That totally sucks. Nothing at all against the Chinese people meant but....fuck China. Their government means nothing but ill-will towards us and would **** every American citizen if it had the chance if we weren't the major market buying their cheap-ass shitty products and adding fuel to their fucked-up economy that is more than likely to overtake the US in the next decade or two. The only reason they have become such an economic ***** is due to the fact that they pay their damned-near slave labor workforce next to nothing wages to make their cheap and carcinogenic garbage.
Go to any trade show and you'll find many a contingent of brazen Chinese fucks who will steal product samples off your display so they can take them back to China and figure out a way to make them for a fraction of the cost. Unscrupulous cock-sucking ******-fuckers. Truman should have let MacArthur cross the Yalu and take them out back in the '50s when we had the chance.
Communist China is a bottom-feeding, parasitic nation and it makes me sick that we would honor their corrupt and oppressive government in such a fashion. Who is it that makes these fucked up decisions?

Normally now a days I don't bother much with the posts. POTW is on the fav threads of Usha and I got it in profile. Having a peek brought my attention to the above post, which was chosen as a Post of the week. I do accept the sentiment without accepting the content of the post.
Go through the followings, and then why not call a spade a spade? It is the US business community that is making China & India thrive. And for their own interst. Actually it is the earnings from the overseas investment, which keeps US Economy floating. Why single out China and not Japan and Korea?
Beyond Southeast Asia, the rise of two key countries is preoccupying the attention of the U.S. business community: China and India. Changes taking place in India will have a dramatic impact on the economies of the region and the world. No other country attracts
as much attention in the U.S. as China, both because of the potential it holds and the challenges it poses. China today is America’s second largest trading partner and the world’s third largest economy. The Chamber is working with others to press China to live up to the market access commitments it made when it joined the WTO and to step up
enforcement of intellectual property rights to put pirates and counterfeiters out of business.
