The irony in this post and your original thread opener is astounding. This^^ coming from a conservative is laughable.

This is how China "works"



Literally.

No, the irony is you and the Left in general trying to find some way to defend China.

I'm sorry but governing 1.3 billion people via democracy poses challenges. I see what Immelt is saying.

I always thought it to be a double standard in the USA to detest Communism yet have no problem endorsing their Communist system by flocking to all the big box stores to buy all their Communist made products. Also Americas big business which i assume for the most part is mostly Republican having no qualms at all in relocating American manufacturing plants,factories and jobs to Communist China.

Once again with the games. Try and at least be a little specific, because my side is about ensuring our Constitutional rights and freedoms are protected, while your side wants to limit our rights and freedoms and have them dictated to us, just as they do in China. In China, the people do not have natural rights, they only have what the government will allow them to have.

China is not purely communist anymore. Capitalism has woven it's way into their system.
They now have millionaires and Shanghai has more millionaires than Los Angeles today.

Our government has decided to have free and open trade with China, and it has decimated our manufacturing, so all we have is cheap China goods now. I assume the hope is that as the Chinese people have their eyes opened to a better life, they might overthrow their government, or force it to change. But, by the time that happens, we will be the next Greece.

Does that mean that China might flip to fascism? We might be on our way to meet them there.
