Japan did the same in the 60's and early 70's..
But then Japan respected human rights (Not whale rights) and became a respecable econnomy where people make good money when they work..
China is a different fish, all money they make goes to the state. And that money they loan to the US government to pay their wars with..
Uncle Sam is allready owned by China, people just don't know it, but most of the US state depth is to China.
So Mister Bush allready sold your country, and now you blame it all on Obama instead of on China.. I'd blame China, because they made that money by treating their own people and workers unfair...
Its really time to boycot China, untill they respect human rights and freedom of tought and speech. Its the only way to save our western civilization.
Laughable is all I can say.
Come one, you're talking about human rights while ignoring basic human rights at home. Talk to the Native Americans about human rights and you'll hear quite a different story.
Are you willing to compensate all those you've raped and murdered, or all the land you stole, usually by breaking treatments? Nope, don't think so. You even balk at returning looted artifacts to the country of origin. Yet here you are talking about human rights. The lame excuse that there was no central government or that you brought civilisation is so pathetic. Why not just accept that every country has its own civiliazation and that your concept of civilization isn't the standard everyone else has to follow.
And if China was owned by the US or The Netherlands no one would have a problem, right?
Bachus, did the Indonesians invite the Dutch to colonize their nation? Did the Zulu Nation in South Africa? Did the natives of Suriname, Dutch-Guyana, the Dutch-Antilles? How convenient history is. One can simply ignore it.
Why don't you just admit that you're scared of the rising economic power of China and other Asian nations? You did it your way, they do it their way. You just don't want them to succeed.
Whose human rights have you respected? Native Americans? African Americans? Hispanics? Asians? It even took you till 1920, when women finally won the vote throughout the nation. You still have a the gender pay gap, men are still preferred over women in the work force, etc. Not even your Constitution guarantees women the same rights as men. Once again, first take care of your own backyard.
The main thing is, as long as it benefits you, you don't give a rat's ass about anyone. Not now, not ever!
