In his latest op-ed on the Wall Street Journal, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has blasted Barack Obama's China policy, calling his meetings with Vice President Xi Jinping earlier this week "empty pomp and ceremony", and criticising him for being a "near supplicant to Beijing." more ›

Rep. Pete Hoekstra's creepy, racist Superbowl ad was just asking to be spoofed. And now, Funny Or Die has come up with the first of what we think will be many parodies. more ›

Two interesting soundbytes from US presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich from the GOP debate in Florida Thursday night: more ›

Former US ambassador to China Jon Huntsman has decided to leave the circuit of crazy wingnuts to themselves by quitting the GOP nomination race for this year's presidential elections. The news comes barely a week after Huntsman declared that his third-place finish in the New Hampshire primary was a "ticket to ride" in South Carolina. more ›

"Afghanistan is not our nation's future; and Iraq is not this nation's future. Our nation's future is how prepared we are to rise up as the American people and hit head on the challenges of the 21st Century... you know what I'm talking about? This is about economics and this is about education. And this going to play out over the Pacific Ocean, in countries I have lived in... If we don't get our act together, we are going to see the end of the American Century by 2050; and we aren't going to let that happen are we?" more ›

"As they would say in China, 他不太了解这个情形, he doesn't quite understand the situation. What [Mitt Romney] is calling for would lead to a trade war. It makes for easy talk but it's far different from the reality in the US-China relationship. You slap on tariffs, you talk tough like that -- of course that's got to be part of it as well -- but in the end we get a tariff in return if we don't sit down and have a logical, sensible conversation. And who's hurt most? It hurts the small businesses, and the small exporters, who are trying to get back on their feet in this country in a time when this nation can least afford a trade war."

A shadowy group of Ron Paul supporters in New Hampshire calling themselves "NHLiberty4Paul" has put up an anti-Jon Huntsman ad featuring the former ambassador to China with his adopted daughter from China, Gracie, and another adopted daughter from India, Asha. The ad features clips of Huntsman speaking in Chinese (with a background soundtrack of traditional Chinese music) and asks viewers whether they think he espouses "American values? Or Chinese?" It then ends with the declaration,“American values and liberty. Vote Ron Paul.” More after the jump... more ›

Michele Bachmann, the candidate who said China is the real daddy of the USA, has blinded US satellites with their lasers, that America should be more like China, and that US taxpayers are funding the Chinese military, has bowed out of the GOP race after finishing a disappointing 5%. more ›

"We are in debt up to our ears to China. Well over $1 trillion we owe to them. That means we're making substantial interest payments to China. When we send our hard-earned money to China, that's our tax money. And what that means is we have less money for our military. And we just saw this year because of the failure of the Super Committee, $1 trillion less will be available for national defense. more ›

A few choice quotes from US presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's recent op-ed in the Washington Post entitled "China must respect the free trade system": more ›

Want to watch US congressional candidate Mark Amodei make an idiot of himself? Sure ya do. This is the Nevada candidate's election campaign video which consists of a mock Chinese news broadcast trumpeting the decline of the US and the rise of our own good fortunes. It then cuts to Amodei himself who says he would never let the China nightmare happen and then for good measure, utters the word "independence". We really like his classy scare-tactics, how Chinese troops are edited so that they're marching over DC, but most of all how we get called a "great empire". more ›
