Ahhhh! The inscrutable Chinese! A blanket at night... oatmeal in the morning!

Remember when Made in Japan meant junk? Then they were taking over the world

China produces their parts sold here to American specifiations - they make them to their customers spec, whether that's Auto Zone or Walmart. The same equipment that makes junk rotors can make good ones....

Why does the left think American poor are more worthy than Chinese poor? So much for the brotherhood of man and death of nationstates

I thought that globalism was a major bugaboo for the right.

Put another way - Who says that America's corporate masters are more worthy than china's ruling class?

It's one of those issues that blur far right and left I'm afraid.

But yes, all barbarian nations must bow before the Middle Kingdom
