Outrage for Chinese counterfeiters

[Necron2.0]

Regardless of what the rest of this thread was about, I highly doubt China would want to destroy the western world when that is the precise source making China the fastest growing economy in the world. No Chinese official is working on a secret plan to drive GW out of business to stick it to the west. Why would they, they make all of the plastic.

Oh, the plan isn't secret. It's been out in the wide open for years - numerous people have commented on it, and have been ignored. As for China's stated goals, I believe Mao's Little Read Book © is still required reading in China, at least for party officials. It has been several years since I read a translation of it,but I recall there being several references to western running-dog imperialists, and how it was the People's duty to overthrow them. Mao's goal was for that to be accomplished by force of arms, but the current regime has been accomplishing it through economic means.

And part and parcel to that is undermining Western economic strength through counterfeiting. It started with luxury items like Gucci handbags and designer jeans, but now it's common throughout every economic tier, with pretty much every product conceivable. In fact, the counterfeits were so good, the counterfeiters were licensed to produce the "real" products. Again, this isn't news. Analysts had been commenting on it for years, but nobody paid attention, and now we're living with the consequences.

But all this is largely moot, and wasn't the point of my original post. All I intended to say is that discovering counterfeit GW products in China isn't actually news.

It's really amazing, if you think about it, how high the quality Chinese produced products have become over the past 10 or so years. If the unemployed 10% in the US was actually willing to work, I don't know that we'd get the same kind of quality anyways.
