Say it again, why are we allowing China to be part of our economic infrastructure while they are an enemy in every sense of the word?
UPDATE: China reversed a decision on Thursday to block a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group from visiting Hong Kong, but the change of heart by Beijing officials came too late to stop the U.S. naval flotilla from returning to its forward base in Japan.
As the article states, the flotilla is not planning to turn around ... No thanks to the Chinese Fire Drill?
