remember Tiananmen

Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the massacre.

For 15years I tried to find stuff made in the USA, or at least, not made in China. It seems we may have lost the war. They own our debt, and they are our main manufacturing base. I have determined that I cannot change this by myself, and don't try too hard any more to find non chinese made items.

Let us not forget, however that China has not changed. The still attack, and fund others who attack our military, they still use prison labor. They still persecute Christians. They still export poisoned food and baby toys to the US on a regular basis. They still support N.K. They are still the biggest exporters of pirated music, games, and movies (leading to our own government taking draconian measures against its own citizens).

But it is the US government's policy - with support of virtually every congressional district in the US - to support and befriend the chinese government. Under these conditions, I can no longer afford to worry about the trade imbalance or any other hostile acts against the US. I will continue to speak up, and if the US someday wants to elect leaders who actually support their own citizens against the China threat, I will still be here.

Funny, I just finished reads and you tubes to remember the protests and deaths.

"They own our debt"

Lucky for us they have interest in helping preserve the dollar ;-(

"But it is the US government's policy - with support of virtually every congressional district in the US - to support and befriend the chinese government."

They are the next global super power and our greed and errors made that happen overnight and we can't do diddly about their national interest. Our only ace is in their holding our debt?

The helpless unarmed protesting Chinese student and young cannon fodder have more impact on China that the Wests feeble actions and condemnations.

I don't think that the theory of prosperity and weath drives a soceity to more rights and freeedoms really works when the ruling elites have no need to earn a living.
