What has really changed to make China an American friend and Allie?

Question

During the Vietnam war China was helping the Viet cong!

What has changed? Are they still communist?

Answer 1

There is no friendship between the US and China. It is an alliance of convenience and nothing more.

It's all about the money.

Answer 2

Well, firstly we are not friends or allies. In the world of international relations I don't even know if such an individual abstract like "friends" even exist. Countries tend to have what I call "shared interests". The change in the relationship between China and the US (which actually began with the Nixon Administration) is do to our shared interests in keeping North Korea Cool and not allow The Middle East difficulties to send the worlds oil supply into turmoil. (Though China is showing signs of looking toward Africa).

If you think am wrong about my shared interest theory just think of say our relations with Saddam Hussein and Iraq in the 1980's or for an even better example Stalin in the 1940s. I mean come on anyone who want to says slobodan milosevic or Saddam (or Hitler for that matter) was a mass murderer must have never hear of Joseph Stalin. " Shared Interest."

Answer 3

Fear of losing financial and political weight; China have been in the "modern" politics game for a lot longer than the U.S. and European countries and know what they're doing. They are currently buying up most of the world and will compete with the U.S. as the dominent "superpower" within the next 20 years or so. They are technically "Maoist" but this appears to be a front for an increasingly Capitalist mindset.

Answer 4

The USA is deeply in debt to China.
China has the largest foreign reserves in dollars in the world (900 billion).
So the USA dare not do anything to upset China.

Answer 5

I oppose to one in each and every of those team up thoroughly, yet you should comprehend that we owe China loads of debt and we will not only cut back off with China with the aid of fact they are distinctly lots our boss and the situations are of their want to call the photos. we will not only say "f*** you China!" or our project gets lots worse and we are able to't be chummy with China with the aid of fact they have performed loads of sneaky and underhanded evil deeds which will bring about tyranny in our own usa. they are already spying on our computers and stealing suggestions on our own secrets and techniques yet yet we don't try this to China with the aid of fact all of us understand this is incorrect and is going against our ethical code except they are plotting to attack us and kill us. the united statesand China are terrible allies with the aid of fact the chinese language are polar opposite from what we are. something isn't genuine right here and its getting worse

Answer 6

they finally understood that capitalism works
our economies are way too tied together both sides no that a war would only bring both of us down...recently they are basically communist by name only yet they have many many signs of a capitalist country, but NOT a democratic country

Answer 7

Friend and Ali?, Don't count on it. Yes, they are still a communist country, and I think the only thing that has changed is the fact that they are in talks with North Korea who America believes to have Nuclear weapons. And we buy a lot of their stuff cheap!!! Friend...Use it loosely and carry a big stick.

Answer 8

What has changed is Bush is president. And he has borrowed over $250 million from the Chinese. They own us. I bet my life we never attack China !

Answer 9

Money changes everything

Answer 10

THE CHINESE ARE CAPITALISTS WITH A COMMUNIST GUISE. THEY GET BUSINESS FROM THE U.S.

HEY, MONEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PREHISTORIC CONCEPTS OF COMMUNISM.
