Most of us know that China owns roughly 2.3 Trillion dollars in U.S. Treasuries. What that means is that China is the largest owner of US Debt. The U.S. Government will try their hardest to make it seem like this does not affect our decision making in any way but for the first time recently we got a glimpse of what our future could be like.
For the first time since 1991 a sitting US President did not meet with the Dalai Lama when he visited Washington. For those of you who are not aware the Dalai Lama is the spiritual and political leader of Tibet. The Chinese have argued that they control Tibet since the 1300's and since the 1950's this has long been an area of tension and conflict for both the world and China.
Is President Obama's refusal to meet with the Dalai Lama a show of respect to the Chinese? Did he forget the human rights atrocities that China has committed within the borders of Tibet?
This is extremely scary to me and should be to you as well. Modifying actions for the Chinese is immoral and completely contrary to what the U.S. has stood for. A champion for the people like President Obama should defy China and all they stand for: Socialism, not listening to its citizens, media censorship.
But wait... it seems like that's where we are heading.
