    Only China, eh?

    How about those in the USA - or is that acceptable to Americans whereas those in China are not?

    i think it's like comparing an apple to an orange, by my estimation, government oppression in china is far worse than in the usa

    but any oppression is unacceptable wherever it may be

    you should dig more research on the protest in china, mostly is about inflation, housing cost, wage increase etc. for example there were thousands truck drivers protest in shanhai few month mainly because the inflation, rasing gas price, and increase of toll booth cost for certain tonnage vehicle.

    Two things, 1) what is a liberal voice in China is probably a conservative voice in the U.S., and 2) there's been plenty of crackdown on liberal U.S. voices in the past two weeks right here.

    Actually they are eerily the same, only difference is Americans are not as keen to politics as the Chinese people and therefore we as a nation we Americans can't "see" when oppression is taking place via legislation, whereas in China, Teinemen Square happens when government gets too oppressive.

    America = Land of the couch potato

    The left needs to get organized and initiate armed resistance. But then, I don't have the best interests of the American left at heart.

    closer than you think. which is why we won't bomb them. they are interwoven with us.

    What you do not realise is that all the technology is now made in China. The research might be done in the USA, but everything is made in China. All the electronic parts used in stealth fighter jets are Chinese-made. Some of the custom-outsourced electronic components have failed because of the low quality, wasting money. The military contractors in the USA only assemble parts made in China. If there was a war, perhaps the American government would realise how reliant their defence forces are on Chinese factories.

    don't act dumb, you have SOMETHING made in China. maybe one of your guns or the bullet casings..I'm sure the bullet casings are since China has a lock on that industry, and maybe your guns too because there are only a couple true American gun manufacturers left...Colt, Ruger, S&W and Remington. the rest are most likely made in China or Russia.

    or maybe your wifes' good China in the China Cabinet?

    :omg:

    or maybe the fleece you wear while hunting?

    or the boots?

    oh yeah, you got something made in China. could be that Buck knife you own or that Nissan Tundra you may drive. not the truck itself(Japan) but some of the parts in it, China.

    i know i have things made in china, never said i was against things being made in china, i drink chinese tea because it's the best

    the point i was making is that the usa is vastly different than china on many levels

    AND the point I was making is we are not as different as you may think.

    hence all the "Made in China" references.

    and as I stated before, it's a reason we haven't bombed them. we are joined at the hip economically. not to mention they own 50% of American land, Mississippi included in that..lol


    and Ron Paul wants to tax them higher. and I'm all for it.

    i disagree

    we trade, we aren't joined at the hip


    show me your source for that

    according to the census, there's less than half a percent of asians in the county i live in and less than one percent in mississippi


    that goes against the concept of free-markets

    You think so? But even IF you are correct, (you aren't), how long before the USA and China are neck and neck? A year? Two years? After the passage of the Defense Authorization Act and SOPA, it's a matter of semantics and geography.

    yes, you're playing a semantics game, i don't have a crystal ball

    and china is vastly different than the u.s., for one thing, our cities aren't allowed to become so polluted and if there is a pollution event here, our government doesn't lie and say it's just fog
