Hillary: “We welcome China’s rise”
“The Pacific is big enough for all of us,” said Clinton, “and we will continue to welcome China’s rise if it chooses to play a constructive role in the region. For both of us, the future of this relationship depends on our ability to engage across all these issues at once.”
Clinton continued that “That’s true as well for another very complicated and important region, the Middle East and North Africa. I’ve talked at length recently about our strategy in this region, including in speeches at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Saban Forum and in my recent testimony before Congress.” …
Regarding China, President Obama has said something similar in the past. “We welcome China’s rise,” said Obama in 2011 standing next to China president Hu Jintao at the White House, according to CBS. “I absolutely believe that China’s peaceful rise is good for the world, and it’s good for America.”

Yeah, way to sell out the Philippines, Japan, Thailand, and the rest of our allies in the region, who are being threatened by the ChiComs.

One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the Chinese will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground mineral caves.

our “leaders” are brain dead stupid. do they forget the cold war? the threat of instant death hanging over everyone’s head daily ? Are these people so clueless as to hasten our enemy’s rise so that we once again have to send our men and now women into battle?
the last communist refuge and instead of bringing that country to its knees and forcing it to adopt freedom and a government of the people we prop it up, ship our jobs there and destroy our economy in the process to help them out.
We are so doomed.

Chuck Hagel says rising with China is a bad idea because you might drop it.

the only good thing about this is China’s history. They will tear themselves apart internally like the USSR if we ever stop helping them stay in power.

Pathetic. Dems refuse to have a semi-decent front runner for 2016 and instead push this tired failure and fraud.

“We also welcome their cyber attacks on just about every important institution and corporation in our country.”

And if they need help stealing our secrets and pirating everything in sight, well then the demorats would love to lend a hand. Spread the wealth and all that.
