#11   Must be the only ones on our block to have Jewish COVID-19 Masks.

Darwin always wins. Should it come to that point, Besoeker, you and Mrs. Besoeker will be the ones who survive, not those wearing the cheap and useless Made In China ones.

#6  "No one forced us to buy Chinese garbage" Incorrect

The Politicians owned by the CCP forced our manufacturers out of business by excessive mandatory regulations while at the same time allowing Chinese products to pour in making competition by US manufacturers utterly impossible.

#5  Dron is exactly right.

No one forced us to buy Chinese garbage, or ship our manufacturing to China, look the other way while their military expanded, or give scarce university spots to millions of underachieving but full-pay wealthy Chinese brats, or countenance the creation of spy nests aka "Confucius Institutes" in our research university STEM departments.

We did all these things willingly. Because we are ruled by corrupt idiots.

The Chinese didn't use superior force to achieve this. Their civilization may be ancient but their current culture is a mixture of opportunism, theft, bullying, cheap imitation, mimicry and spectacular corruption. They're pushing on an open door.

#3  That they had and continue to pay so much for them, they were weren't 'free'. Cheap maybe, but not free.

#2  I don't know what Mr Kim has to say about it, but all that's enabling China is the tyranny of the minority in these countries; their unanswerability to their majority that allows them to sell their country piecemeal to others.

China doesn't have to do anything but buy the bureaucrats, flood markets with cheap shit for profiteers and infiltrate academics. The bureaucrats advise the political class, crippling policy. The academics create instability and productivity. And business groups help normalize the takeover of local economy. All China does is use the latent angst, imbecility, and greed present in any tyranny of the mediocre, to encroach into that nation's sovereignty.

These CPD people are just those who have been locked out of the influence matrix in America because sell-outs abound in the administration and the polity in general. The real problem is not China, or Russia... it never was. The real problem is the tyranny of the mediocre and no democracy to speak of.

But that's just my take.

#1  They're just jealous that China is offering a better deal than the ass rapists that run our banks. Those jackals know how to ruin a country with shock therapy and make a mint off it.
