Chinese media unloads on hypocritical Romney

BEIJING, Sept 14 (Reuters) - U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's attacks on China and promise to name the country a currency manipulator if elected are foolish and hypocritical, China's official Xinhua news agency said on Friday.

In a strongly worded English-language commentary, Xinhua said Romney's anti-China rhetoric, if converted into policy upon him assuming office, would trigger a catastrophic trade war and damage the already weak global economic recovery.

"It is rather ironic that a considerable portion of this China-battering politician's wealth was actually obtained by doing business with Chinese companies before he entered politics," Xinhua wrote.

Bingo... rofllol

Yes, all of that "business experience" with vulture-capital, and companies that "pioneered outsourcing" is coming back to haunt him. And he's SO politically astute with anything involving "foreign policy"...

Remind me why I should care what the Chinese think?
