I think those of us in the US can be prejudiced against China just
fine.
Places like Wal-mart (Target, etc.) and the loss of tons and tons of
American manufacturing/toy making/clothes making jobs.
Minor stuff, you know, like that.
Marnie :-) Not to mention they are a totalitarian government that
locks up political dissents (and censoring of the web for their
citizens, etc.). Frankly, I don't see much to recommend them.
you are, of course, welcome to your prejudices. though i would tend to
think that your government and your corporate culture are to be equally
blamed for your current economic mess. or are you looking for easy
scapegoats?
as for political systems, let the chinese take the call on that. not
everyone has to be or even wants to be like you (you as in 'political
you'), you know. it's an old, evolving culture and i am sure they can
work out for themselves all the contradictions and different pulls that
entails. or, do you want to send in the B-52s? :)
It's really hard to make the case that the Chinese people choose to let
the Communist Party run their county when the PLA runs protesters down
with tanks...
