Make Love Not War!

Published: Monday, September 14, 2009

What have our world become when chicken meat and automobile parts can cause an economic war? I wouldn’t know what I’m talking about if I didn’t understand a thing or two about nationalism and economics. Apparently, according to the NYTimes, China is retaliating against Mr. Obama’s promised to unions about protecting American jobs by rising the tariff on tire import from China by increasing the tariff on American chicken meat and automobile parts. A few things comes to my mind: 1. Why is China importing chicken meat and automobile parts and 2. Why are Chinese people so proud?

For the first question, why is China importing chicken meat and automobile parts from the United States need to be broken down into two parts. Chicken from America, other than being produced in huge quantity, should not have a competitive advantage in China. Don't you think that it cost more money to raise chicken in United States than China? Plus the cost of shipping, that’s a great recipe for expensive chicken for Chinese consumers, and did I mention that the Chinese made roughly 1/6 of what average american house hold makes? I wonder how they crunch the numbers to make a profit. By the way, isn’t China known for having an uptight government that knows and control EVERYTHING? Don’t they know about the Monsanto scandal (growth hormone for those of you that don’t know about it) from American food? Why would they want to poison their own people? I have the right to say this my people had a history of fighting wars against big bad foreigners who seek to poison our people just to have a balance of trade (we lost both wars btw).

Now, the second part of the first question. Why import automobile parts? I mean, I love American Mustang, Corvette and all that, but let’s face it, American cars has lost their charm. Don’t you recall a few months ago how GM and other American car makers have to beg congress to give them money to keep themselves running. American car industry used to be great, but that was back in the days of Henry Ford discriminating against Jews. Also, Chinese are known for stealing “intellectual properties”, which we can't really blame them because we stole their recipe for gun powder and used it to make weapon of massive oppression. So if an American car goes to China, shouldn’t it be broken down and duplicated by millions if not Brazilians immediately? Bottom line, China shouldn’t import automobile parts from America. They make their own steel, their own technology, their own people and their own trade surplus. What is there to import from American car makers anyways? Epic fail?

For the second question, why are Chinese people so proud. White Americans has put down their pride and move passed the stage where they discriminate against Native Americans, blacks and various groups. Need proof? Check out our black president. China had 5,000 years of history, and we got them beat in a little over 200 years, why so proud? Also, don’t Chinese people study world history? Remember the cause of World War I? MAIN, Nationalism being one of them? Chinese people make love not war, and I believe that the population of China can serve as a testament to that. Sometimes i hear Chinese people saying that the US owe them lots of money, but so what? After all, we owe them because we live an extravengant life style instead of working at some sweatshop 24/7. To me, that sounds like a lot of Chinese bloggers are idiots. If you truly understands China, you would know that China stores its foreign reserve in the U.S. dollar. Dumping the US treasury bonds will decrease the value of the dollar. All the sudden their hard earn money accumulated from generation to generation becomes worthless. If they want to hurt our economy by burning their own money, by all means, go ahead.

Here's my advice to Chinese people: don’t be so proud, be more open minded and be self-sufficient. By the way, since you hate us so much, why not switch to Euro as your foreign reserve jack ass.
