China says we're in the midst of an internet war - USA to blame

Chinese are such hypocrites. Chinese premier, in an interview to Fareed Zakaria, said that her citizens should be given more power to influence the government ... but that same interview was censored to the public in mainland.

Makes sense. When people have voting power, they vote for crazy shit like OSHA and minimum wage. Other countries having those = china is a better place to build a factory for cheap.

China has pretty much cornered several markets. You don't have a choice any more. i.e. rare earth metals.

At the present time, you are correct.

The business world is trying to find other alternatives such as Malaysia, Vietnam but it would take a while to build up the mines and factories and they are having problems.

Why bother with Cyberwar? deport all Chinese immigrants and their offspring, and nuke China the moment the last one of them arrives there.

Yeah...

Fuck China. When the hell is our government going to wake up and realize that doing business with this country is only weakening ours?

The USA should impose a 100% ban on imports from China...and stick to it.

I hate to break this to ya, the Chinese are the ones who buy up our T-bonds like mad when our government overspends the budget..

I already know this. They're the largest holder of US debt...so let's just default on it.




(what a shitstorm that would cause...and the ensuing depression would be worse than we've ever seen)


However, I'm not sure what that has to do with boycotting Chinese-made goods. Let them buy US debt...or not. We'd actually be far better off if they didn't buy our debt...and if we'd stop generating so much debt.

Actually, China is the largest FOREIGNER debt holder, Japan is second.

The largest overall debt holder is a whole group of US government entities, mutual funds, etc. -->> US domestic entities.

OK, sematics...but you're correct...and so am I.

Fighting the Chinese starts at home, just like the cartoon duck said, lol. Sadly, 99.9% of the products that AT reviews and we all love, are made in China or Taiwan. I seriously doubt we willl be able to keep up the "service based economy" that they sell you on in college. But that's just my opinion.

China <> Taiwan.

 

[grrl]

China <> Taiwan.

Exactly.

 

[BoomerD]

But Taiwan IS part of China...the Red Chinese tell us so all the time.

Ask the Taiwanese and you may still get the same answer, depending on who you ask :biggrin:

 

[allthatisman]

China <> Taiwan.

Really......? The products are not made here, that was the point...

 

[sdifox]

Again, Made in China <> Made in Taiwan. Last I checked the argument was about not sending cash to China because of whatever and not about Buy American.
