed killing the Tibetan protesters was wrong. I told her she was more of a patriot. Go figure.

I generally agree with your post, but dont you find it somewhat ironic that you're claiming he doesn't get different perspectives despite the fact you're replying to him on a website that is giving different perspectives?

To be fair, the hate seems to be coming from the west, and the nationalism is coming as a direct result.

That makes no sense. I think the US is great. Guess that means I should never study abroad.
