The rest of us dimwits don't even know what this thread is supposed to be about.

The U.S. -AND- Bill Clinton knows what kind of enemy we have in China.  On
one hand we treat them nice, externally, and welcome their officials with
nice words to get cheap labor from the communist republic.  So they don't
get too strong, we demonize China within our own population.  Reports
generated by Washington DC go to think-tanks and universities.  Public
opinion is spread from there.

CHINA is an evil communist power like Saddam Hussein is Washington's line
and we all know that is true!

Because China will consume all of the world's resources, it is a threat to
U.S. and free world interest.  If we blame the government of China as
being evil and say that we love the Chinese people, we can destroy the
fabric of China without getting too dirty...I think.  

Whenever a country grows too strong, even if it is NOT evil, we must
demonize that country...even if it means murdering millions of it's
people.  Look at Iraq and look at Vietnam!

Hey guys!  We are the good guys in God's eyes...ask the Jews!
Clinton's sleeping buddies.

WE SHOULD KILL ALL OF THEM COMMIES!

China's communist government described below:

Evil, evil, evil !!!

Dear President Clinton,

There are many important things to do internationally.  Why aren't you
doing them?  Resolve the sanctions and compensate Iraq.  Bring true
peace to China and the Middle East!  By your statement about your love
for China and your promise to bring about democracy to China, any
expert of China policy would know that your knowledge is misplaced and
would bring war.  YOU SHOULD NOT DEPEND on your current foreign policy
advisors, I have told you time and time again that their information
is WRONG.  Disastrous world changes and war will be cause by your
faulty knowledge.  Just because your advisors think that the U.S. can
win by bullying their way into every matter will prove to the world's
undoing.

Why aren't you supporting Chechnya's or Kosovo's independence?  Why
isn't Washington supporting the return of China's Imperial Crown and a
religious renaissance, below, returning to China?

The good that you do, if you knew goodness at all, will payoff for
you and payoff handsomely for the United States of America.

You can not expect China to change overnight and China is not that bad
of a country, in some ways it is better than the U.S.  The evolution of
any country needs to follow some prescribed path.  Something consistent
with that country's history and temperament.  If you examine my entire
website, you will learn what U.S. foreign policy should be.  Please
examine, if you have not,
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/4241/contents.htm .

You know, rather than being calculating (which you and your team are),
the best posture and thing to do is to do good in life and let
providence and God take care of the rest.  Have you made peace with
your neighbor?  Do you love and show kindness to your enemy?  The Holy
Bible says, "Love God with all of your heart and do not lean upon your
own understanding.  Take note of him, in all of your ways, and he will
set your path straight."  Men will plan and calculate, but it is the
will of God that will come true.  God's ways are higher than man's
and his thinking is superior to any plan devised by men.

Do acts of true goodness, as given above, and people will love you.
Why should we hate or defeat one another?  The world is too small a
place for such things.

                            HIM Yao Sui,
                            Emperor of China

The History of the Chow Dynasty
(China's current Imperial family)

By the dynasty of Chou was consummated all that was great and good in China.
Preceding dynasties initiated the rudimentary forms of civilization, but laws,
customs, ceremonial, ethics, and the first definite forms of the written
character all trace their real beginning to Chow.  The story of its rise and
progress, is, therefore of more than ordinary interest.  This story as related
by the historians of the later period of the dynasty is in its entirety
incredible.  Certain facts recorded are however, not only incredible, but yield
a probable account of the earliest beginnings of the civilization, which has
guided China to the present.  Examination of the historical dawn of Chow
presents us moreover with valuable Information as to the probable origin of the
Chinese people.

The Chow historians assert that their people were the descendants of Howchi,
founder of agriculture and minister of Yao and connects him with Liw, who lived
under the last king of the Hsia dynasty.  By this king, noted for his cruelty
and vice, he suffered such persecution for some unknown reason that he fled
from China going westwards across the Yellow River to seek refuge among the
nomadic inhabitants of Shensi.  There, in B.C. 1796, he took up his abode at
the foot at Mount Pin, where he commenced agricultural operations.  These he
conducted with such intelligence and industry laboring day after day, early
and late, that he produced abundance of grain.  With a wise liberality he
secured the goodwill of his roving neighbors.  His prosperity was so great
that many of the natives abandoned their nomadic life and betook themselves to
farming.  They acquired herds of cattle and stores of grain had enough for
themselves and to spare for the wayfarer.  His bounty was so freely given that
his reputation spread widely and men resorted to him from all quarters.  His
operations extended to the rivers Chi and Chu affluents of the Wei, whose
products he annexed.  The people confided in his protection, relied on his
faithfulness and sincerity, and praised his generosity.  So many followed his
example that be became head of a considerable community.  Thus, did he lay the
foundation of the Chow kingdom.

After the lapse at four and a half unrecorded centuries, Tan Fu is said to have
been head of Mount Pin settlement.  His name appears in B.C. 1327 as descendant
and successor of Liw.  He was troubled by the nomadic barbarians who surrounded
him on all sides.  Mencius states that he lived among the Ti barbarians, who
desired to "swallow him up."  He offered them skins and cloth, which did not
satisfy them.  He presented horses and dogs, but they were not appeased.
Pearls and jade did not purchase peace.  Then he summoned the elderly men of
his settlement and said that what the Ti wanted was the cultivated land.  There
was a proverb to the effect that men should not injure others for the sake of
those things intended for the use of man.  There was no ruler in the land,
therefore he suggested that he should leave that place and search out another
situation for a new settlement.  He then abandoned Pin and went south to Mount
Ki, a distance of about eighty miles.  The men of the Pin "kingdom," saying
that he was a good man, followed him to the number of two thousand like riders
going to a fair.

In his new kingdom, he speedily acquired so excellent a reputation that the
people from neighboring kingdoms adhered to him.  To the new settlement he gave
the name Chow, signifying plenty.  He was apparently satisfied with the change.
The lessons of the past were not lost upon him.

He introduced changes.  He erected a fort built houses, with rooms in which to
live.  The wall was surrounded by a moat.  Within a year the houses inside that
wall were completed and in another year the fort became a "capital."  He
instituted five officials, one to oversee his followers, another to superintend
the horses, a third to take charge of vacant ground, a fourth of cultivated
lands, and the fifth to superintend criminal affairs.  His people praised him,
and his reputation was widely extended.

The diligence, the wisdom, the justice, and the benevolence congregated and
welded together a large community and laid the foundations of China.

It was in King Wen, however, that all the good qualities of the founders of
Chow (were) combined to make a character of such elevation . . . that he to
this day is regarded as the real founder of the civilization of the Chinese
nation.  He devoted himself entirely to the welfare of the  State.  He
formulated laws; he instituted tithing of the produce of the land as income for
the government; he made office hereditary.  To meet the necessities of aged men
and widows, the solitary who were without means of support and young orphans,
all of whom were the most helpless of the community.  He enacted ordinances of
benevolence.  He  commanded his followers to bury carefully the bones of dead
men found in the wilds.  The report of the incident spread over the whole
empire, producing a most favorable impression, for if he so cared for the
bones of the dead how much more would he consider the needs of the living.  He
was polite to men of the lowest ranks, if they were known to be men of good
character.  During daytime he ate sparingly that he might be able to attend at
all times to any business.

The last king of the previous dynasty, in his first year, became notorious for
extravagance and excessive  drinking.  (He) was reported guilty of the wildest
excesses and the most brutal of murders.  He had discarded every good and noble
quality.  Over the reports of such unnatural cruelty, King Wen sighed in
secret.  His sentiments were known to his neighboring chief, the Lord of Tsung,
who accused him to Chow Sin of harboring rebellious designs.  He was seized and
imprisoned for two years.
