I am anything but a defender of the fool in the White House,but I believe
that anything that is bad for the Chinese Communist Party is good for the
human species,and anything that is good for the Chinese Communist Party is
bad for the human species.

A China that is controlled by a bloody-handed one-party dictatorship is
one no one should oblige.

I fail to see how appeasing the dictators is a particular priority for
cryonics or immortalism...indeed,I favor withholding serious research
efforts on longevity from China until the Communists have fallen(the
verifiable centenarian density there is apparently not that great even
though there have been extreme claims),and counsel patience.

If it makes you feel any better,much of what Bush "approved" was
empty talk...the diesel submarines he said could be sold,in fact
can not be built.
