This all sounds kind of silly. I am not convinced there is a direct correlation to the Chinese stealing our nuclear secrets to CAOL offering consumer ISP service and lottery kiosks. While I do not completely condone their culture, I would not be so quick to condemn mutual business relationships. Many other governments have stolen military secrets, in fact, NASA & the DOD even welcome foreigners on military bases working side by side with Americans. So much for protecting military secrets. Raise your periscope and look around. What you'll find is the United States is an open book.<g> TG

MakeMoney, I agree the Chinese government is another "evil empire", but to get the Chinese people educated, is to me what the Internet is all about. Their government might be involved, but this company will help get information through to the people. Information helped bring down the Berlin Wall. We now have the Internet which is much, much more powerful. A investment in CAOL MIGHT help bring about good change to China. Best regards, Rich

I'm not asking for a reply, but my philosophy reads what you write and says that this is the most important reason to invest in Chinese Internet stocks. I think it's the most politically active statement in the stock market today, and in the best interests of GLOBAL security...I don't subscribe to "national" security issues...the internet is not national. I made a huge investment with NPEC this past week, and with profits am counting on planning to double my position in CAOL and GTCI, and buying back XNET and IMOT. I consider this Chinese internet sector pullback one of the most advantageous events of my investment career.
