Hi Yiwu - Glad to hear the CIA has gotten so much better after 9/11...;-) As for "surrounding" China, you might note a strong US interest in unstable Muslim countries, most of which are far to the west of China, but little activity in, say Burma or VietNam, which are much more strategic to China. I think there might be a multi-nation effort to surround, contain and stabalize Islamic expansion, and China might quietly participate. I'm sure we are both happy at how effectively our tax dollars are being spent, thanks to the wonderful effectiveness of all parts of the US government.... Watch a US Government DEA agent demostrate his effectiveness.... Message 21160355

<the US would dream to set up permanent military bases in N. Korea too.> Some permanent USA military bases near Beijing would be good. It's nice and flat and would be a good area for military bases. When Taiwan Green has spread across China, and China has joined the civilized world, that would be a sensible outcome. The USA and China are great trade partners, swapping heaps of CDMA and other stuff, so they should be able to work well together. I wonder what WMT is. I'll check it out. ... Oh, Wal-Mart. Silly Yiwu the Mad. That's a store. Store owners don't invade anyone. They are traders who indulge in voluntary exchange of value between adults with cash. But, in a sense you are right. The invasion is one from the inside out, but not a militaristic megalomania. Chinese in China are not Clonesville mindless ant-like creatures following your edicts. They pursue self-interest, like other humans, which means integrating with hordes of other humans for mutual self-interest in voluntary free exchange of value. It's a modern concept which many [if not most] humans around the world are still to understand. Mqurice
