Why the hell is it that Despite the Fact that China is Manipulating their Currency Value to our Detriment, Despite the Fact that they side against us in the UN almost all the time, Despite the Fact that we "OWE" them A trillion dollars, and Despite the Fact that their Economy is about to Eclipse ours as the Biggest in the world.
WE STILL FUCKING GIVE CHINA AID.
I mean WTF.

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, foreign aid to China totals $2.6 billion a year. The biggest donor is Japan, followed by Germany, France and Britain, then the U.S. All of these countries, meanwhile, are in debt to China and running massive deficits.
U.S. aid, at $65 million a year, is relatively small thanks to sanctions imposed following Beijing's 1989 military crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators at Tiananmen Square. Still, why are we sending China any succor at all?
But the aid is next to impossible to justify when you consider the following facts:
Beijing spends at least $100 billion a year building up its military and training the world's largest army.
It spends billions more on a space program.
It spent tens of billions on the 2008 Olympics.
It holds some $2.5 trillion in foreign reserves.
It boasts the world's most billionaires after the U.S.
Yet China still has its hand out, as if it were a Third World developing nation. And we keep treating it like a charity case.
We have got to be the Stupidest Country on the Face of the earth.
