China will eventually flirt with returning to Maoism.

He was never vilified like let's say Stalin. His enormous picture is displayed on Marxist holidays.

And there's a HUGE issue nobody wants to talk about: the gigantic health care costs coming within the next 15 to 20 years as China has to deal with many, many millions of people suffering from the effects of air and water pollution. We could see a massive increase in the rate of deaths from respiratory diseases given how bad the air in Chinese cities are now. And the death rate could result in a pretty steep drop in the Chinese population.

The Chinese sure could grow a lot of rice and soybeans in Africa. Then use the soy mostly for animal feed. Lots of gold to mine too. Just have to find it. Do a better job finding it than the Africans have.

Chinese are already there doing gold mining but on a small scale.

Forget those retarded Star Dreck reboots. The 5th Element needs a reboot with a larger role for Chris Tucker who is big star in Africa and China. He can bring them together better than Hillary.

Unbelievable.

Refresh my knowledge base. Where does it say in the constitution that the federal government can tax you for not buying a product that fits their specifications?

I guess the next step is to force everybody to buy an electric car next year, or face a $100,000 fine.

Just for your information, the "land of the free" is the only country in the world that forces its citizens to purchase a particular service or be fined.

I am in China right now. I have seen the really poor and the wealthy. I am amazed by the number of high end cars right next to the tuktuks. I am looking at a Mercedes Benz dealer across the street from our hotel. We have been treated like celebrities every where we go. Of course, with 4 blond kids and a grandpa that is 6’5” we stick out like a sore thumb!

China is imploding.

Their system doesn’t work.

It’s parasitical, not self-sustaining, and they’re too big.

They’re collapsing under their own weight.

What? I thought they were 'too big to fail.'

".....a Chinese coal company announced it would fires 100,000.....China aims to lay off 5-6 million state workers "

Looks like there is going to be run on rice and noodles.
(go long on the rice/noodle stocks, rofl)

"From what I gather the Chinese already have a huge foothold there."

Incredible search results.

“Y thought there was s shortage of farmers”

For decades China has resisted labor saving mechanical agricultural tools because there use would knock farmers out of employment. It is crucial to keep the millions of people grubbing in the soil so they aren’t planning insurrections.

However, I suspect they automated those collective farms and sent the people off to the cities to work in state industries. Now those industries are failing and the people will be unemployed in colossal numbers.

The budget for police, who have a baton and perhaps a few rifles and side arms, is nearly the same as the budget for the entire military, which has ships, planes and all the research and development that goes along with that. They are terrified of the people. Unemployed people are the most dangerous.

If you don’t have a refund coming for that tax year, then crumple up that IRS letter and throw it away.

The IRS does not have the power “... the text of the ACA is very clear in stating that taxpayers who don’t pay their ACA penalty are not subject to levies, liens, or criminal prosecution.

The only way that the IRS can collect the ACA penalty is if you pay it voluntarily, or if you’re owed a refund. In the latter case, the IRS deducts the penalty from your refund.”

Looks like the next step is to build up the Gook Navy and Army. Cold War II. Now that the west is almost de industrialized it won’t be much of a contest.

I watched it the other day. People need to see this movie. It does an outstanding job of explaining how the major banks ripped the American people off.

I don’t understand why there wasnt riots. Oh that’s right, “Blame the poor and immigrants “.

A word of caution, if you have high blood pressure, make sure you take you medication prior to viewing.

The Left has been desperately trying to create a neo-Nazi movement for years. They do this by trying to destroy Western civilization, and daring anyone to try to stop them. Civil war is not their greatest fear, but their secret wish.

Guaranteed they’re not sitting at home collecting 6 years of unemployment like in the US.

They just need to ban imports of coal. Funny how China is still held up by some of how the US should have its own managed industrial policy.

Remember when it was Japan who was going to decimate our economy?

Although there might be a flirtation, how you going to keep those young girls down on the farm after they’ve got Daisy Mae’s?

The young people have lived a life with I phones and stuff. They will not accept collectivism nor submit to totalitarian rule

What is described here is a result of over ehuberent effort to become Chicaps.
