What do you suppose was the monthly salary of the Chinese folks who made these computer monitors we're looking at?

What do you suppose was the monthly salary of the Chinese folks who made these computer monitors we're looking at?

If you have a made-in-China computer monitor, it was probably manufactured in Guangdong, the southern Chinese province closest to Hong Kong. According to this publication of the Hong Kong government, the average industrial wage in Guangdong is 11,317 renminbi a month, which works out to US$1,368. I know many people who have immigrated from and worked in southern China, and the figure seems to be fairly accurate. I make no apologies for the Chinese government - it's a corrupt despotism inimical to our civilization. I simply note that many of its people are much better off than most Cubans.

Are you Canadian?
If so, perhaps you should know that I think of Canada as only slightly less offensive than France.
And I find France extremely offensive.On par with the Axis of Evil, and equal to Saudi Arabia.
Do you not find it at all odd, that the USA was not named as a trading partner?
I have seen varying numbers, but it seems a safe bet that Canada exports figures are between 80-93% too...the USA.
I want to bomb France.
For Canada, I only want the borders sealed.That would be enough to destroy that country.
What part of "with US or with the terrorists" is unclear to you?
