New Paul Krugman would block the deal
[link|http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/27/opinion/27krugman.html|The Chinese Challenge]

... If it were up to me, I'd block the Chinese bid for Unocal. But it would be a lot easier to take that position if the United States weren't so dependent on China right now, not just to buy our I.O.U.'s, but to help us deal with North Korea now that our military is bogged down in Iraq.

This surprises me, I would have thought a liberal like Krugman would not object.

New Our economic power is being siphoned east
China is gonna own the US pretty soon. Its already over leveraged. Reminds me of the movie Americathon.
