(317 posts)China deserves criticism AND we do need the US to seek alternatives because they openly steal our technology, make crap products with toxicity (very little regs), have massive human rights violations, polluted the oceans with plastic waste, toxic air pollution, and allowed American business to undercut even the thought of manufacturing here because of very unfair use of government funded industries (remember the GOP bellyaching over Obamas funding of Solyndra solar panels that the Chinese cheap panels took out?). And they lie at every turn, fly spy balloons, buy our property and farms, send women here to have US babies (there are maternity homes set up for this and they go back when the baby is born), The list is long, yet Sachs looks the other way and says we are just jelly of their success.
I hate these myopic Chicago school minded economists that are so eager to look the other way over these very real harmful historical facts. China is an abusive friend to Big Business, and it is not in our best interests to sweep these concerns under the rug. Yet, the way Donvict operates has destroyed our standing in the world
So Sacha looks brilliant not like a Stockholm Synfrome Schill, yet he is.
Our strength WAS trust and reliability. That is now gone and Donvict has manger to make China now look like the reasonable regime. That is quite the accomplishment. China does have an advantage and that is they can make direct decisions and implement them immediately (turn on a dime) instead of having the stagnation of a messy, complex democratic process and the feet dragging of conservatives that are slow to recognize the need for change.
