It’s about time the US administration ‘kept it nose” out of other countries affairs. The whole word is in a mess due to its on going ‘war mongering’ and ‘regime change’ strategies which have always been geopolitically greed based. Just look at the LIES from the White House to create the Iraq War!!. This is the route cause of the current Middle East crisis and passive invasion of MILLIONS of Muslims moving into Europe!. A total US administration disaster!. President Bush is a ‘war criminal’ if ever there was one. China, indeed, has EVERY right to be concerned with the USA’s history of global interference, trouble making and on going war mongering. Take a breath US administration and look after your own domestic population.
