why do people still think china is good

[D3ATH LORD]

yeah china is really a disgusting country. my brother was there for like 4.5 months. it executes twice as many people as  every other country in the world combined. also the slave labour factories are really horrible.

another fun fact about china is that the car will always have the right of way on a road, meaning if a light goes green and there is a pedestrian on the road, it is completely legal for you to run them over.

If China bans the slave labour, then who will take up the duty of providing the world with a cheap workforce? We should commend China for sacrificing their reputation, and the quality of life of their people, in order to provide the rest of the world with the ability to manufacture goods with incredible ease and cheapness. Without China's slave labour, I doubt that our economy would be as it is today.

The only sad thing about it is that everyone has taken this for granted, and every time a picture of a dirty, anorexic child comes up in the news every commoner wants to blatantly start a petition to ban slave labour. No one tries to look further than their emotions.

No one wants others to suffer, but naturally we don't want to suffer ourselves either. I don't believe that we will ever reach a point where everyone lives above the poverty line, at least not on this planet, or with this technology. Someone will always have to work to the bone so that the rest can have an education, food, and a roof over their head. Instead of abolishing it, we should just be grateful for not being in those factories, try to appreciate the hardship of those who are in one, and doing something useful and productive with the extensive resources that we're given.

What you say is correct, slave labor exists in china in the northern regions, but 7 years ago china recovered from a very long period of poverty, even today meat is cheaper than bones. From there china has created a great government system that allows people to benefit in many various ways. If you searched "chinese real estate" you would find very tall and luxurious buildings, these building were built for the sole purpose of housing the lowest earning citizens. These apartaments even include marble floors which is rather impressive. Really China is the best place to be, what you hear in the news is only the bad not the good. Living in China and employed is a win life is comfortable and very luxurious even if you have minimum pay.

Unless of course you don't ignore the giant loving firewall they have around their entire Internet. It's not like China suppresses protests and their internet or something.

chairman mao is great
everything is great
nothing is wrong
slave labor is great
the internet is free
communism is the best idea

[McZealot]

i disagree. there is a difference between a working force and slave conditions. they could easily improve the quality of the factories and pay the employees more and sacrifice very little. i understand that there need to be factory workers, but the conditions need to be acceptable.

I am actually planning to go backpacking through China in (hopefully) a few months, the place is great.
All hail chariman mao!

For nation that based it government around communist and socialism, they sure do a lot of capitalist and democratic things just like any other nation. Yet they failed in the part where socialism is based around the concept of freeing the people from the rich, yet they allowed for the rich to enslave the people to make bricks for them.

Just remember that nothing is perfect or flawless. Every system of government and economics is prone to exploitation and has its flaws.

Socialism enables the lazy to stay lazy.
Capitalism allows for powerful monopolies to exist.
Communism gives too much power to the government.
Fascism makes everyone hateful and ignorant.
Democracy allows for tons of grid lock and for cities to dominate politics.
Republics are prone to having politicians being bribed.
Autocracy allow for tyrants to rule.
A peaceful anarchist society will never work.

[Aide33]

I loving hate the chinks. I could care less about what they do inside their stuff country, but stay isolated you forgets. Trying to compete with the United States for top world power.

"yeah man forget the US they try to compete with the brits for world power and have black slaves"

what does slavery have to do with anything

China uses slave labor to manufacture goods for companies overseas. That's pretty much what this whole topic is about.
