Well, it is two big capitalist regimes facing off each other. In the past imperialists fought over colonies, raw materials, and markets. The key feature of the China-U.S. relation is the joint exploitation of Chinese workers by the Chinese regime (and semi-independent Chinese capitalists) and also by U.S. and other foreign corporations, which must go through the former for access. So far as I know, such involvement by two imperialists in feasting over the low-wage goose in one of them was non-existent or insignificant in the imperialist contradiction 70 to 110 years ago between Britain and Germany and between the U.S. and Japan. And U.S. workers are naturally bitter about the U.S. corporate rush to use low-wage Chinese labor. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
