THBT we should boycott the Beijing Olympics for security

Warm salutations Wang: There is no need to apologize for your English skills as I believe they are quite good. I believe we will have a truly exciting debate. Now let me address your remarks. First you mentioned that the companies that are contributing to the pollution are foreign owned and that blaming the Chinese government is inaccurate. I disagree. No foreign company may enter into Chinese territory without the consent of the Chinese government. Companies must follow standard business protocals set up by the Chinese government and the officials who are in charge of monitoring the situation. TO say that foreign owned governments are solely at fault is for you to admit that your government either does not care about what these companies do or they lack the power to enforce rules and laws of business on Chinese territtory. To do so means admitting that the Chinese cannot govern their own country and if they cannot govern their own country, does the world want an Oympic event in a country of uncertainty? Yes it can be argued that most of the goods manufactured in China are for the consumption primarily for people outside of China, yet once again, it was the Chinese leaders who agreed upon to enter into these ventures into the first place with these companies. The polluting standards, policies, procedures and enforcements i.e. penalties and fines China has for companies is far more lenient than those of other countries which make China a natural selection to invest as they do not necessarily have to spend money on eco-friendly technology. To draw money into China which in turn is used to expand their military and space efforts, the Chinese government chose to overlook their own environmental concerns. They chose not to carefully examined the possible ecological risks incurred by their decisions. As for your comment that China has been mutually beneficial for both rich and poor nations, well the only examples you gave were of two nations that were already developed. As for the trade surplus argument, it only entails that the Chinese people also have a taste for material goods, the same goods you mentioned that the foreign companies were producing and likewise if we were to use your argument that these products are being used for only those outside China, well we run into a brickwall here. As for my opinion on whether it aids smaller nations China undermines organizations like ASEAN and other poorer nations simply because China has an overwhelming underpaid and populace labor force. Furthermore, scandals of sweatshops, of prison inmates being used for labor and simply low cost laborers give China an incredible economic edge for the smaller nations to compete on the global market therefore stifling efforts for greater global improvement upon the smaller and poorer nations. The desertification process is a Chinese problem and now a regional Asian crisis because the growth of the Chinese economy has created an overabundant need for lumber as well. The government's decision to chop down forest intensified the expansion process of the desert as there were no trees to block the foreboding advance of the desert. You cannot excuse the notion that China has a short period of time to resolve the crisis as I believe the announcements that China was to hold the Olympics was 1,4440 days or 4 years. I believe that China has had more than ample time to respond to the crisis. It is simply a matter of too little and too late. You mention that China needs to create an advance army to protect itself nor does it position itself as a country that would take over other countries. Yet China continues to state that Taiwan is a renegade nation, when those who deem themselves native of the island considered themselves seperate from the Chinese people. Countless of times has China threatened to use physical force if the nation of Taiwan were to declare themselves free. China threatens and postures itself against other nations who even mention to aknowledge Taiwan as a legitimate nation. Furthermore, you cannot ignore China too had and perhaps has had ambitions towards other Asian countries Chinese expanded into areas like Mynamar, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Korea. Your history is also inundated with stories of warlord conflicts and emperors like Shi Huang di and also that of the Han Dynasty were they killed their own people as well as of neighboring countries to expand their territory. In addition, China's new development of a fighter craft is one that is an attack craft and not one for self-defense. China'a Jian-10 heralds a new movement in China's desire to advance and explore possible military means by which they can bully their neighbors. Their launch and successful attack on a weather satellite to which neither the Russians and the US have done shows an aggressive posturing towards nations. Why create a satellite attack missile to kill satellites if China has nothing they wish to hide? China also has the world's largest conventional force and on a regional basis can overpower any nation around them. The unwillingness for China to open to the public and for that matter to the world how much they are spending on their military adds more mystery and doubt as to what they plan on doing with all the money they are using. (http://www.comw.org...). And if China is truly growing economically for the benefit of its people and not its military, well why then is there still a great deal of poverty as you mention there is? Various reports and indicators indicate that China is said to possess the second largest economy after the US and most like will be the largest in the upcoming future. With such wealth, one cannot imagine why the general population of China still suffer in poverty unless for some reason or another, the Chinese government is allotting their money for other strategic purposes i.e. the military(http://www2.goldmansachs.com...)
