U.S.-China Relations

I find it interesting (and hypocritical) that Tang Jiaxuan, the foreign minister of China, is criticizing the U.S. for considering a missile defense system (Commentary, April 2). Perhaps in his next commentary he would be so kind as to explain to the American people how China has “engaged in fruitful cooperation over the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missiles” by providing missiles and technological expertise to the “few so-called problem states” we are trying to protect ourselves against.

Stop Chinese aggression now. Just stop buying goods made in China. They are not a capitalistic society, and most of the money flowing from us to them is used for building up their military. They have figured out how to not go bankrupt in the arms race and how to make the U.S. foot the bill. If we quit buying their stuff, they couldn’t even afford the gasoline to fly, let alone force down one of our planes (April 2).
