The purpose of the bailout plan is to purchase illiquid mortgage backed securities (MBS) with the intent to increase the liquidity of the secondary mortgage markets and reduce potential losses encountered by financial institutions owning the securities. The draft proposal of the plan was received favorably by investors in the stock market.

This plan can be described as a risky investment, as opposed to an expense. The MBS within the scope of the purchase program have rights to the cash flows from the underlying mortgages. As such, the initial outflow of government funds to purchase the MBS would be offset by ongoing cash inflows represented by the monthly mortgage payments. Further, the government eventually may be able to sell the assets, though whether at a gain or loss will be known only in future.

I personally feel that the money is being used in the best possible way because we are starting to see some effects. The markets are recovering, economies world wide are starting to recover.

Will the 700 billion dollars for the bailout come from China?

The bailout did not get through Congress, but no, the money would come from the US taxpayers. Update: The bailout did pass, and the money is coming from the Treasury and Federal Reserve. This could be argued to suggest the money is coming from the taxpayers.

Federal government bailout plans of major corporations are just?

A very good question. Not an easy one to answer. Many legislators voted against the 700 billion bailout on the basis that it was not the purpose of government. President Bush stated that ordinarily, it would be his policy just to let corporations fail than to bailout them out. However, he supported the bailout plan on the basis that to do nothing could put the country in a long term depression. I suggest that those who wish to express their opinion use the "discuss" option, rather than continue to add to this answer.
