Subject: If war broke out between the U.S. and China
Should the US detain chinese sympathizers into detention camps like the Japanese in WWII?
And note I am not speaking simply of ethnics/race, I am talking about frothing China supporting protesters like Twatter.
Should they be rounded up and incarcerated until the end of hostilities when China is forced to sign a surrender, or does freedom reign supreme even when its a threat?

What say you?

You actually think America wouldn't round up all "Asian Americans" in the case of an all out war with China?

The funny thing is that they'd probably be tossed into reservations with the Injuns, and then survive while all the whites and their cotton pickers were nuked into radioactive puddles of lard laugh

It's a good question. It's not something we've had to consider in a long time because we never go to war with countries of significance.

There would be so many China sympathizers that we wouldn't have nearly enough law enforcement agents to monitor them.

Its funny Twatter because I think your reading comprehension as bad as it is, is actually above average for China in general.

Yep. It would pretty much be the whole world on the Chinese side, considering China would never go on the offensive.

I think instead of rounding them up - we just have a casting call and have a reality show of nothing but Chinese sympathizers.


Obviously just by living here they fully understand that America is ten times better than China ever could be. But they would feel this uncontrollable desire to support China.



Just imagine a TV with 30 or 50 Twatters just trying to out do each other? Just have twitter interaction so that people can say random things and then watch them kill each over trying to respond.

They wouldn't do anything if China was defending herself.

if war broke out with China, would the chinese people even know?

oh btw mr. China, was there a coup attempt two nights ago? Obviously there is no media there to report on stuff, but the market sure seemed to support the rumors. A major shakeup is certainly coming that will either increase or decrease the chances of a conflict with the United States.

Of course when this happens, they will just pull the plug on the internet and we won't actually know what is going on in China.

Uh, if by "coup attempt" do you mean the dismissal of Bo Xilai? It's amazing what people regurgitate when they get all their news from the fevered masturbators at Fox, CNN, BBC, der Spiegel, etc.

not often that a Ferarri accident causes global markets to react.

I am not 100% positive, but I doubt any of those news outlets discussed Bo Xilai's dismissal for more than 30 seconds. I read about it here:

You do realize that Bo was a Communist hardliner, right? As opposed to "liberals" like Wen Jiabao?

ummm, yea. If there was a coup, don't you think it would certainly be the hardline Communists throwing out the pro-Westernization types like Jiabao/Jintao?

Though I was speaking more to the fact that if/when this happens, there will be an essential news blackout. A blogger I read who lives in China said "the reason I'm sure there is no coup going on, is I'm able to post this message to you". He is probably right.

Considering Bo was thrown out (the event that prompted you to ask the question), any "coup" would be against the hardliners. Wouldn't that please you? I don't see what your point is. If no one knows about it, it doesn't count as a coup.

We'd just ask the Japanese to pacify them. They rushed them once without trouble. I am sure the Japanese would roll over them again easily.

Were the Chinese ever allowed out of their "towns" here in the USA? Like any "colored" people there wouldn't be much rounding up involved.

It would be a beast to invade, but outside of it's borders it's less of a threat than some much smaller countries.

I'd say bad idea. Regardless who starts what, rounding up citizens is a terribad idea. At best, I'd expect additional monitoring of recent immigrants in regards potential terrorist cell activity (which I expect is going on anyhow, regardless of country of origin). But just en mass grab Chinese Americans? frack that noise.

Define "Win".

Abrupt loss of access to cheap Chinese goods is more likely to destabilize the US than any military exchange, happens about a week after every Walmart in the country is shuttered and people start noticing it's hard to even buy eggs because all the packaging was imported.

It's that way by design, it would cost too much to start wars all over the world like America does.

I'm sure you think that, given that you're mentally retarded. Japan would be flattened in seconds - but I guess they'd just get even more Chinese y-DNA in their bloodlines in the end.

You're painfully, painfully retarded. China was in the middle of a civil war and still managed to exact a close death ratio on better equipped Japanese soldiers. They just took their anger out on civilians.

Doesn't change the fact that at least 25% of them have an ancestor who spread their legs willingly for some random Chinese guy.

But here's a list of wars Shitaly or America have won in the last 50 years:

we didnt do it to russians or germans or italians..

americans probably singled out the japanese because they werent white and werent seen as human. it wouldnt happen again because we see all races as more or less equal. white people still view brown people as less than equal..but its not like 50 years ago.
