Those Three Little Words That I Hate to Say: Made in China Printable Version

by Aaron Kendall

Little girls and boys wearing uniforms, walking around in unison, roasting wieners over a fire, waving flags...it sounds just like a Boy Scout troop and/or a Brownie troop. Right? Well, take another look and think again...if you take a look at the flag that they're waving, it's not the red, white, and blue. Oh, no...it's a Chinese flag of The People's Republic of China. And those ain't no wieners being roasted over a fire...it's a bunch of capitalist "pig-dogs", stuffed for dinner and ready to be served with pork-fried rice.

That's right, kiddies...it's the merry Young Pioneers, China's young institution which seeks to further the cause of Communism. With merit badges like the Bullet Badge (where you learn to hand-craft the bullets that will kill your Western-loving bastard relatives), it's considered a great honor to belong to the Young Pioneers. These kids couldn't explain the philosophical principles of Communism if you promised each of them three metric tons of candy, but they sure support the cause!

And who's there to argue with any of them or argue against China enforcing such policies for its children? Why, nobody of course. In fact, by supplying China with a permanent trading status, the United States now financially supports them in their quest to squash the hopes of their independent-minded minority into the ground. I just hope that when they use the incoming flow of money from the West to riddle the bodies of protesters with bullets, they buy the right stuff that will make it less messy for the country's janitors to clean up.

Now, it was bad enough when the Western Hemisphere just let China have Hong Kong without so much as a derogatory slur. Something as simple as "you Commie bastards" would have sufficed. But, no, the Western Hemisphere just let Hong Kong drift into China's grasp like a child on a raft drifting toward the open mouth of a shark. I thought standing by and just watching someone get raped was bad enough...but when the United States government provided China with permanent trading status, it went the extra step and started to pay the rapist for a good show.

During the 1950's, sure, we had a lot of paranoia going around about Communists, and it got kinda ugly for a while...but I would have hoped that something like that would have just made people more careful with their aim. Instead, the leaders of this country have become as listless as living room coasters, throwing down their weapons and simply standing idly by as we're all about to get it up the "old Hershey highway" by China.

How could such a thing happen? Well, it's actually like a cooking recipe, since every ingredient is needed to make it happen. First of all, we have to start with the most obvious one: the U.S. government. Ever since the late 1960's, the United States has just been itching for the chance to reap the supposed "benefits" of having a powerful ally in Asia. Important historical event: Nixon, the big guy behind the Vietnam War, visits China and starts up some sweet talk. Theme of event: Bomb the living shit out of Communist countries as big as my back yard, suck the cock of the Communist countries that have over a billion people. The U.S. government hasn't really cared about fighting Communism since well over fifty years ago, and it still has yet to start it up again.

Next on the list of ingredients: immoral companies. Jesus Fuckin' Christ, nothing gets me more pissed off than listening to a businessman describe his own tactics as inspired by Machiavelli himself. These assholes have the gall to call themselves capitalists, even though they'll gladly buy wholesale products made by political prisoners of another country. Contrary to some opinions, capitalism is about free markets, here and everywhere. It isn't about free markets here buying slave-produced products or stolen products from somewhere else. That isn't capitalism: that's anarchy. These kind of people would pimp their spouses if it'd give them a chance at getting a few shares of a pre-IPO tech stock.

If I had enough money, I'd try to out-lobby those corporate assholes and finally get a foreign exchange program going with China, where we'd swap their political prisoners for some of the executives that run these gutless corporations.

Last, but definitely not the least: the current mindset of the United States. In our little post-modern/post-industrial haven for pure shit, this country now rides the wave of subjectivism that's flooding the globe like a backed-up toilet at a Alabama family reunion. The population of today, which could make a difference as a whole by simply rejecting the idea of associating with China, has accepted the doctrine that moral standards are a thing of the past and that you can alter the philosophy of a country by introducing them to Diet Coke and Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Phrases like "I just don't think that we have the right" and "It isn't our call to make" permeate the dialogue of people today when you even get remotely close to an aggressive position. China has gotten away with so much because so many people have stood idly by and not condemned the very idea of its government and its supposed "ideals". Communism IS Bad...and, no, it doesn't look good on paper, for you idiots that even suggest such a thing. It looks like shit in reality AND on paper.

On paper, are you going to tell me that a doctor is just as valuable as a janitor? When your daughter is dying of cancer, who is more important? A man who saves lives or a man who cleans up shit for a living? And so you pay the doctor more for being more valuable. And, I mean, for fuck's sake, if you look at a video of tanks running over protesters in Tiananmen Square and tell me that you don't have the "right" to do or think anything about it, then why don't you just go ahead and put your balls in a jar, followed by handing them over to me since you won't be using them anytime soon.

So what's next in this little saga involving China? Well, I think that we definitely know how the United States would react if China were to finally invade Taiwan. More than likely, the United States would be so bold as to offer to bury the millions of dead Taiwanese for free and to make sure that the Chinese didn't get too carried away with all of the merry, happy-go-lucky torturing of the Taiwanese that happened to survive the invasion.

In other words, don't count on the United States government to be bold in its foreign policy anytime soon. And what will happen between the United States and China? Oh, I'm not sure. Maybe it'll go on being just as it is now. If that day does come, though, when China decides to get more "breathing room" by promising Russia that it'll just take Poland and leave the rest of the world alone, don't say that I didn't warn you.
