Comment China is our friend! (Score -1) 146

Imagine the scenario, if you will, 30 years ago I go to the President and say that American companies are deliberately manufacturing high tech devices used for phones, computing, communications, military and satellites.

I would be thrown straight into the looney bin and charged with treason. Commies making our most valuable, necessary and trusted equipment? Never!

Fast forward 30 years. What could possibly go wrong?

They most certainly do have laws.

They protect the parties members, the corrupt elite and those Chinese who want to confiscate a foreigners businesses.

But, you will find them and the process opaque, haphazard, arbitrary and shockingly harsh... unless of course you are a senior party member, in which case none of this applies to you.

Comment Lèse majesté (Score 1) 3

Its an efficient way of removing a political enemy.

Been used for persecution of legitimate comment and criticism for millennia. If they don't like you, off to prison. Trump up a charge or 9. Silence dissent by throwing a few "insult" slanders at them, fit them up for thought crimes and events that don't happen.

Its the evils of an evil government, not the king.

I am not an American, but I will tell you it is no accident that Russia had 2 nuke subs parked off the coast this week.

The perception of everyone I speak to is that Romney is a crazy. His being elected would lead to a major war using false flag in a matter of months.

What amazes me is the perception of Romney voters, they simply cannot see it.
