| Conservative Behind Enemy Lines  |
I am bewildered with your post. I have never seen anything like this on THIS forum. I am so taken aback to see such a thing here. Of all the enemies the American citizen faces, the Democrat Party is the very worst. | |||

On your next visit, pack a couple of bibles and some books on the Tiananmen Square massacre. Then you will know what "miserable" feels like. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

Yeah, all those happy Chinese leaving their farmland to work at Foxconn to make $200 a month and live in a 100 sq ft room. I'd love to hear of an example of a US company needing to install suicide nets to stop their employees from jumping to their deaths!!! It's amazing how a spit-shine seems to make everyone forget reality. | |||

Amazing what camera technology we have nowadays.
Don't get me started on how the Liberals in higher education are educating the Chicoms here and earning big $ to do so.
Paid for by our technology being ripped off and by dumbass, short-sighted politicians in the West.
Were still real??? China has more people that are starving, more political prisoners and more firing squads than any nation on Earth.
No, they duplicated it without license.
Please holster your holier and wiser than thou speech. I've been to China twice on business, the most recent six years ago. I was also in the UK, France, Switzerland, Austria and Poland in the last two months... I heard one complaint about the U.S. and many Trump well wishes on my last visit. Maybe the difference is because you give off a vibe that liberals like to open up to you. Regardless don't paint the European Continent with too wide a brush, as there are plenty of decent folk who still enjoy freedoms there that Mrs. Lee could only dream of. | |||

I haven't defended the CCP in any way, shape or form. WTF? We have cameras everywhere in the US and Europe too. They may not all be under gov't. control or there for the same reasons, but we all know gov't. can get that footage anytime they want. I'm not liberal in any way. But I have been going to Europe about once a year for 30 years to visit friends and sightsee. I've been there on business twice. In the last two weeks there I ate one dinner alone. I was with friends all the time, and many of them know I'm a righty, own guns, and so ask about things in the US they suspect their own media doesn't report too well on. And WTF does the suicide rate with Foxconn employees have to do with anything? How do you even think that stuff up? Are you expecting me to explain, defend or take responsibility for it? | |||

Maybe you should save your WTFs and just re-read what you wrote.... Better life? I didn't dream Foxconn up...it's a fact! I guess you probably missed the news on Nike and other manufacturers using child labor, indentured labor and unfair trade practices for decades. Currency manipulation. Lack of environmental compliance. Just a couple of things anyone with a keyboard could see. I have no problem with you visiting China but don't sugarcoat it like the everyday people have some grand-ass life. | |||

I don't how I sugarcoated it. I was visiting China before there was a Foxconn factory, as in even fewer jobs and lower pay for those kids who moved to the city from the countryside. None of them do that because they aspire to live in a dorm and make $100-200/mo. But it is a better life than where they came from, or else they wouldn't do it. They have a labor supply we cannot fathom, and that makes wages low. Boycotting products made in China is not going to improve the life of one of those workers. Ditto for enticing those companies to move their factories to the US. I'd always rather help our workers and economy than theirs, but I don't have a choice (yet) of buying some products I need for my work or way of life from whichever country of origin I want. I've never heard anyone say China had clean air or good environmental stewardship. But if I based my travel destinations solely on the politics of every country, I'd not be able to leave the house. | |||

I believe you and I are in agreement, Skins. My post was actually a left-handed response to Balze Halze's post very early in this thread, in that he was in disbelief President Trump would tweet a congratulations to President Xi. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

You remember when we "accidentally" bombed the Chinese embassy in Sarajevo about 20+ years ago? And right before that an F-117 had gone down over Bosnia-Herzogovina? My Chinese ex-GF told me it was never an accident that we bombed their embassy. We did it late at night, when it'd likely be empty or near empty, in order to destroy whatever pieces of that F-117 wreckage their agents had been able to spirit away from the crash site. She said everyone in China thought that. Dunno if that's true, but I thought it was interesting. | |||

Nah, it lies in Taiwan. They just couldn't pack everything up and take it with them as they were being chased out. Rick Lee, any chance you're related to Alejandro Cao de Benos? -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

Damn. Attaboy. Keep digging Rick, and you'll eventually be back in China before you know it. | |||

Wait, what? |
I truly believe that China’s expansionist policies will eventually result in the next major world conflict. They are ruled by an evil class of leaders bent on world domination and think in terms of a thousand years in the future, instead of a single generation. The Chinese government is complicit in manufacturing and exporting a myriad of illicit poisonous drugs to the US and other countries. Anyone that thinks you can engage in this behavior without the full knowledge and consent of the people in power is either lying to themselves or truly ignorant in the extreme. I can only hope that all of the tech they’ve STOLEN over the years fails to do more than look up to the task. There is a lot more to stealth than just looking stealthy. I also believe we have weapons systems on the back burners that we won’t roll out until the threat is great enough. I hope we never find out but they are not to be trusted in any capacity. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

That tweet was a tact acknowledgement that the PRC is a total player on the world stage, and needs to be taken as a peer and not a regional power. Also, remember that politics creates strange bed fellows. You need to keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||

I guess the President can say what he wants to. But he should not have given China any credence. I've never been to China, but their culture based on animal cruelty parallels their modern human rights suppresion, There are many more than you would imagine in China wanting to change these practices. 美しい犬 | |||
