Ever since China opened its markets in the '80s, America and the Middle Kingdom have been throwing jabs at each other. In fact, just yesterday, CNN reported that a U.S. surveillance ship violated Chinese and international laws during patrols more than 100 miles off China's coast.

Now we're no experts on foreign affairs, but we do know there's one thing that both our our countries can agree on: hot women! And with China's 1.3 billion people, even if we assume only 1 percent of them are hot women, that's still 10.3 million Chinese beauties out there.

We heard she went to grade school in San Fransciso, so we're guessing she's down to do many things.
