We still embargo Cuba while we buy billions of dollars worth of goods from China so that corporations can make profits and outsource jobs at slave labor wages. Corporate personhood is going to destroy America. It is the root of the rot.

Get your genuine,hand painted by a 12 year old sweatshop worker,imported Tiananmen Square commemorative plate at your friendly greatwallmart! See the valiant Chinese tank defend itself from the terrible protester!

PS Don't eat off it, there's more lead in the paint than in a bucket of buckshot. But it is cheap and not made by nasty American union members!

Treasure your civil liberties... the ones that truly matter... while they last.

Strewth.

Also true unless enuff people wake the fuck up.

Good article, ZH!

The Tiananmen Square massacre was a protest by the people of China not only for increased "Democracy" in the form of civil liberties but also against the new autocracy, the newly monied elite who increasingly steeer Chinese Mnoetary Policy who were becoming wildly rich while standards of living were actually diving for many people.

The Western world largely reacted with limited shock to the massacre at the time with a lot of public hand wringing while business continued under the table until the messy issue disappeared from the front pages.

If you went into a Chinese internet cafe and you type in the words "Tiananmen Square Massacre" you not only won't find wot yer looking for but very shortly some scary looking dudes will come looking fer you.

A brief tussle will prolly ensue during which people will pretend not to observe a damn thing and BOOM suddenly yer one of the "disappeared".

First liberties disappear.

Then people.

People should know this by now.

Be Well.

But it is cheap and not made by nasty American union members!

Now Northgirl hates unions! What an unAmerican POS.

Now Cookdbrains can't tell obvious sarcasm! What an uneducated POS.

Back on topic:
Isn't it ironic that one area of China can protestone of a very few very economically and financially important areas-while the rest of the mainland has to constantly look over their shoulder if they even dare send a critical e-mail. And our government says nary a peep. That's what happens when you're deeply in debt to an authoritarian country.

And our government says nary a peep. That's what happens when you're deeply in debt to an authoritarian country.

That's what happens when you've got a gutless, inexperienced POS like Barry and his lapdog, Little Timmy. They don't say a peep because they have no idea what to do about it. Keep bowing, Barry, and make sure Timmy bows to the slanty-eyed devils. That's what happens when you have no clue on how to govern.

Nice to see that Kookfish finally understands that opposing unions is unAmerican.

Be Well.

Now Cookdbrains can't tell obvious sarcasm! What an uneducated POS.

That was a given.

Because unions run companies (like GM) into the ground?

Because unions run companies (like GM) into the ground?

yeah bad foreign purchases like Opel and bad management had NOTHING to do with it. I'm guessing all that downsizing and reduction of employees and foreign source product wouldn't have helped their bottom line, either.

Oh yeah, Dean, Ford has the UAW same as GM, your point?
Not to mention every foreign manufacturer, except the righties' cherished chi-coms, have unionized workforces. Again, your point?

Yeah, unions opposed national health care ALL THESE FUCKING YEARS and are responsible for the ridiculous obligations of GM.

Send in the tanks! Run them over! Death to the domestic opposition!

Hong Kong should be aware that the dictatorship of China will not hesitate to crack down on them just like the rest of China.

In HK, thousands demonstrate. In the US, libbies pretend to be outraged over Bush's Iraq War, and can't get more than a few dozen to hold signs.

Southeast Asia, in all respects, is becoming a more interesting place. I invested some money into a Chinese real estate development company yesterday. Reading over the rights offering, I noticed that the CEO of the firm makes $45,000; the CFO, $33,000. And that their revenues for 2009 is forecast at $600 million.

Capital is attracted to places it's treated best. That would be news to people bailing out GM and Citibank with borrowed money.

But we DID manage to get almost 70,000,000 people to boot his party rather unceremoniously out of power.
