China is communist.  There is no vote, there is no choice..

[Arlo]

There is a vote. Though no real choice. And there is capitalism. The most profitable limited to a favored few. As it is under many political flavors. But still, that doesn't warrant war.

Be well

I really hate to cause conflict in here and I know there are some who wish not to be told
who their enemies are BUT does any one have a problem with the Chinese manufacturing so much
of the U.S. necessary goods and components?
I may be paranoid AND forbid that I raise concerns about this but does any one know the U.S.
depends on China for the manufacturing of Meds, the screens used in our fighters, ships and cell phones, etc.?
Not just 2 weeks ago they threatened to cut off the Meds! What  is next?
I am not a war monger BUT I have been around long enough to recognize a war in the making whether sooner or later
As the now defunct SAC's motto says "Peace Through Strength"

 

Reducing costs by way of china and other manufacturing centers has been standard practice for over 30 years.  Americans never really put their wallets out to demand "buy America" either.  Popular regulations boost the issue to the point American manufacturing is suicide.

will be interesting to see if the current reality has any effect on the future. I really doubt it, it took a lot to battle trade deficit. Pop culture crapped on that.  and Pop culture is not putting their foot on the op issue.  Even if they did, would not economics win out, like it always does?

And voting has always guaranteed we got the best of the best too

I have a sudden craving for Chinese food.

Calm down, Ram. 

A lack of argument I see 

[fuzeman]

I thought Edd China was pretty good in Wheeler Dealers.

[Ramesis]

That's a stretch if I ever saw one.

Ok then Busher… Webster's definition of communism... A system of economics where the means of production (manufacturing) is owned by the government
and therefore , because production involves people, a communist government therefore owns the people they rule
 

[Ramesis]

Yet there are millionaires with individual monies.. sounds like capitalism to me...

Only with the consent of the communist government

Once this pandemic crisis calms down, you might want to visit. It was part of my job but I found the country to be like all the other countries of the world. Their cities are quite cosmopolitan; I saw no more wealth nor poverty than I have seen at home. Of course there is a class system... show me a country in the world where there isn't one. Please don't try to tell me that the laws of this land apply equally. It is obvious though that there always seems to be a hidden suggestion that the Chinese people are some form of sub-human.

Are u sure u did not see what they wanted u to see? I have a friend that has a whole different view than urs and had lived in China for approx. 10 yrs... he is so glad
to be back in the U.S

And we would let foreign visitors see everything? And I didn't say I would like to live there; I just said it was little different than being a visitor in any other world city.
