China: The Tyranny Maintained By American Multi-National Corporations and Government Alan Scholl The Wall Street Journal, in an uncharacteristic editorial for that globalist-oriented newspaper, added the following surprising observation about China: But after spending all of 2005 and some of 2006 traveling through China — visiting not just her teeming cities but her innermost recesses, where few Westerners go, and speaking with scores of dissidents, Communist Party officials, and everyday people — my belief that the 21st century will not belong to the Chinese has only been reinforced. True, 200 million of China's subjects, fortunate to work for an expanding global market, are increasingly enjoying a middle-class standard of living. The remaining one billion, however, are among the poorest and most exploited people in the world, lacking even minimal rights and public services. The Party, while no longer totalitarian, is still cruel and oppressive. American business becomes more "Chinafied" each day. Wal-Mart, or"Great Wall of China-Mart" as some friends joke, is stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey with Chinese goods. These goods are cheaper, of course, than American-made goods, and a "bargain" for American shoppers. But there is a dark side to the bargains. Why are they cheaper? American companies "outsource" and contract with the Chinese for goods, labor, services. Patents and plans, from research and development money spent by American investors, are handed over to a regime that even lies consistently to its own people. Many stories exist of exact duplicates surfacing worldwide, under Chinese labels. Supposed American capitalists profit by the cheap virtual slave-labor of the Chinese people in the short term. But Americans never recover that investment in products and manufacturing systems. Just ask Microsoft. Though they reportedly spent millions of dollars marketing the company's new Windows Vista operating system, they've managed to sell a meager 244 copies in China. It's not that Microsoft's products aren't wanted in China, it's that people don't want to pay for them. So, the average bootlegged copy sells on the streets for a mere dollar. Does anybody wonder why Bill Gates decided to retire from Microsoft? Globalization isn't very fun when stacked up against reality. The Chinese continue to engage in rhetoric about the "eventual conflict with America" and their confidence in victory grows. Communist leaders in the old Soviet Union, another resurgent tyranny, once spoke of "Stupid Americans who will sell us the rope to hang them." These days we're not only selling the rope, we're aiding the tyrants in maintaining their stranglehold on their people. Sharing the profits with them allows them to purchase that rope with our money. The Wall Street Journal commentary exposes the lie of reform, and the cooperation of American leaders in the deception. The important question is: Will the American people awaken before the noose tightens and stop helping tyrants, or will America itself become another tyrannical oligarchy of wealthy multinational corporate bosses with a third world population of only the poor and the powerful? ---------------------------------------------------
