10 Reasons You Should Fear the Chinese

As an American, the Chinese scare me.

This was going to be a well-reasoned post with lots of supporting detail, but because of time limitations I'll opt instead for a top 10 list:

1. They own most of our debt
2. They are pushing for a new global currency (lose your money, lose your power)
   
3. They are the largest manufacturing sector in the world
4. They have the largest population in the world
5. They already have nukes and they are in the process of strengthening their military
6. They have a brutal, aggressive, and repressive regime that brooks no interference (Tiananmen Square, anyone?)
7. They have an active and state sponsored computer hacking team
8. They make most of the computer equipment
9. They hate us and have published a 50 year plan to destroy us (economically first by using our own money)
10. They hate religion and the Catholic Church

And THAT, among other things, is why Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is the wrong guy for this job.
