The Quito Hoy newspaper reported last week that four containers were discovered in Guayaquil during a ceremony. The shipment included 12,000 uniforms, two helicopters, nine dump trucks and other military equipment.
I know there are many people out there that do not see China as anything to get worried about at this time. Many of them think that as we help facilitate their transition to freer markets, they will eventually embrace the concept of more political freedom. But I am skeptical.
China has been courting South American governments and has supplied military goods to Cuba in the past.
If this story is true, there are many possible explanations. One of which, is they are trying to arm rebels in third world countries, for the eventual overthrow of any government that is friendly with the U.S.

I don't trust China's intentions.
That is a damn good place to start. With the '08 race money raising getting into swing, with HRC in the lead for the democrats, I wonder if they are going to try to buy a Clinton again.
You know they will, Mark.
Buying a Latin American country will help the cash flow.
China has an ambition to become the leader of developing countries. They find every occasion to challenge the United Sates, Japan, and Taiwan.
How can people change their behavior? Let's demand them "Speak English!"
