I had a discussion with a person and they talked as if everything that happens with China is a conspiracy of the communist government. An example would be the dry wall that came from China. In that, I'd say that it probably was a corrupt business that was cutting corners in China to sell their products cheap. Then it would be the responsibility of the house builders, who try to build houses cheap, but charge people a lot of money. I have read stories where the government of China is concerned with the Made in China label being tarnished with shoddy products. Not only that, but their industries cheat their own people. They had a powdered milk scandal where companies were putting chemicals in the powder to look more nutritious.
Getting back to the comments. It's almost as if the older generation sat in classes being bombarded with propaganda that anything that comes from China or Russia should be viewed with suspicion. Not only that, but even the people should be looked at as if they were spies. I just don't get it. It really makes it hard to talk about your children or where they came from when you have to deal with backwards thinking that came from a bygone era. Not only that, I get tired of politicians saying that China cheats all the time. A lot of what they say, this country does also. As for companies being lured by China, it's not their fault. China is providing workers and an atmosphere that appeals to companies. Not only that, but our states do it to each other. Just the other day, our governor announced that a company would be shutting down a business in Kentucky to move to Florida. Why? Is it China's fault?
