A lot of good points and mostly correct. I'm sure there are a lot of politicians want to see China never get better than#2. That way the politician can act as if he is very responsible for keeping America great. Pun intended. This guy hasn't lived in the states for 14 years and some of his judgements are based on what his grandma says about how she feels.
I'm sure by now be probably reads a local news paper. After 14 years his Mandarin should be fluent. But it's a government run or heavily controlled. Aka propaganda. The american people have nothing against China or is population. We don't like one party government. We have enough trouble getting to vote in good help with multiple choices. But in my book a choice is just that a choice. Even if it's just picking the lesser of two evils.
With growing populations its bound to have many statistics that grow with it. If one in a hundred thousand is a serial killer that means 2 in 200k possibly. China is a very strict government, if you complain in public protest, your going to be led out in public, forced to your knees and shot in the head. Or maybe you'll get 30 years. We're ok enough to get out of our mess and when push comes to shove its the bullshit that stands aside. China won't collapse. Its kind of government might. And,hey Mr John Q Publix what are we talking about here, the price of eggs in China or the wear and tear on a chickens ass?
I appreciate what he trying to say. And agree with a lot of it. But where would I
rather live? I pick the US. Were and all. And no one should be allowed to force their ideals on another sane human. We have our share of zealots. Some pushing gun rights thinking Democrats want to take them;they don't, they want the nut cases sane enough. And other zealots that believe women don't have enough sense to be in charge of their own bodies or make decisions concerning their lives and that an Evangelist from Washington DC is more qualified about her situation. Know better.
That you, I need to vent. This is just my humble opinion that I am passionate about.
Peace be with you.
