The report about the Olympic torch reaching the top of Mt. Everest was positive. And it was in Western press. Is that good enough for recent?
China First

To all Pakistanis: When Beijing Olympics came under attack, a Chinese mountaineer took the torch to Mount Everest. That’s the kind of Pakistani citizens we need to create.
Pakistan—They tried to take China down. So the Chinese citizens took China to the top of the world.
Just when everyone thought they had pooped on China’s big summer Olympics party, ordinary Chinese citizens who love their country came up today with something to shock all critics: They took the Olympic torch to the highest mountain peak of the world, Everest. That’s a first in the two-thousand-year history of the Olympics.
Match this, China haters!
When CIA and MI6 were busy in burying Beijing Olympics in news headlines under the fake crisis of Tibet, ordinary Chinese citizens came up with an idea that no news television network of the world could ignore. Olympic torch atop Mount Everest for the first time. Who could bury this story? The Dalai Lama will have to fly to Jupiter to match this one.

Yeah, the French helped end British rule at the Colonies by showing up after the war was over!!
The French then stuck around and fought the Indians for Quebec (French Indian War).

Aaaahh, yes a Frenchmen.
Such an ignorant statement. I'd actually respect your response, but France has done absolutely nothing but be protected for those that would try to invade it by countries like China and others.
Funny how France has virtually no military to speak of and doesn't know what its like to lose so many in war.
Americans lost more lives protecting your country from Nazi Germany than your country ever lost on its own protecting yourself or someone else. It is simply because your country doesn't do it. Worthless!
Originally posted by carslake The Chinese are supposed to have been planning for a while now, I mean who actually thinks the missile shield is for Iran it's for protection against China. All this secret diplomacy with the Russians who are onside, is about installing the strategic defence in the Russian far east. Maybe?

The US built the Chinese economy first and foremost (and still is, thru the huge trade-imbalance as the primary catalyst).

Just something to look at.

If I were the leader of a foreign country observing the behavior of the United States, I'd be putting important assets as deep underground as possible as well.

That fails to address the fact that many large American companies have outsourced American jobs to China to exploit the emerging markets there, as well as the cheaper labour of course.
The US didn't build the Chinese economy, greedy corporations and banks did and it's China that has been buying up US bonds and $Billions to prop up their investment.

Although a lot of valid and logical points, but I'm not so sure of this perception of conspiracy behind the Nazi. After all the common people in China and Asia did not really directly dealt with the Nazi in the WWII.
However, we do have fresh memories of the Colonial period ruled by the empirialists from the West, including USA. And what the USA is doing for the past years is not much difference from then. The difference is that it was done openly and publicly back then. Now under the disguise of "war on terror", "human rights", humanitarian "aids", military "protection" and economic "cooperations".
It will take a while with a new president to change this perception, so we can gain respect for and don't need to be afraid of USA again. Hell, the American people deserve much better than only a fear&warmongering administration, someone who clean up the mess at home first before looking outside....
