The Chinese are sitting on $200 Billion of US dollars which are

automaker ROVER, then tried to get Unocal, and now are talking to
Marconi Communications, the Brit defense contractor.

See all those plastic doodads in your closets? See all those
Chinese-made clothes?
How about TVs and stereos? That's how they'll end up owning everything!


Problem is, everything is now made in China, so we really have no
alternative. Want a new TV? All of them are made in Shenzhen. Want a new
fridge? It's made in Qingdao. Clothes wear out? Your new ones are made
in a Chinese sweatshop. Who decided to place the world's manufacturing
capacity in a country that may become unstable in the future, that is
run by a tyrannical dictatorship that nearly was overthrown by a
religion? Not me. It was the big megacorporations that control
everything in our lives. THEY are authoritarian organizations run by men
who wield absolute power over their realms, who are more powerful than
the President and who treat their employees like plantation slaves. They
answer to nobody, and they only care about easy profits. They ruin the
economies of whole countries-including America-in pursuit of the
almighty dollar. They place the world's manufacturing capacity in a
single country, and the world's intellectual property in another single
country, because that's where the costs are cheapest. What happens if
the CCP collapses, setting off major shortages of nearly everything? Not
their problem; they've already gotten their money. When are we going to
hold the big corporations accountable for what they do? When are we
going to demand that they start placing people above greed? When are we
going to demand that they let go of the stranglehold they have on our
lives? I don't care if I sound like a commie. A few dozen big companies
hold the world hostage and create trade and economic imbalances that
threaten to bring capitalism to its knees, all for easy money. It
doesn't matter who we vote for, they're bought and paid for.
