So what? We should start reopening some of our own mines in the US. For now we should continue buying them from the Chinese. The great thing about this economic relationship is that we get the minerals and China has to deal with the pollution.

Oh here we go again with the "5000 years of culture"

You must be one of those laowei who thinks China is so "exotic" and mystical". Hey buddy I have a newwsflash for you: China is just another regular country with nothing exceptional. Almost all countries around the world has thousands of years of history too. Just pick any European or Arabic country.

The reason why the CCCP is cracking down on pornography is because they don't like it and they can. The Communist Party is an authoritarian government and they will ban anything they don't like. It is not because they think porn demeans woman (I'm not saying it doesn't though). By the way, there is nothing specifically in Chinese culture that looks down on porn. That is why China is one of the biggest consumers of Japanese hentai and pornography. I think the CCCP is banning porn because they think it leads to Western "decadence". This is more like what Islamic countries might do.

I don't understand how so many foreigners in China develop this China fetish that seem to cloud there ability to think and judge rationally. Luckily I was never affected by this in my time there which I have termed the China fetish syndrome. If you hear anybody say the West is wrong about China because they have "5000 years of civilization", you know this person has the China Fetish Syndrome.

Before you mod me to hell, think about when you purchase your Walmart crap that is produced by children that don't make enough to feed themselves.

Look, I am not disagreeing with you that China relies a lot on cheap labor for their manufacturing industry. However,you need to quit with the hyperbole and actually research the situation in China. The country has been self-sufficient in food for awhile now so while alot of people are still poor no children are dying of hunger. Food is extremely cheap in China and almost anyone can afford it. Also, manufacturing wages in the coastal provinces have been rising in the past decade. A lot of companies are now moving inland where wages are still low but this will change as well in the future. China will not be relying on cheap labor forever.
