China Visit a Corporate Trade Show

And guess who is the salesman:

"Obama presses China’s Hu on human rights; Leader’s visit also furthers economic ties" by Helene Cooper and Mark Landler, New York Times / January 20, 2011

A visit marked by public displays of pomp and harmony belied a more fractious relationship over matters that include North Korea and the Chinese currency....

Hu’s visit is giving Obama a rich opportunity to strengthen ties between the White House and the US business community after a year in which relations had soured.  

Even after he showered them with money and extended their tax cuts?

What a bunch of sick and ungrateful a**holes.

It's almost as if they were addicted to money like it was some sort of drug.

With the arrival last week of Obama’s new chief of staff, William Daley, the former Clinton administration commerce secretary, the White House has sought to turn Hu’s visit into a kind of trade show for US companies....

Among them Boeing, GE, and Honeywell.   

And with the bankers getting in there I don't want to see anymore war talk, 'kay?

Confronting another source of tension, Hu spoke of the need to have better relations between the two militaries. US officials worry about an increasingly defiant and independent Chinese military....

WTF did I just say? 

Btw, WHO HAVE THEY INVADED and OCCUPIED over lies in the LAST DECADE?

--more--"  

I'm surprised Iran wasn't mentioned in the article.
