China locks villages down to halt spread of foot-and-mouth
Chinese authorities barred access yesterday to villages outside Beijing where they reportedly have slaughtered thousands of cows to stop an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease.

Police at roadblocks stopped outsiders from entering the villages northwest of the Chinese capital and the roads were wet with what appeared to be disinfectant. Foreign reporters who tried to visit the area were temporarily detained.

Health and agriculture officials have refused to confirm a report by Hong Kong's South China Morning Post newspaper that cows have been slaughtered in an attempt to stop an outbreak of foot-and-mouth. Residents of the area, contacted by phone, confirmed that thousands of animals had been destroyed but said they didn't know why. The residents wouldn't give their names.

At first I was confused but now it's all clear to me. The Bush Crime Family/Military Industrial Complex/Corporate America are purposely building Communist China up so that the Bush Crime Family/Military Industrial Complex/Corporate America have an "Evil Doer" thus resulting in the need for more defense spending for a long time into the future. They're proping up China for after The Bush Crime Family has slaughtered all the Muslims on Earth.
