The U.S. owes China around 2 trillion dollars. How might patent violations and industrial espionage by China (and the U.S.) figure in modifying this debt? In that regard it seems to me that China is undermining the U.S. economy by being the stealthiest of thieves. Can the debt be further...

I can understand that a paper like the China Daily censors posters on the forums. What I don't understand is that they allow blatant racism and worse. A guy with the moniker "Hsun Tze" makes a very bad example of Chinese. His constant ranting on "the white westerners" would be ridiculous enough...

On the whole, he looks like a good choice. Irrespective of political considerations.
Of course that also likely means there goes one potential contender in 2012. Not that he would be a threat necessarily to Obama. From Huntsman's point of view it looks like it may be a good move for 2016...
