I was really shocked when I’d heard recent Jack Cafferty’s comments on CNN’s political programs, The Situation Room. He said the USA imported Chinese-made “junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food”, adding: “Chinese are basically the same bunch goons and thugs they have been in past 50 years”. Thus, CNN reporter has insulted the Chinese people, charging them with a highly despicable assault.
Only think of it! Poor Americans have to import Chinese junk? But if China’s stuff is trash, don’t buy it! What the ****? It becomes popular with US media to insult the peoples. USA is terrorizing the whole world. And many nations in it hate you, guys!
It is clear to everybody J. Cafferty has been given pretty penny for what he said. It shows us that there are no honest journalists in the USA now. All of them are engaged in realization Washington’s plans on breaking Summer Olympic Games in China.
And if CNN still keeps such rubbishy commentators, it works to CIA benefit! Shame on CNN! Shame on all US mercenary reporters! Shame on US totalitarian power, discredited high world’s ideals of freedom and democracy!

While i do not agree with the overall tone of your post, i do agree on one point which is that the disrespect of China in our country is not good.
I disagree with the comments as you quoted them.

There are some things we consider "problems" with China.
But China is neither our enemy or a 3rd world country.
And some of us treat China as though it is both.

McCain directly referred to China as our "enemy" in a debate.
I also strongly disagree with this.
China has made no move or statement towards The United States that would indicate that they are our enemy.
Rival maybe. Not enemy.
McCain's insistence that China is our enemy is one of my main reasons for opposing McCain as much as i do.
Even if China is our enemy, its just not something a "Presidential Figure" says publicly for the purpose of political gain.

later, he clarified his remarks:

I thought old Jack was too nice. he showed admirable restraint, imo.

This Chinese government is a bunch of goons and thugs and have been since they took over from the KMT goons and thugs. Where's the problem?

If you want to find out the problem, look at yourself in the mirror.

China's run by an oppressive gang of dictators, and calling them goons and thugs is probably about accurate. I wouldn't say all Chinese goods are junk, but recent toy issues and the general lack of sufficient regulation in that country is disturbing.

Jack Cafferty was harsh, but I can't say I disagree.

Try to concentrate on the subject of this thread....Chinese goons and thugs in Chinese government since the 1920. Nearly one hundred years of goonery and thuggery! Impressive but not quite a record. Russia has been ruled by goons and thugs for 600 years.

Your examples pale in comparison to the white butchers in the New World. Read the history of the New World, please. You will thank God or Allah for not being born a native of the American continent. The fate of those natives was sealed since the day Columbus stepped on the shore of the New World.
