Beware the dangerous Chinese!

Post by Alyeska »

Pulled right from my local paper. I found this gem or a letter to the editor and I just had to post it.
We are in a desperate situation due to the fact that the Red Chinese and Cosco (the Chinese shipping agency) are spending more of their finaces every day making their stronghold at Pier J more of a base of operations.

They have forced out a lot of other shipping companies, they have realigned roads, and dredged a lot of new spaces for their Chinese ships.

They have surrounded the area with Cosco's uniformed guards, getting well fixed to stop any American who comes to close. They are gaining more ground every day.

We Americans are in grade danger, if we only admit to what's going on at Pier J.

Cosco is just a front for the Chinese army, who would like nothing better than to see us fall. Come on, all of you American citizens, let's wake up to reality.
I guess this crackpot doesn't realize that China lacks the capability to invade Tawain let alone the United States.

Hell, even if this WAS true, its still a pathetic attempt. They would have at best a handful of tanks and infantry with NO naval support (no PRC-N ships would ever make it to the coast) and no air support.

This idiot is a crackpot. Sadly we have several in this part of Montana. There are a couple more who argue that China is going to blow up the Panama Canal (ignoring the fact that its a fat cat money maker) and yet more argue that China is massing troops in Alberta and British Columbia and are planning on invading into Montana.

So they forced out other shipping companies? Sounds like capitalist competition to me.
yet more argue that China is massing troops in Alberta and British Columbia and are planning on invading into Montana.
More like immigrants are using Canada as a stepping stone to get to the U.S. Pretty common practice, actually. Canada's pretty open to immigrants, especially for people from Hong Kong. Spend a couple years and work a few paper works and they could enter U.S. In fact, international grad students and doctorates frequently go to Canada to if their U.S. visa expires, hoping to get back in someday.
