Ping!
Geez. Rural people in China are poor and many. China will never become a dominant force with so many poor people.
Pat Buchanan should go run for office over there. He does well with the pitchforker crowd. And I think they already have the economic policies he advocates.
That my friend is so true. To presume that a nation with a repressive gov't, a command economy for 90% of it's people and a people mired in poverty will ultimately threaten the economic power of the US is preposterous. If anything I see a China collapsing on it's own contradiction.
Yeah, I am sure that Chinese showed only not-so-backward part of China when he went there. Many useful idiots get fooled. Unfortunately, they seem to be born to play this role on Earth.
Interesting how thier situation seems to parellel that of North Korea. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Perhaps not on the same scale as in North Korea, but there are similarities. Kinda answers the question why China is not putting more pressure on the North to return to the 6 party talks. Birds of a feather...
Hopefully the poor chinese who outnumber the ruling class by a factor of a few hundred will take a clue and overthrow those bastards.
What does the narration in that video say, roughly?
This is much more common there than we know. There's a reason for the CCP clampdown on info.
The write-up by the local news station regarding this is inane.
Do you just try to waste space and time with silly pointless drivel?
But, but, but... Communism -- good. Democracy -- bad.
At least, that's what our RAT/lib/socialist/Marxist/Leninist friends in congress want us to believe. Right, Hitlery, Durbin, Kennedy, Boxer, Kerry, Schumer, et al., ad nauseum????
Roughly, it says that Beijing News reported that thugs armed with sticks and guns attacked farmers who were having land dispute with a power company. Reportedly, the original video obtained by Washington Post contains the segments, in which thugs hit people with sticks and sounds of gunshot are heard.
<< Geez. Rural people in China are poor and many. >>
Many, indeed.
More than one billion living on less than Thirty US Dollars per month.
<< China will never become a dominant force with so many poor people. >>
True.
China will never become a dominant force.
Don't believe what everyone says. You DO have a sense of humor. You ARE a fun guy. Nevermind what everyone else says!
Yes. I do. Unlike, apparently, you :) :)
C'mon. It's funny! Rampaging farmers? I think PJB missed his calling. He should have been born in China, in the countryside.
