China is not a friend of the US and should not have been praised during President Obama's State of the Union speech Tuesday, real estate magnate Donald Trump said.

In a speech that "was mostly talk," the most disturbing part for the New York-based developer was the president's decision to praise technological and business advances in China, long an economic nemesis for the US.

"I thought the low point was when he talked about how great China was," Trump said in a CNBC interview. "To me that was inappropriate to have in this speech, especially in light of what has happened with China."

The president singled out China for the advances it made in education and held the nation up as an example for what the US should be doing.

"Meanwhile, nations like China and India realized that with some changes of their own, they could compete in this new world," Obama said. "And so they started educating their children earlier and longer, with greater emphasis on math and science.

"They're investing in research and new technologies. Just recently, China became home to the world's largest private solar research facility and the world's fastest computer."



The remarks came on the heels of a high-profile visit between Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao in which the leaders pledged to forge closer ties. During the visit, Obama praised China for making progress on human rights and said the two nations should strive for an environment of "cooperation" and "friendly competition."

For Trump, though, the president's posture is symptomatic of the raw deal the US is getting with its international trading partners.

"I understand the Chinese, and I understand they are not a friend of this country," he said.

"We had this tremendous deficit with China last year and we had that with many other countries. We can't be doing that," he later added. "We have become a whipping post for many of the smart countries of the world."

I want to pimp slap Obama so badly!

I mean chill my hand and wear a lot of bling when my hand smacks that stupid azzkisser!

God I hope Trump runs in 2012.

Why? Trump's infamous for hiding behind the bankruptcy laws. A lot of his companies have filed for protection from creditors at one time or another, some more than once.

Maybe he hates the Chinese because he knows they see right through his act?

Funny thing about China, they bought more GM vehicles than were sold in the USA.

So that is how they got the technology to make a stealth fighter!

Wow...just think how much richer Trump would be if he could have got same terms GM got in bankruptcy...

I think the Stealth was a Dodge......not GM.

I don't really care about "The Donald's" opinion. But I was not inspired by the speech either. Sad.
