No need to remind me. I visited there once back in 1981. I saw their commie state up close and personal. The Chinese are filthy (not personally); they were back then; and will probably the same 1000 years from now.
Being commie is bad enough but do they have to live in such filth? Well, cleanliness costs money and to tell you the truth their filth offends me more than their politics.
What does filth have to do with Communism? In fact, neither China nor Korea are Communist states any more. Maybe in the name only, but they definitily don’t follow the Marxist ideology of the past or of the present. (There is a great Youtube video by a North Korea researcher living in South Korea, who explains North Korea, its state, and tells that they are not Communist in any shape of form.) It is unfortunate and ignorant that on this forum ‘Communist’ is anything that the poster dislikes. Examples from above - the Pope is supposedly ‘pure Marxism’, according to a radio blabbermouth. Obama can be said to follow the Marxist ideology, as it exists now in the Western academia.
Not sure if I completely agree with that characterization, it could be you ended up in a dirty area.
On China’s behalf, I would say the country is very crowded, and very ancient. Thousands of years, of a huge number of people all packed together, look different than a relatively young country with a rich background.
What I am most concerned about is, that businesses in China don’t build or support America. All the businesses which go to China become minority players there.
Everything gets taken over, by China. All of it.
We need to bring back businesses, and compete from here.
IMO.
