Setting limits on weapons for China

[Skye]

No, no you're missing my point, it's not that people dislike Chinese culture or form of governance. Asian Guy said the weapons sanctions was a matter of whether you like the US, for all the foregn relations issues. I said it could also be a matter of whether you don't like China, because not everyone that dislikes US actions is going to like China muscling onto the scene.

I understand, I was just rambling.

The support of selling advanced weapons to China would depend on whether one like's the U.S.A. or not. If one does like the U.S.A., then you would want America to remain the sole world power and this can only be done by starving China.

 

Starving China? Lets not be overdramatic here.

 

On the other hand, if one does not like the U.S.A., then allowing China to develop militarily, economically, and scientifically would create a balance of power between the U.S.A. and the rest of the world, thus preventing America from acting unilaterally and with impunity against the rest of the world. So, it all depends on whether you like America or not.

 

As you have openly stated that you believe in the 'law of the jungle' between nations and that might is the only morality it would seem to depend on much more than whether you like the USA.

 

Creating a balance of power between a democracy (however imperfect) and an aggressive, rapacious naton that considers might to be morality is quite clearly insane.

 

Until and unless the Chinese government begins to act and think in a way more in touch with its civilisation and less like barbarians then China should certainly not be allowed any access to advanced weaponary.
