"US embassy reflects growing China ties" by Tini Tran, Associated Press | August 5, 2008
BEIJING - A massive new US Embassy, the second-largest in the world after the heavily fortified compound in Baghdad, formally opens in the Chinese capital this week, a testament to the depth and breadth of the ties binding the trading partners and sometimes rivals.
Then I NEVER want to hear any WAR TALK, 'kay?
President Bush, who will be attending the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies Friday, is to preside over the ribbon-cutting at the $434 million, 500,000-square-foot compound that same day. The broadening of the relationship has more to do with China's emergence as an economic and political force than with US policy."
And the fact that they loan us $$$$ for our wars.
