Comment Re:Power hungry money grubbing grab-asses (Score 1) 128

The fact that this comment is moderated insightful is quite indicative of the ridiculous anti-China bias present in all Western countries and promulgated by all Western media. Perhaps it's because we are out-competing you in the global economy, perhaps it is some fear of "communism", perhaps it is straight up racism.

It's really easy to seem insightful when in reality you're spewing garbage if you're surrounded by people who agree with you.

I can tell you with certainty after living in both China and the USA that the denizens of neither country care about China's "human rights". "Human rights" is simply a sort of straw man for the Americans to beat on, the real objection the Americans have is that they don't like the trade deficit and would rather see China impoverished, Chinese competitors erased, and manufacturing and tech jobs back in America. People in China don't care about freedoms if the government can guarantee their economic well being, on which progress isn't uniform but is there. Real complaints about the government from within China always result when someone is getting cheated out of money or property, perhaps due to government red tape or corruption.

Right, so because you're a well off WASP, you can stand in your Ivory Tower and be your sanctimonious self pretending like you somehow have some higher moral ground, while your compatriots discriminate against Asians, stunting their career advancement, paying them less than whites, laying them off first in an economic crisis, etc, and now you're surprised when our home countries welcome us back with open arms and give us great well-paying job opportunities as well, and so we decide to leave?

I'll bet you the panhandler on the street and the guy that just got laid off couldn't care less about human rights and personal liberty. If China offered them a permanent well paying job and an apartment, they'll go. Of course there is no incentive for us to pay random bums, we're past the era of doing completely unproductive things just to score political points.

Comment This thread is all American imperialist propaganda (Score 1, Flamebait) 456

News flash, the Chinese government serves the interests of the Chinese people, not yours. The governments of other countries around the world exist to serve and protect their own people, not to serve and protect American interests. It seems that most American have forgotten that and expect every government to be an American shill. We refuse to be your shill.

Speaking of capitalism and free trade, you're all for it when you are crushing nascent industries in underdeveloped regions like Africa to ensure that your industries will have free reign to sell stuff there, but when a country like us can actually compete with you, or possibly even out-compete you, you cry foul and demand protectionism. Free trade is only good when America gets the advantage, it seems.

Speaking of corrupt and autocratic governments, your government is nowhere near clean of corruption, and you have never shown any compunction to support autocratic and corrupt governments when they serve your interests; I don't think I need to bring up all the Cold War examples but if you want an example of today, look no further than the PLO Palestinian authority government and Karzai's Afghan government.

American imperialism and hypocrisy is on full display in this thread.
