Maintaining security doesn't mean fear IMO...China is a threat. I don't think any of what he said is a surprise to anyone, and I don't think the talk means much. It's the actions that matter.
Why are they our enemy or something. One only excludes enemies. Far as I know everyone keeps saying they are not our enemy. One doesnt borrow from ones enemy. Or at least they are not suppose to.
In some respects yes they are the enemy. But it's not a street fight, talking about not showing fear and not borrowing money. Obviously the two economies are very intertwined. It's a tightrope our government has been walking for a while.
