Culture clash complicates China's Brazil push

[Martinus]

I love the Chinese complaining about bureaucracy, red tape and state control. 

Fucking chinks, get back to your rice holes.

[Josquius]

Wow does  China sound  awful.  Hope I never have to work for them.
Thank god the fanciful depictions of a future world  dominated by China are likely nonsense.

[Camerus]

I would never work for a Chinese employer.

I find it incredibly amusing how the Republican Party, traditional Bulwark Against Communism(tm) for decades, is increasingly adopting their practices.

You say that now, but wait until they herp Eulope out of its clisis with loans.

[Camerus]

If I can avoid it in the very belly of the beast, I should be able to avoid it most anywhere.

It's not that contradictory at all.  China is much more fascist than communist now.

It's all shades of socialism.

I'd be terrified of a race to the bottom against the PRC and their hordes of slave labor, but ultimately their own internal contradictions will tear them apart.  And then the United States, Europe and Japan will pick up the pieces--hopefully pieces like Hong Kong, Tsingtao, Macau, and Dalian.

Back in 2000, back in Paradox, Malthus promissed me that China was to collapse within 2 years because of all the same things you said.
I'm still waiting.

If China collapses who will you be selling the US state secrets to, though? 

[Monoriu]

I don't think China will come anywhere close to dominating the world.  That's not desirable, not practical, and frankly meaningless.  The real risk to you guys, is China engaging in a race to the bottom in terms of labour and environmental practices, dragging everybody else down

i hope the Chinese policymakers aren't that stupid. And if they are they might as well kill all chinese now and be done with it.

[Jacob]

I get the impression that Koreans are probably a little more laid back than Chinese.

What do you base that on?

I don't think it will happen, to be honest. Already you seem to have a growing middle class, even in the mainland. The only question is whether the Chinese leadership will be smart enough to spot these trends, or will try to resist them, thus dragging China into a turmoil.

The pact that the Communist party has struck with the people is no political freedom in exchange for growing incomes.
