good question.
because in America business always trumps everything else.
we put our business interess ahead of everything else. we only champion human rights when it is in our business interests. when it is not, we blindly look the other way. this is why america has had positive relationships with lots of dictators and horrible abusers of human rights over the years.
oh, and by the way, china is not really "communist" anymore. it's communist in name only. china is in reality one of the most capitalist places on earth. it's FAR more capitalistic than the United States!

For once I agree. China is bad bad bad bad. China is on its way to controlling the World. 60% of our dry goods are now made in China. This is because of the Free Trade Acts. Write your congressmen and demand that these acts be revoked before it is too late. American companies have totally sold out the US. When you purchase a shirt made in India, it was made by slave labor. When you purchase your Sony "technocrapo" it was made in China with forced labor. Yeah, Sony is now produced in China. Start checking where things are made and it should scare the he*l out of you. The whole liberal, conservative cra* will flee from your mind.

The cynical answer is this-money. The less cynical answer is that it would be foolish not to be engaged with 1/4 of mankind and the US can be a good influence on the PRC. It's the logic of "constructive engagement". There will always be people who rationalize away Chinese human rights abuses with the idea that a nation with a huge population/deep poverty requires a heavy-handed goverment to make "progress".

The answer to this question goes back a ways. At least back to Kissinger and Nixon. Then Carter. They kicked Taiwan, a Christian Democratic-republic out of the UN and invited red China.
Interestlingly, the idea was to democratize China, and it would appear to be working.

I do agree with you completely. I was in the military for over 20 years and thought we were fighting communism , yet the U,S, and Britain forced many democratic governments out and put communist back in their place , Cuba had a dictator but a friendly one but, we helped oust him and put Castro in when we knew he was dyed in the wool commie, we forced the white democratically elected out of office in South Africa, and Rhodesia, and installed known communist , these were prosperous civilized country's now look at them starving , law of the jungle, with murder, rape as prevalent as in the Congo,
