China is a totalitarian country, still officially communist, a dictatorship under which people do not have rights which we take for granted. It’s not surprising that China wants to censor the internet.
So many ‘American’ companies have sold out lock, stock and barrel to China.
Everyone.
Look at the computer you are using right now. 90 percent of all computers, are made in China.
Look at everything you spend, all the time. In every Walmart in America. In every Target in America. In every K-mart in America. Most of the stuff for sale there, is made in China.
Look at your cell phone. Most of them, made in China.
Sporting goods. Made in China. Air conditioners. Made in China. Again there is a small amount made here. But less all the time.
We run a HUGE merchandize trade deficit with them. China does not import cars, it requires companies to set up factories there.
Almost everything now is imported. MUCH of it from China. Basically food is still grown in America, oil products are still produced here. And our national defense establishment is still here.
Otherwise every single administration for the entire last generation, has sold off ever more of what (used) to be made here in America.
Both parties.
Donald Trump is the first American president in the entire last generation, who has said America needs to make things right in America once again.
About darned time.
Until about 2005 China was becoming a freer place. Since Zhang zemin retired or has been getting slowly worse.
“It’s not surprising that China wants to censor the internet.”
By doing this, China is depriving itself of a fantastic set of tools that could greatly multiply their productivity and, thus, their GDP.
This is all because George H.W. Bush decided to cast America’s lot with globalist investors and not with the individual Chinese who were fighting for freedom in Tiananmen Square.
