Listen, you're like most other ostriches out there who are willing to listen to logic and think they can "reinvent the wheel".

But you can't, and neither can Bejing.

A communist government, unelected and unaccountable to its people, combined with dictatorial corporate interests, will inflict a double whammy upon the Chinese people.

And the people themselves will one day rally against the communist kleptocracy that is being supported the wealthy capitalists. A government that is unaccountable to its people will only be accountable to those elements that operate in symbiosis with it.

It will be comparable to Nazi Germany where the state and the corporate interests both combined to launch Germany on a path of conflict and expansion.

And you can "look at the Nikkei" all you want. But even their form of capitalism failed because of the extensive cross-holdership between corporations that prevented proper competitive forces from exerting themselves. What remained was a collection of heavily indebted and corrupt corporate interests that couldn't compete in the world marketplace with government protectionism and subsidization.

And why should the US assist the Chinese with their fundamentalists when Bejing is terrorizing Taiwan and making aggressive moves against the Phillipines over the Spratly Islands?

I would almost be willing to fund the fundamentalists, if only to keep both them, and the Chinese busy.

Maybe China would have to pull out of Tibet to direct its troops elsewhere?... Unlikely.
