Damn straight. Bump.

In the end though, if they are honest and transparent concerning China operations, they will uncover that a lot of business is done out of political motivations. Also, a lot of companies don't even want to be in China.

Of course there is the old addage that when goods don't cross borders, armies will.

I would hope for the China apologist crowd to be knocked off their high horses. To an extent thats happened.

After thats been done we can see the CCP for what it is and play hardball with them, and realize things aren't all peechy keen with them. China isn't better than anyone. They are not "the wave of the future"...

It is rare for an ancient civilization to recover its past glories. Once they peak and burn out, they stay gone. Not that they don't try from time to time to bring it back and realize their destiny. Mussolini tried to bring back Rome. Saddam is trying to being back Babylon. Arabia is trying to bring back Damascus. We won't wish China luck in bringing back the Middle Kingdom; nobody wants it.
