I’m familiar with Lev’s article. But the report I referred to is at linked at post 5.

China is capitalist. It was before the “Miracle.” So was Stalinist Russia. Mercantilism is capitalism, too. Capitalism is the use of saved surplus of production over subsistence to improve or creat new production. That can be done via freemarkets or it can be done through directed command methods. The free market is the only efficient method of capitalism and other methods “succeed,” that is avoid famine insofar as they do manage to avoid famine, by trying to read and copy valuation from functioning free (or at least free-er) market systems. But it is all capitalism.

Thanks for pointing me to the right link. It’s interesting and expected that China will upgrade its military—standard operating procedure for a dictatorship/oligarchy.

My comments were not related to their military capability, but their social instability. How are these two related?

With the dangerous products pouring out of China I do not buy into this bull. Moms want safe food for their families and their pets — and SAFE toys without lead for their children. WE the little people DO NOT trust them!

Little pieces of rope, mounted on a little glass enclosed plaque, and with a gold engraved tag that quotes the prediction about Capitalists and their ropes which they will sell--should be mailed to each of the Members of the Board of these esteemed companies. It might look good in their CEOs' offices, next to those framed photos of them eating scrumptious Peking Duck in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing..

PS, DUNCAN HUNTER FOR PRESIDENT BUMP!!

Really nothing new about it. We talk about Loral and their assistance to Red China's missile program, but looking backward?

Donald Douglas, dba: Douglas Aircraft Company sold and licensed copies of the DC 3 (two engine) and DC 4 (four engine) to the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy, even after they attacked and murdered those sailors aboard the USS Pangay(sp) in China.

Nearly all Japanese fighters and bombers used licensed built copies of the Hamilton Standard propellers prior to and during WW2.

Keep in mind, just because someone says they're a capitalist, they may not have the best intentions towards this country.

Brings to mind the quote, "The merchant cares not from where he draws....".

A novel idea. But the noose is now considered a hate crime.

Well. The information concerning organ harvesting should be confirmed by our intelligence services and we should then put a ban on all China trade, while blasting out this atrocity to the international news media.

I would not be averse to blocking the Chinese coast—although I don’t think we have the navy to do that now.

But I think our attack subs could do a pretty good job of that. Speed+power Or we could simply mine every Chinese harbor and sink all the mining boats.

That would get their attention.

Our economy would go into a recession/depression—but we could survive that. We can’t survive tolerating this atrocity.

[Calpernia]

I agree

Great thread bump.

Big Business in bed with the world people's party....

Politics in the US just ain't what it used to be.

China’s Superpower Economy

Rockefeller declared, “The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao’s leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.” Mass murderer Mao’s “social experiment” had by that time taken the lives of up to 64 million Chinese.

I find calling Mao's "social experiment" important and successful almost as disgusting and outrageous as Mao's absolute depravity.
