Many Americans, many freepers included, can't pay attention to the mega-beast of China because...

Nah, they just think they have a God-given right to buy $20 toasters at Wal-mart.

China is such a paradox.

I despise their commie government and EVERYTHING it stands for.
*However I am very glad that the same nasty government has a one-baby policy, however loosely they apply it. I shudder to think of unbridled births in China.
*Also, I can't gainsay their capitalism. EVERY Christmas ornament on the planet, I think, is made in China. Their stuff is dirt cheap, but it's nice. 10,000 tree lights for $2.99. Lol.
Even the ENORMOUS and plentiful Christmas store markets of Germany are stuffed with Chinese made Christmas decorations.
There was once a poll of the Chinese, asking them who Santa Claus was. They answered: a nice, generous old man who gives gifts. They do "get" it, it seems, though the "poll" MIGHT be total fabrication.

*I applaud their efforts at Christianity but shudder again at what it turns out to be....a cult Christianity--really, really off-base, with its government appointing its own Catholic bishops. Geez.
What on EARTH could have been God's plan in creating the Chinese?
