The Expansionist

Building Up Our Enemy. Peter Brookes is right to be concerned about Communist China's military buildup. He neglects to mention that key people in the Pentagon believe that China is preparing for war against us within 20 years and he equally neglects to say where the "People's Republic" is getting the money for its massive buildup: from us.

The U.S. trade deficit with Communist China last year was $124 billion. Its military budget, Brookes says, is "$50 billion to $70 billion a year." The trade deficit this year is of the same order of magnitude as last year, which means that we are paying for Communist China's buildup against us! As Lenin is thought to have said, "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them." (Responsive to "The Chinese Age?", New York Post, June 14, 2004)
