Never said we didn’t have inequities here. I’ve worked with the Peace Corps and Teach for America so I know. Also, when I’m backpacking in South America, I’m not staying in “gated communities”. As for Enron, that’s why Sarbanes Oxley was passed, right?
Totally disingenous to compare the SEC and our policies to what’s going on in China.
As for Pro China man.
What gives China the right to prevent the Taiwanese from self-determination? What makes you think Taiwan should be part of China if most of Taiwan doesn’t want to be? Taiwan has been a struggling democracy for 40 years and developed its industry separately from the communist government.
There’s a big gap between the Taiwanese in the US and the Chinese in the US. Most of the Taiwanese here are US citizens first. A lot of the Chinese here root for China over the US. I’m won’t even go into the psychology behind it.
Also, I never said China couldn’t or shouldn’t develop its military. It is its own sovereign state. My statement is the Chinese military, esp. its navy, is being developed solely to oppose US military influence. That’s fine if you’re a Chinese citizen. If you’re a US citizen, you should be concerned. And if you root for China in a military buildup over the US, give up your citizenship here and go back.
Nice avoidance of the piracy and environmental issues. If your relatives are doing well in China, you know there are some very greased palms there, but feel free to ignore it as a homer.
