We Have So Much To Be Thankful To China For

[PoliTalker]

This whole 'hate China' thing is a sadly recurring and wrongfully misplaced theme among conservative thinkers.

And to think that a lot of these China haters are also gun nuts raises an extreme hypocrisy.

We have to wonder if they even know who invented gunpowder.

If European invaders had not acquired gunpowder technology from China, their conquest of America would almost certainly have gone very differently. There might not even be a USA if it were not for that Chinese invention.

It is reminiscent of the absurd hatred of France to the point of trying to change French Fries into Freedom Fries, all the while forgetting that without France, the USA would never have gained independence.

The USA has benefited so very greatly from Chinese wisdom, tech and cheap manufacturing over the centuries...

And then there is our great economy. (at least up until a little while ago) The US economy would be NOTHING without China. Our economies are so interlinked and intertwined it would be devastating to both if we tried to separate them and go all isolationist.

We need to maintain a good relationship with China.

Denial by any franchised reality pretending now isn't eternity to manage outcomes for all incming replacements is still denying real regardless the so called greater good intentions promised better life for all paying to play by someone else's rules that collect a royalty from people reciting the mantra.

Corporate America is looking for 'better' Asian countries to disperse their Factories to. Indonesia, Viet Nam, India, Singapore.
Probably a better way to pit one poor country against the next poor country to get the best concessions.

Hello Jack,

That's what capitalism does.

It looks for an area ripe for exploitation, and then it exploits it.

And when the prime exploitation potential has been exhausted, capitalism moves on.

Hence, Detroit tax base depletion and financial troubles of maintaining an infrastructure built for a certain amount of manufacturing, and then seeing that manufacturing pull out.

Kind of a 'poop and leave it' approach.

Welch, when he was leading GE., said I wish I could put all our manufacturing plants on huge barges and tow them to wherever we can get the best deal. People do not understand , America and its people are not a consideration in large corporations.We are just a market.

China is terrible.

Muslims in camps.

Killing dissidents & harvesting the organs.

Occupation & oppression of Tibet.

Anti-Christian abuses.

Spying on citizens.

The South-Sea grab.

Lying about Covid-19.

Yes. It's surprising that some people don't understand 'Who Benefits' when the Capitalist comes to Town.

We have a MayDay to celebrate the 'Worker', why can't we have a Day for the Shareholders? You know, where we all Rejoice and Celebrate the Shareholding Class?

We had a lot to be thankful for because of Serbia, didn't stop us from bombing them.

Nikola Tesla & Pupin were wonderful productive Serbian Americans.

Is there a Corporate America left? Everything is Global economic trade agreements.

Good one!

Maybe investors and shareholders don't want any attention to their 'plight.'

Nailed it.

Their concerns are plain to see.

And they do not lie with the environment, workers or consumers.

Hello WitoldPilecki,

Tesla couldn't care less for capitalism or wealth. He was simply fascinated by invention. He brought his AC power idea to Edison, but Edison rejected it because he was already too busy making money with DC power to admit AC was the way to go.

Tesla then approached Westinghouse, who gladly financed the idea and made millions. And Westinghouse also sort of ripped off Tesla by backing out on their first deal, which would have made Tesla a billionaire. That's why Westinghouse is now a huge corporation, and Tesla is a company from which Tesla himself received no money at all, not a single dollar.

More exploitation, thanks to capitalism.

The USA is better for sharing the world with China than not.

Think about your siblings, if you have them.

Was it all peaches and buttercups?

If not, would you have preferred that they never existed?

DT had a brother who wasn't much good at business, didn't want to be ruthless nor treat people mean like his father taught him to. DT's brother just wanted to live and let live. He was under a lot of pressure to get that killer business instinct and take over the family business, but he never rose to the occasion. He wasn't really sure what he wanted to do with his life, but he knew he could not exploit others in the family tradition. He ended up drinking himself to death.

He was never the partner that DT wanted him to be.

But I bet if you ask him, DT would never say he wished he had no brother, nor would he downtalk him.

China is kind of like the 'different brother' to the USA. A very different personality, with different values and morals.

And the USA is better off for having China in the world than if there were no China.

To this day, DT is afraid of alcohol, afraid he can't handle it, afraid he will lose control.
