Obama Plays China card, but who holds the Ace? »
Posted By WikiMap 3 months, 1 week ago in NewsAlthough U.S. President Barack Obama has never set foot there, China cast a long shadow in the Pacific region where he grew up.
Obama, who will visit Shanghai and Beijing for the first time on November 15-18, spent much of his childhood in Hawaii, five time zones away from Washington, D.C.; and beginning in 1967, when he was six years old, he lived in Jakarta for four years.

China is, from the economic point of view, a country without wich nothing would work. If China stopped trading, e.g. with the US, this would mean the loss of a > 1 Mrd market. What I am curious about, concerning its enormous economic power, is, how this country will manage to practice a capitalism without ideological background. Usually, an economic system is seen as related with a certain theory. The Chinese want hardware without software. Perhaps this experiment will end up in a desaster, or they were the first to discover the economic system of the 21th century.

"At the time, China was in the throes of Chairman Mao Zedong's bloody Cultural Revolution. Abroad, the nation was less interested in selling widgets than in promoting Mao's brand of radical communism -- a force the U.S. saw behind communist movements and political upheaval in Vietnam, Indonesia and elsewhere in Southeast Asia."
Yet, now we trade with very evil we were trying to eliminate.
These liars we have as leaders, are advancing the New World Order.
Yep, I sure can't understand the lies of politicians, from Eisenhower through Obama, and all in between. With the exception of President Carter-who was the most Christian president we had-. Yet while he was president, he was hamstrung by his party and the Republican party to make sure none of what needed to be done was accomplished.
So now we have this, the joining of the political powers to create what they really want. World domination, the control of the flow of money.
Business in control with no boundries. With this they can control countries, and bring their brand of truth to the world.
Yeah, keep playing the game.
One thing though.
Ya can't win a game where the rules change, to benefit the house. -
