US Should 'Shut Up' Over Beijing: China

The United States should "shut up" over Beijing's growing military spending, China's ambassador to the United Nations said in comments broadcast.

Ambassador Sha Zukang told BBC radio that US concerns about the country's burgeoning military might were misguided.

"It's better for the US to shut up," Sha said.

"Keep quiet. It's much, much better.

"China's military buildup is not threatening anyone," he added.

"This is a legitimate defence."

China's 2.3 million member People's Liberation Army is the world's largest fighting force, and Beijing has alarmed its neighbours with double digit percentage increases in military spending nearly every year for a decade.

Beijing has tried to allay such fears by saying much of its spending is defensive.

US President George W Bush's administration has called for closer military ties with China. But American officials, including Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, have expressed unease about Beijing's intentions and complained about its military secrecy.

Sha said other countries need not worry about China's growing economic and military might, because "China basically is a peace-loving nation".

Shut up about their military spending.
Shut up about their persecution of Catholics.
Shut up about their censoring of the internet.
Shut up about the Chinese people lack of freedom.
Shut up about their forced abortions.
Shut up about their murdering "third" babies.
Shut up about their persecution of Falun Gong.
Shut up about Tiananmen Square.
Shut up about Tibet.
Shut up about Taiwan.
Shut up about the state-controlled Catholic church in China ordaining Bishops without the approval of the Pope. (The Pope promptly excommunicated all 4 of them).

I know it's a hard concept for them to grasp...but we don't need their permission to comment on what we'd LIKE to comment on. They're just pissed cause someone dared speak up.
