Who The Fuck Let Him Out Of The Asylum?

The world is watching to see whether China will chart a path towards a more open society, and wondering why it is concealing the pace of its military spending, U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday. [...]

Rumsfeld accused China of understating the scope of its Defence spending, and he said this is sowing suspicion about how China intends to use its growing military might.

In an interview aboard his plane en route from Washington, Rumsfeld questioned China's motives in underreporting its Defence spending. He mentioned no figures, but the Pentagon said last summer that China may be spending US$90 billion on Defence this year -- three times the announced total.

And about 20% of the U.S. total, with a population four times as large. If the "world" truly is more concerned with Chinese military than U.S. military spending and designs, then let's hear the World's heads of states say so with their own mouths. What, they're so terrified of the big bad Chinese that they need this kook to speak for them?
