One has to wonder why China spends fortunes slamming the lid down every time a story about Foxxcon or another magafactory dorm suffers a rash of suicides. Considering how strictly controlled their media is it sure seems to me lots of people are dying. And then there’s the stories of suicides coming from the garbge recycling towns where disease is making life so unendurable that people are killing themselves. And there’s the regular suicide stories from their financial sector. And their government sector...
The point is that it’s our money that funds it all. It’s our ‘opening’ (another word for legal funding of dictators) communist markets with NO control whatsoever over their communist governments. Our cash goes to communism, not to suffering people whose lives get more ‘suffering’ by the dollar.
I am all for opening those markets. Legitimately. AFTER they end their communist governments. Not before.
