What good do you see in it all?

Well, since the Chinese government is so well-known for its generousity and humanitarianism, you go ahead and get down on your knees in gratitude when they get here, Undertoad. There won't come a time (in my lifetime, anyway) when the US will need China's, or any other nation's help to shield us poor, poor citizens from the US government. On the other hand, I'm also explicitly NOT saying that we should blindly follow our (democratically elected, but I'll give you a pass on that too for the 2000 election) leaders. All I'm saying is that if the Chinese come "liberating", my neighbors and I wouldn't be out of line in asking them to leave, and taking immediate action if they refused.

BTW, what makes you think the Chinese are any more interested in us having a "free society" than they are in giving the same to their own citizens?

You're being deliberately obtuse.
