No one made a big deal when Bush flew the Chinese flag on the White House lawn...

Chinese State Arrival Ceremony

Notice the 9th picture (#81) that displays the US and Chinese flags side by side.

I understand your fears. But despite popular belief, the money China loaned the US is not something they can yank out under us. And they did it to protect their own economy.

We have a good thing here. So I understand why everyone wants to make sure they keep it.

Though I do find it odd that global economy and welfare is all based on one or two countries. BUT that is a thread for another time.

Does China have its issues? Certianly. The human rights and environmental rights alone are staggering.

So I see your points.

But I also believe we should keep the relationship if to just be a good influence if anything.

Chinese Flag will NOT fly on White House Lawn!

Just FYI. Everyone can take a deep breath of relief.

Whew! Close one, huh?
