2. Not as of yet

Lenin said "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.". In this instance we bought the rope from them and they will use the proceeds to hang us.

3. Yes, it used to be just crappy toys we got from China

Now, thanks to short-sighted deals with China, we get a crappy economy that affects our entire lives.

4. I'm actually concerned about the freedom starved disease.

Also, they have problems of their own. As their citizens become more prosperous they will demand more freedom.

5. They were far from free before China opened up to the west

The difference now is that they are not as poor. Not rich, yet not at the bottom in terms of per capita GDP like they were before.

6. I hate Chinese Fascists

8. I guess their government isn't any more friendly to protesters than ours is.

It's creepy how all of a sudden all the industrialized countries have started acting the same. It's like they've had a meeting or something. Really makes you wonder what they talk about during those G8 and G12 meetings.
