Is the Chinese government telling the U.S. government
we're tired of how you're behaving around the world?
My belief as a U.S. citizen that not only China but
the rest of the world is getting tired of our government
bullying other nations.

If they're anything like our government they
won't confirm it. It's not a concern as much
as it's a message. I believe many nations would
fall in line with the first superpower to speak
against the current U.S. policies. To be honest,
I wouldn't blame them. ‹(°¿°)›

The more nations that have not only the
military might but also the economical
strength, the more the world will be a
peaceful place. Look at it this way.
One day I believe all will realize;
"An attack on your neighbor is an attack on yourself."

i believe any major power would like to be prepared in case a rogue
outfit fires a missile at them/
as to your "behaving around the world" point, sometimes i think there
might be something to that/
why should the French tell the US how to hold Church, or what type of
government to have, or how to conduct foreign trade?

I couldn't have said it better myself.
What's happening in our country at present,
is a delusional man thinking he has absolute
power. Something has to give. ‹(°¿°)°

I would not say China is giving the U.S. a warning.
China has the right, as a sovereign nation, to take decisions regarding its defense program as do other nations and that includes testing the capabilities of its defense systems and its technology.
China has consistently conveyed the message it is a peaceful country and seeks to remain peaceful and productive.
The real question, though, is why is everything a "threat" when filtered through the perspective of the U.S.?

They absolutely have a right to test their
weapon systems.
Think of it this way though. Bush is just
itching to invade Iran. That's a fact. You
watch the news, you see the evidence he's
gathering. Do you really think he's sending
20,000+ soldiers to Iraq to help a losing
cause. Oh no no. This is so that if he decides
to invade, then the extra manpower will be in
place. Even if the new Congress doesn't approve
it, he can still do so with Executive power
granted the president during war time.
Now back to China. They are a huge consumer of
oil and they pay higher prices for it than we do.
I f we put more oil in jeopardy, not only will
we suffer but they will as well. They have to
look after their interests as we do ours. Even
though they are a quiet and peaceful nation,
there is a breaking point for all.
Have you heard the saying. "Walk softly but carry
a big stick," that's China. Anything they're doing
right now is timed and calculated. I hate to say
this but they're a much smarter nation than we are
and they react more subtle than we do.
This is an obvious message if not warning, telling
us to slow down. The reason I say this is because
they've shown by this test how vulnerable we are.
The world does have to place trade embargoes or
sanctions against us to cripple us. Like we do to
countries we don't like. It can be done almost
immediately by shooting down a few of our satellites.
If our government didn't take it as a threat or
warning than they wouldn't have said a thing.
We never scold India for performing their tests.
Think about it, really think about it.
