Reid Calls Chinese President a 'Dictator' as State Visit Begins

There is no fair exchange rate with China and the Chinese junk arrives by the truck loads. American companies have increased exports and outsourced their underwear for the time being but lack control in fair business practices. China rules while allowing no American business to own property. Coca Cola has made long standing deals but they nod to exchange rates, binding trade policies and slave labor. We owe billions in interest alone and China is not threatened by demands in fair trade or currency rates. They quickly back off. Like Donald Trump stated, the Chinese are intelligent and cunning. Americans need to stop buying Chinese imports because survival of the fittest necessitates consumer intelligence.

Reid obviously likes the way the Chinese Goverment works. It was a positive comment not a negative one! Perhaps that is why behind closed doors and with a slight of hand these far left progressive Democrats and the Obama Adminsitration are doing. Changing America's liberties to a socialistic dictatorship so goverment controls you ever thought and deed!

What's it going to take for Americans...especially those who voted for Reid to vote him out of office? Seems this is an administration of people who make "stupdid" and "inappropriate" remarks. Just another case of those in power who don't represent the American people properly. Just my opinion.

Any politician Democrat or Republican is strong within his group. Get them alone and they don't know what to do or say. Just like elementary school bullies.

Does this guy Reid know anything about diplomacy? China is a different country with huge problems. Our form of Democracy would be of little help to them. Let's show some respect for their system which probably gets more done than ours could.

It appears that Reid wasn't on the same page as President Obama. For, at least, the last 2 years, he hasn't been on the same page as the American People. So what's new ? Some men reach the point, where they should retire and fade away, quicker than other men. I believe Reid has already reached that point. It seems Hispanics voted him back into office in Nevada. No wonder Reid pushes for the illegals.

harry should stay in vegas..what happens in vegas, stays in vegas..i sure wish he would have done just that.

I'm an American who grew up in the Midwest as a tool&die maker making a pretty good living in Ohio. I'm ever amazed at how many Americans blame China and
all counties in the Asian area of the world for America's lose of manufacturing
jobs. In reality NOTHING and I mean NOTHING in America happens without the blessing of our government and I mean BOTH political parties. I recall a media
coverage in D.C. when Bill Clinton was still President and he was about to sign some Global trade deals which included NAFTA and who do you think was there in the front row as a invited guest, George Bush (senior), cherring this event as something he was in favor of. The American government and you know Wall street was
involved for the lose of millions of American jobs that have been signed away in Washington over the last 15 years by both political parties.

Look who's talking. Reid has pushed legislation he knew was unpopular with the American people and did so anyway. Obamacare and the "Dream Act' are just two examples...

I'm not sure I can disagree with Reid's statement. I thought China WAS a communist dictatorship. I even went online to double check. Am I missing something? Or is this just another one of those politically based media retoric stories pushing the hate, fear and lies agenda??

What's wrong with calling a spade a spade anyway? Considering that China seems to be doing pretty darn good these days, I don't think any of us are in a position to consider dictatorship a bad word, especially when our country seems to be indirectly benifiting!! Who are we to judge anyway? Maybe, just maybe, dictatorship works for them right now....making it sound like a bad term seems to be OUR problem judging from this article. If democracy is so great, then why can't we seem to get anything done in this country? HUH? Seems we are setting a pretty bad example of what we consider a great form of government.


Maybe it's time everybody take a trip over to China before considering dictatorship a BAD word! You may actually find yourself thinking for a change!

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for democracy, but lately I see money and big business ruling our country, NOT the people. If "the end justifis the means", then consider the benifactors in the end of everything we do and help convience me othewise. It won't be obvious until it's too late, and a depression will be inevitable. Had we not bailed out the banks, we would have been there already, but we choose to take the less painful path, to buy time and help the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Eventually even that bubble will burst!
