Is China a Threat?

 The Sino-American relationship has been volatile over the last past decades, however how could it really be defined? Considering each country’s economical ideologies and interests we could arrive to a conclusion that there is a lot of disagreement between the two. With the increase of American involvement all around the world and at the same time the increase of China’s military power and economy under communist rule, it is almost natural that tensions between the two countries will become rough. There have been boycotts of China’s Olympic Games here in the United States due to the reactions Americans have about communism in China, this is one of the many examples of how fragile the interaction between the two countries can be. What Americans don’t realize is that the majority of Chinese people are content with their government and one of the reasons of their economic improvement has been accomplished under a communist economic structure, Americans may argue about the political prisoners of China and their social inequalities, but what country does not have this problems? America? NO. Let’s just look at the prisons in Iraq and the abuses from American soldiers to the prisoners, also at the discrimination from Americans to immigrants and Middle East people. In order to keep peace in this world each country has to stay out of other county’s affairs. America?

  

Why is Che Guevara disliked in the United States?

Take time to analyze this video

  

            I find it very interesting when I see videos like this, which make sarcastic and unethical criticism of Che and Communism. They don’t realize that the United States has killed way more people than Che Guevara. It is very sad to see this in professional television. I am not generalizing about America or American media, but I think in cases like this, one should make reality be known.

 

            It is obvious that Che Guevara is not commonly viewed as a heroic figure here in the states like in a lot of countries around the world, from South America to South Africa Che is admired and respected. By the way I am not including the ignorant teenagers that wear Che Guevara t-shirts, since most of these young pop culture followers do not have the sketchiest idea of what Che stands for.

            How could we explain the dislike for Che Guevara in the United States, when so many people in the world venerate him? There is a simple answer for this question that may puzzle our minds. The answer lies behind the United States economical system and international politics. Che Guevara was against both, and he not only made this known to the public through his persuasive speeches, but also took action to fight for what he believed was right. Che Guevara fought for a pure form of democracy, which is founded on the basis of a well administered communist system, not the kind led by Stalin, which was not even communism; it was abuse of power in the name of communism.

            Che Guevara was against inequality, stratification of races, corruption and imperialism, things that the United Sates was promoting indirectly through its presence in countries all over the world. The Unites States backed up a corruptive elite in Bolivia and Cuba. It went to Vietnam for no apparent reason, just to fight that thing called communism, which just as capitalism is a system of economy whose ultimate goal is utopia. However, the United States irrationally thought this thing called communism was going to take over the world, and therefore interfere with their economical power; clearly when invading Vietnam they were led by their egorism.
