>Saudi Arabia an enemy too

Drop the "enemy" talk. If there are good reasons not to do business with Saudi Arabia you can state them and if there are good reasons not to do business with America you can state those as well. None of that is relevant to whether there are good reasons to not do business with China.

That's my point too. It's just business. Democracy, human rights and freedom have no value.

Saudi Arabia beheads, hangs people in public squares, butchers reporters and does everything an "evil" government could do. However it is praised(by the US) as a great "beautiful" country and gets the latest "beautiful" military gear to spread its "goodness" to other countries such Yemen.

If there is one example that clears the fog about the US's stance on business and human rights that is Saudi Arabia.

I'm pretty sure the US would do business with a Nazi Europe as well if Hitler would have persuaded the US to become business partners instead of war enemies.
