In this paragraph the author demonstrates his/her ignorance about the real world. Allow me to elaborate...
The Americans are insisting that the spy plane, loaded with sophisticated technology was flying over international waters and was buzzed by Chinese fighter aircraft, one of which went down and the pilot is presumed to have died. On its own, this might have been an honest navigational error though it raises the intriguing question why a spy plane was carrying out surveillance so close to Chinese waters and which can hardly be considered a friendly act.
America is a free and open society. If the chinese communist government wants to spy on America's vital interests, they have literally hundreds of methods at their disposal. At the Long Beach Shipyard, they can even purchase land (be given rights to that land), and set up listening posts directly across the bay from our Naval forces in San Diego.
America needs to spy because China is a closed society, which has no free press, little freedom, and practices sophisticated propaganda toward their citizens. Their leaders aren't elected, and as far as we know could be complete nut-cases help bent on destroying the world for the glory of China.
We spy for the safety of the world. To ensure peace, and to protect free people everywhere.
I am not surprised to find a writer from Pakistan having difficulty understanding that concept. What I am surprised to find, is a potential future American citizen unable to understand it. |
