Thread Name: BS: The Great (Dry) Wall of China
Subject: RE: BS: The Great (Dry) Wall of China
The story of the world economy is the story of access to cheap labor. The American people have voted with their cash for years to purchase items that are a dollar cheaper here, a quarter cheaper there, and the Chinese have been a source of 'adequate' goods at cheaper prices for decades now. For every drywall story there are a hundred Walmarts which are full of tens of thousands of garments, household goods, textiles, furnishings, etc. etc. from China.
The Chinese have the same manufacturers of ethical malleability as do we. Don't forget the Peanut Corporation of America which has some blood on its hands right now.
