Re: It's all about the dollar!
The problem, quite simply, is that the US Capitalist ENABLE the chinese communist to oppress their own people. We don't really care WHAT kind of government we sell our stuff to, we don't care how badly it screws middle america by outsourcing our jobs. The only thing that this administration cares about is making the rich, even richer.
In 20 years, the AVERAGE CEO Salary has gone from 1.5 million, to over 18 million. In worker terms, it went from 25 workers to 478 workers. THAT is the fat cat's getting fatter, and the rest of us getting screwed.

First off, any US business in China has to obey Chinese law -- even the ones we disagree with; just as any Chinese business in the US has to obey our law. Neither would have it any other way.
Any place we outsource too many jobs to is going becomes less competitive for future outsourced jobs. That's what happened in Bangalore, India -- in just a few short years, their labor costs shot high enough to make jobs move back.
Meanwhile, we tend to add 1.5 million jobs per year, with the exception of 2002 and 2008. Over 5 years, the national average after-tax income grows 20%. So where do these fat-cats live? Sure, most are in the northeast, but the south and the plains gained quite well. Wyoming had the biggest increase -- nearly 40% in the past 5 years. Louisiana had 35% growth and Oaklahoma 30%.

I was going to post about your hogwash but then I noticed your username... HAHA yes, please tell me more about how the capitalistic society should work since your mentor was so well versed in it. Don't be so harsh on China - it's the last major nation that has any semblance of your mentor's principles. |

China has done things its own way for quite some time now, regardless of outside pressure. The only way China will ever change is if it comes from within.
If you want a comparison, go look at Cuba. We do almost no business with them, and they are a small scale version of China.
