Hooper_X Totally fake, but fantastic. LOOK AT OUR SIXTEENTH LARGEST CITY AND ITS AWESOME URBAN SQUALOR!!!
Smellvin 5 stars for saying that Chinese communism will be pushed across the globe... driven by Chinese business... I don't think that guy quite "gets" the whole communism idea.
EvilHomer I don't think China quite gets the whole communism idea.
voodoo_pork China is NOT a communist nation. 70% of their economy is private, capitalist enterprise. Their massive work force and horrific human rights practices allows them to produce truckloads of cheap goods.
That's the real irony. They claim to support socialist or Maoist ideals, but exploit their own workforce with Victorian zeal.
Camonk It's more practical than ironic: people respond to the ideology and the state-sanctioned history of Maoism, and they also respond to the lots of money of capitalism. And there you go, a lot fewer problems with people whining.
halon China provide America with pleasant deal on disproportionate fam hand!
Walt Henderson Laugh it up China, but tell me: who gets to suck it when our economy finishes collapsing and all our foreign owned debt is waste paper? You do!
kingarthur Wouldn't that resolve as being close to parity at that point?
