Why Did the U.S. Choose to Disrespect China?



Chinese President Hu Jintao's recent visit to the United States illustrated America's traditional contempt for China and possibly Asian people in general. First of all, the U.S. refused to grant the Chinese request for an Official State Visit. The Chinese President was forced to meet Bill Gates first in Seattle before he was allowed to formally meet with the President of the United States. When Hu Jintao finally did get to the South Lawn of the White House, somehow a Falun Gong heckler received a high-security clearance pass and interrupted the ceremony with cruel and rude remarks directed at the Chinese President. Also at that ceremony, while introducing the Chinese National Anthem, a White House announcer used the offical name of Taiwan instead of China. Nothing could be more grating or disrespectful to a Chinese President than that. Finally, as the ceremony ended, President George Bush prematurely led Mr. Jintao in the wrong direction, then was forced to grap the Chinese President by the arm and pull him back in another direction. The overall impression at the ceremony was that the U.S. has a deep, underlying disrespect for China and only begrudgingly will grant honors to the greatest country in Asia.
