“The Pentagon’s 2008 annual report Congress on China’s military power indicates, when compared with previous versions, that China has increased its nuclear arsenal by 25 percent since 2006. The increase has happened due to deployment of new long-range solid fueled ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.”

“North Korea gets about 70 percent of its food and 70 to 80 percent of its fuel from China.”

Sure China has a right to have nuclear weapons but way the increase. Shouldn’t the whole world have an equal number of nuclear weapons? And our so called “friend” (china) is dealing with the enemy. Inset that pretty ironic, sure china help them in their fight for communism in the 50’s, but why aren’t they helping us out. We were the ones that busted Chinas economy not North Korea.

Democracy

Gree = free

Peach= partly free

Red= not free

Democracy "is government by the people in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system." In the phrase of Abraham Lincoln, democracy is a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people."

Communism

This was befor the collapes of the Soviet Union, and was after the collapes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

“Any ideology based on the communal ownership of all property and a classless social structure, with economic production and distribution to be directed and regulated by means of an authoritative economic plan that supposedly embodies the interests of the community as a whole.... It was expected that such a radical reordering of the economic sphere of life would also more or less rapidly lead to the elimination of all other major social problems such as class conflict, political oppression, and racial discrimination, the inequality of the sexes, religious bigotry, and cultural backwardness.”

http://www.auburn.edu/~johnspm/gloss/communism

“Communism states that the only way to solve these problems would be for the working class, to replace the wealthy bourgeoisie, which is currently the ruling class, in order to establish a peaceful, free society, without classes, or government.”

http://www.bartleby.com/65/co/communism.html

In other words communism is when a community shears all the goods that they produce. Everyone is equal and everyone gets the same amount of money. There is no racism and no inequality in between male and female. There is no political or social structure, and that the only way to get what they want is to over throw the upper class people.

Should “tube socks” justify our trading with Communist Country?

Should it really matter that we get cheaper goods from china? Aren’t they still defines as a communist country? What about Cuba? Why don’t we get goods from them?

“Before the communist Castro regime took power in Cuba, the United States was Cuba’s largest trading partner. Cuba was the largest tourist destination for Americans in the Caribbean. The two nations had very close economic ties. The United States exported a great deal of value added and manufactured goods to Cuba in exchange for the exportation of Cuban sugar, rum, and tobacco, all of which were (and to some degree, still are) highly desired in the United States.”

The U.S has practically crippled Cuba because it does not trade with it. The U.S. is the largest trading power of the west and to not trade with it makes a countries economy crash. If the U.S. were to lighten up a bit we cold have cheaper sugar (the average bag of sugar in New York is $3.29), or we can take a nice holiday in the worm beaches of Cuba.

Another reason the U.S. has to lighten up is because during hurricane Katrina Cuba offered 1500 bilingual doctors and the U.S. said no.
