It's hard to compete with slavery.
Ironic, considering how China suckered Mexico into a loser trade deal only to betray them less than two years later. Give them credit for Rope-A-Dope, with Mexico depending on us (as always) to absorb the damage. Mexico's supplanted population here is helping to perpetuate China's system of Lowest Common Denominator profiteering. Pretty slick for a purported Communist government.
It wouldn't have survived past 1994 without the Clinton Administration's dedicated assistance. Now that the State and Commerce Departments serve China as a matter of policy we're screwed if we don't clean those Departments out and replace them with people beholden to America. Resistance will be high due to the upper class allowing these regimes to buy into them so badly. Tough. Let them take the beating for a change.
