The US congressional commission is a Big Fake !

China role in peaceful world questioned

By Carol Giacomo,

the Associated Press

Despite its rising power and wealth, China may not be willing or ready to play a responsible role in an international system aimed at encouraging peace and stability, a commission set up by the U.S. Congress said in a report released on Monday.

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission accused China of failing "to meet the threshold test of international responsibility in the area of non-proliferation" by aiding Iran's nuclear, missile and chemical programs and refusing to effectively use its leverage to bring North Korea back into nuclear weapons negotiations.

It said China in recent years has allowed the transfer of weapons and technology across its territory from North Korea to Iran and even if Beijing wanted to control such transfers, this would be very difficult.

Beijing's adherence to World Trade Organization obligations remains "spotty and halting" five years after attaining membership while its hunt for oil and gas holdings overseas could "substantially effect U.S. energy security," the report added.

This is the fourth annual report of the commission, created by Congress to examine the national security implications of the U.S.-China bilateral trade and economic relationship.

The commission has been controversial because of concerns its members tend to be overly critical of China.

Most American experts believe the rising Asian superpower could go either way, becoming a U.S. adversary or a responsible "stakeholder" strengthening a stable international system.

The United States last year encouraged China to become a "stakeholder" and more often than not, the Bush administration has emphasized Beijing's cooperation on North Korea and other issues, rather than its failings.

However, the commission said that while it still hoped China might one day be a pillar of the international community, "many of the trends of the past year raise serious doubts about whether China is willing or prepared to play such a role."

"China's continuing record of proliferation, including its indulgence of North Korea's nuclear and missile programs and its involvement in Iran's programs, is deeply destabilizing," the report said.

It also expressed concern that China is conducting biological and chemical weapons research in violation of Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention obligations.

The United States for years has pressed China to halt weapons of mass destruction and missile cooperation with Iran and within the past year has three times imposed sanctions on 11 Chinese firms.

Recurring transfers of militarily sensitive technologies suggest some firms are "serial proliferators and have no fear of government controls or punishments," the report said.

The commission said from April to July 2003, "China reportedly gave overflight rights to Iranian II-76 cargo planes that flew to North Korea at least six times to pick up wooden crates suspected of containing cruise missiles."

But after a U.S. protest in June 2005, China denied overflight rights for an Iranian plane departing from North Korea, the report said.

China-Iran nuclear cooperation has waned amid mounting international pressure on Tehran to halt uranium enrichment. Still, some experts believe China continues to support "Iran's technological advancements and training of nuclear physicists," the report said.

The USA is not always right.
Wether China helps Iran to develop its nuclear physicists or supports it weapons is not sure.
White man did a lot of bad things to other nations,when they were more advanced(but Han nantion people
did not do so),So how can Iranis believe that won't occur again?All they did and do is to get respect and
safe.

Hypocritical Jerks

Most American "leaders" are hypocritical jerks.  It is just the the worst ones decided to get together and do this jerk-off session called the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.  They figure that they are not going to be get bribes (since China does not bribe) from China, they might as well go the other way and try to get bribes from Taiwan instead.

I think it was Samuel Johnson that said, " It is the slave drivers down under that preaches freedom and liberty the most earnest."  That is in fact a long and proup part of being Americans, this "I'm No. 1-ism", this "I'm always right, and you are always wrong" idiocy that they preach. Doublespeak is the American passtime.  Whores demand to be praised for their chastity, brutal murderers demand to be hailed as heroes.  Just look at Foley, and now the famous (or infamous) Haggard, who are quintessential of what America represents. The more righteous they claim to be, the worse kind of scoundrels these Americans are.

Just ignore these blackhearted jerks.  If they ask to come visit China, snub them.

This weekend is an important one.  China's trade with the African continent can quadruple in the next 10 years, if China plays the cards right.  If the jerks don't want good relationship with China, there are over 100 other nations on earth that do.

Reply #5 tongluren's post

The vibes from the conference are vintage Pelosi howlerings.

No matter what China does -- and whether she cooperates or not -- these jerks will not think any differently about her.  It is true that to these ignorant babblers, only a dead Chinese is a good Chinese.

China has done a lot to make the six-party conference work, and as you can all see, the commission's report here simply does not give credit when it is due.

As I had mentioned, calling China a "stockholder" does not mean that the Old Country is deemed a partner in any sense of the word.  It's like calling the growler a nice doggie until a big bludgeon can be found.

What they are doing -- holding large-scale naval exercises with Japan -- is more telling than what they are saying.

Their actions confirm that the "stockholder" comment was no more than a figment of imagination by its author, and not at all a consensus reached by its congress.

Now that Pelosi is holding the reins, the Congression Commission will churn out worse reports in the coming years, and you can all bet on it.

Thats rich.

The US has ZERO credibility on the world stage and most people in a recent wold wide poll perceive the US itself as a greater threat to world peace.

The US would now decide which country can have nukes and which should not be allowed to defend themselves (against US agression)? Doest this sound like a conflict of interest?
Should Iran be prevented from having a nuclear deterent against US invasion because it has Oil that's no longer under a US puppet regime?

The US has opposed an array of international threaties

- It is against international court,
- it pushes for trade agrements and treaties that benefits them but transgresses these agrements whenever they want and defy any ruling with total impunity.
- it has opposed land mine bans(which have little military value but kill civilians children years and decades after the conflict is over)
- It has opposed and thus delayed projects for affordable medicine to Africa,
- it has opposed banning weapon proliferation in space,
- it opposes comprehensive biological weapon bans,
- it has sold biological and chemical weapon production technology to Saddam before and after Saddam uses chemical weapons on Iranians and Kurds,
- Ignoring international law and lauching a fullscale war on an other country (using false and fabricated evidence) for the purpose of pillaging the countrie's ressources (in this case Oil).
- Supporting coup d'etats against democratically elected governments like that of Salvador Allende, Jacobo Arbenz and Mohammed Mossadegh, replacing them by torutous butchering dictatorial tyrants like Pinochet, Carlos Castillo Armas and the Shah ("bringing freedom and democracy", yeah right, the worst is that the US public believes that propaganda).

the list goes on an on,..

For the US of all countries to accuse any other country of intenational irresponsability is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

More often than not, people in other countries refer to the actions of the US Government as the will of its people. Yes, we can vote, and therefore enact some measure of control over our elected officials, but the long and short of it is that we have no "real" power over our government. In fact, I personally reel in horror at the things our President has done recently in Iraq and Afganistan. His lies and partial truths overshadow the peoples' good intentions, and no vote can repair or replace the impact his actions have had physically as well as psychologically on the world stage. No, we Americans are not reflected in the actions of our Government. I would caution you people to think about that as you go about your day.

And you Chinese people take care: do the actions of your government reflect your true wishes as well? I think not. Most of the Chinese people I know and have met in my travels would not agree with that statement.

Take care, post carefully.

Oh shut up

You're all a bunch of ignorant and brainwashed individuals.. Go read your censored newspaper or watch your govenment censored television

When you allow foreign news organziations to operate independently, without the interference of your governement, and you have the ability to elect all your officials.. Then you have the right to discuss the issue of authenticity of our Congressional committees..

Until then.. Shut up!! You have no basis to understand our own governmental system... You function under a highly centralized and communist system, which allows very little direction from the common individuals..

whiteboy:

the potential failing of the republic system is that when the voters are presented with a bad choice and a worse choice, how do they choose? And yes, you are at least to a small degree responsible for Bush staying in power. There were analysts as early as 2000 who warned against the attack of Iraq, and whistleblow on the Patriotic Act and others. The U.S people have the power to IMPEACH their president. Yet the majority are not exercising their right. There are some activists working hard on this, yet nothing is happening. So, yes, you the american people are complicit in the crime of the US government.

As for the chinese, well, actually I would submit that they like the arrangement. Sicne they have alledgedly no control nor power over the government, when bad things happened they can conveniently push all the blame to the government.

And as a double irony, I suspect the current American Population would have been very happy under the current CCP

more mud-slinging by this Joke.......

China pursuing aggressive spying program: US commission

China's spies are acquiring critical US know-how to enhance its military and industrial might, posing the biggest threat to US technology, a US Congress-appointed commission warned Thursday.

"Chinese espionage in the United States, which now comprises the single greatest threat to US technology, is straining the US counterintelligence establishment," the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission said in a report to Congress.

To underline the seriousness of the espionage problem, the panel called for immediate steps to determine the country of origin of every US weapon system components and a "full assessment" of US intelligence capabilities related to China's military.

"The commission recommends that Congress require the Department of Defense to prepare a complete list of the country of origin of each component in every US weapon system to the bottom tier," the report said.

It also asked Congress to consider providing additional funding for US export control enforcement and counterintelligence efforts, specifically those tasked with preventing "illicit" technology transfers" to China and its "state-sponsored industrial espionage operations."

Industrial espionage "significantly contributes to China's military modernization and acquisition of new capabilities," the report said.

The commission wanted the Pentagon to monitor potential Chinese military applications of research and development conducted in China by US companies.

The panel also found the pace of military modernization in China exceeding official US estimates, commission vice-chairman Dan Blumenthal said.

China's defense industry, he said, was producing new generations of weapon systems with impressive speed and quality, in part because China had developed the capacity to integrate commercial technologies into military systems.

"In addition, industrial espionage has given Chinese companies an added source of new technologies," he said at a news conference where the report was released.

Blumenthal also expressed concern at "China's willingness to invest in and sell weapons to Iran and Sudan, both countries with abysmal human rights records."

The commission is also concerned about the increasing ability of China's military to destroy satellites and to undertake cyber attacks against a broad array of US computer networks, both government and civilian, chairman Carolyn Bartholomew said.

It called for tightening of measures to protect critical American computer networks and sensitive information from damage by cyber attacks.

"Chinese military strategists have embraced disruptive warfare techniques, including the use of cyber attacks (which) if carried out strategically on a large scale, could have catastrophic effects on the target country's critical infrastructure," it said.

A report earlier this year said China's military had successfully hacked into the US military computer network in June following months of efforts, forcing a shutdown of a system serving the office of Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

The commission also charged that China's "control and manipulation of information" made it difficult or impossible for officials responsible for product safety in the United States and other nations to identify potential safety problems in Chinese imports on a timely basis.

Dangerous exports from China ranging from toys to seafood have sparked a wave of global bans and recalls in recent months and severely tarnished the made-in-China label.

Beijing has taken various steps to contain the problem, and in July executed the former head of its food and drug safety watchdog for corruption.

China hits back at U.S. spying and trade accusations

China hits back at U.S. spying and trade accusations

(Reuters)

China has hit back at a U.S. congressional panel report, calling its claims of trade manipulation and high-tech espionage by Beijing "insulting" and "misleading."

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission's annual report issued last week said China presented an array of threats to Washington, including "currency manipulation," computer espionage, and murky military modernization plans.

Late on Monday, a spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry curtly rejected the advisory panel's claims and warned that such talk could stymie cooperation.

Spokesman Liu Jianchao said the panel "ignored" China's advances and "clinged to prejudices," according to the ministry Web site (www.fmprc.gov.cn).

"It has engaged in an insulting attack on China, seeking to mislead opinion and the public and lay down obstacles to broad cooperation between China and the U.S," Liu said of the panel.

"We have already made stern representations to the U.S. side and express our resolute disapproval."

Liu did not respond to the Commission's specific claims, which dwelt on trade complaints, spying claims and other security concerns.

"Chinese espionage activities in the United States are so extensive that they comprise the single greatest risk to the security of American technologies," the report said.

There have been numerous reports and editorials in Australian newspapers regarding spying in Australia (by you know who) as well as Chinese government attempts to influence Australian politicians over matters which are internal issues for Australia.
Letters to the editor, in response to these reports, from Australian readers, including those of Chinese background, expressed a variety of views both in support and against these claims.

I did post a report and link to "The Age" ( a left of centre newspaper ) and its discussion of these recent events, however for some reason it got "lost" in the BBS system.

Same Old Dogs, Same Old Bags of Fleas

Here's the membership of this flea bag commission.  Each and everyone of them is a pedigreed China hater.  Note how half of them are Jewish.  ( Jews in Congress have been most hostile to the Chinese national interest for decades now; they are the most vociferous against China's unification with Taiwan, and the most supportive of subversives in China. )  There is simply no way China will get a fair shake out of this bunch of clowns.

Every chance there is, China should expressly tell these jerks to feck off.
