“It’s Communist China. How do they know the locals aren’t just starving?”
You might want to visit there and be surprised. This isn’t the China of 40 years ago, or even 20 years ago. They’re kicking our butts in GNP growth every year (which is as much our fault, as in unions and regulations), and either have or very soon pass us in total GNP. I keep reading that they’re going to collapse, now coming on 25 years of reading that...still not collapsing, nor showing any signs of it.
Actually...majority of the jobs shipped to Communist China from US were located in non-union right to work states in the South. Just about all the clothing and textile jobs shipped from US were in non Union South
I wouldn’t cheerlead the Communist Chinese so much...and bad mouth Americans at the same time
