China - foreign foe or future friend?

Check out the link for more human rights abuses from the Chinese.

I find it hard to keep from thinking China is just the Soviet Union, redux. They have cultivated a softer image, engaged in economic trade with us, etc. But their values are Marxist, fascist and atheistic.

I have several friends who have been to China, short and long term, and they all have seemed hesitant to criticize the government, having had good experiences there. Any comment from you who have been there?

WHy single out this country, of the many that violate rights?
1. They're the biggest and most significant.
2. They're the most interested in good relations with USA.
3. I've heard a great deal through outfits like Voice of the Martyrs of house churches persecuted there.
4. The church there is growing rapidly, and may have a strong influence on its emerging modern culture.
