Exchange rate? A problem.

China's rising military capabilities? Troubling.

Beijing won't help us on N. Korea? Bummer!

There is something else, however, that we should worry about.

Interesting article. The Chinese, as a people, just don't care what anyone else thinks. They will steal you blind even while they are shaking your hand. Ask anyone who does business with them in China.

True and I heard a discussion today that was in part how the Chinese viewed our political leaders. For the last 60 years or so we are viewed as naive and even stupid.

Obviously that is quite accurate.
