Post by: Tre on June 02, 2009, 11:03:48 AM

I love Chinese food and a lot of Chinese people, but what the fuck is going on in this country?

China is going to own the US any year soon.  They come here in droves just filling up our neighborhoods, schools and quietly try to fit into society.
Local universities near me accept more students from china than in state because they are willing to pay full non-subsidized tuitions.
They are buying companies daily.  They are holding onto nearly 1 trillion in USA cash.  Not credit but pure cash.  For the last few decades china only sells goods to the US. They don't trade or barter but sell for cash only.  Worries in the US is that if China ever decided to unload the USA currency they own onto the open market that it would crash our dollar.

In my city new home sales are still booming and that's because chinese people are the only ones buying right now. 

Years ago my grandad said that the yellow skinned people will eventually own everything and take over the world.  Well they are starting that process.  The USA are a bunch of assholes willing to sell out to the highest dollar.  Giving Israel billions of free cash a year, selling out to China and being so obsessed with the damn military.

disgusting.

Yeah, man. We need highly intelligent people who intimidate their coworkers just by breathing and who buy shirts five sizes too small so that they rip apart when they carb load at the desk!

The right-wingers have a hundred million Americans so obsessed with our Latino immigrant workforce that the fools cannot even see the real threat to this country.

Oh, and the Clinton administration gave the Chinese some of our most advanced nuclear technology.

China will hold more and more power over the united states as our government keeps its big spending ways.  Bush was bad, Obama's spending is worse.  The Chinese have so much control over us because they are financing our deficit spending.

F the big government republicans and F the big spending, big program liberal democrats.  We must return to fiscal responsibility in this country.  Listen to guys like Ron Paul.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRC_HMMWVs


There are at least two Chinese automobile manufacturers building HMMWV copies, possibly, with the assistance of AM General. Both HMMWV copies rely heavily on imported U.S.-made parts including chassis, gear box, and diesel engine. It appears that at least one company, Dongfeng Motor Corporation (DFM), has the full consent and cooperation of AM General. Both manufacturers claimed that they will be able to gradually increase the percentage of indigenously made content on the vehicles in the future, since the PLA is unlikely willing to accept any equipment that relies largely on foreign made parts.

this pisses me off..our trading policies are suicidal and totally destroying this country.  up until 1980 we were a pretty closed, 'protectionist' country, look at how fast we've gone downhill since with this 'free trade' bullshit.

Virtually all modern day economists agree that protectionism is harmful in that its costs outweigh the benefits, and that it impedes economic growth.

Do you argue that NO amount of protectionism is a good thing?? 

After all, other nations are looking out for their own best interests.  Who's looking out for ours?

so why when the US got rid of its so called protectionism(we've had tariffs throughout out our entire history till a few decades ago) did our manufacturing disappear, economy and technological advantage go rapidly down hill? china practices strong protectionism and is prospering greatly, we get rid of protectionism and our economy turns into a debt ridden dumping ground for foreign made products, losing our technological secrets daily.  we are being raped, a reasonable degree of protectionism is absolutely necessary, period.

Of course nationalistic protectionism is necessary.  Britain does it, Japan, China...only the USA right now stands on the street corner grabbing their ankles.  At one time US corporations could be counted on to temper their activities with some consideration for the greater good for the country.  I have seen some posts from entrepreneurs saying that the greater good is not their responsibility.  What is the difference then between themselves and sociopaths?

well said, it is simply impossible to compete with slave wages.
no tariffs, not protecting our technological secrets(military and industrial)=economic suicide.  especially when you are dealing with predatory mercantilist trading 'partners'(enemies as far as I'm concerned) like china.

China or the Chinese having a growing dominance within the US is inevitable... all countries on the planet in fact.

During the last huge recession in the early 90's... it was the Chinese Hong kong ex pats who pulled us out of it.
Just look at their population. That and the fact that their baby boom started a few years after North America's. While we and our economies are declining, the Chinese population and economy are still on the rise.

Besides... it's Hummer.  Be grateful someone is willing to take that rolling POS off your hands.  ;D

On the bright side - Chinese immigrants don't generally rally against and blow up the residents of the country they move into.

More Chinese to the Middle East anyone ?

Despite what any of the xenophobes here may think of China taking Hummer of GM's hands it is for the best.

Hummer is a shit brand and way past its sell-by date. 

Re-skinned Chevy Tahoes (H2) and Chevy Colorados (H3) do not make a premium product. The Hummer line up is dog shit and old technology, ridiculously styled not to mention shit build quality.  The fact that ANYBODY was willing to buy this life-support brand is a godsend for GM.

General Motors needs to focus on building a Camry or Accord competitor and get away from oversized SUVs....the marketplace has changed and the Americans are lagging behind the rest of the world.
