What in the world would make people think that China, that doesn't give a shit about it's own citizens rights is suddenly going to be philanthropic with other peoples citizens? Like you said Brian "the same treatment as chinese workers" those Zambians are a bunch of crybabies. They need to buck up and learn Chinese!(not just the language) Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I don't know if this is purely a racism thing, china according to internet gossip is one of the most racist Asian countries, more so than even South Korea or Japan, but this may just be a issue of china not giving a dam about people in general be it Africans, Asians or other Chinese.
Nobody thinks that. The mine workers weren't the ones who decided to grant China license to operate in their country. That was done by the actual government. The way Chinese resource imperialism works is that they buy access from corrupt elites by giving them cash and promises of development. The development mostly consists of roads connecting soon-to-be-empty mines to ports, along with some palaces for the leaders and roads to them.
The official GOP position on shooting workers on strike? Spoiler Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
china should get backlash for that. they should improve conditions and give proper pay. bad people are the problem in this world plus people who don't know what fair is and expect too much, which is the opposite extreme. though it wasn't a good idea to throw rocks, that's probably what gave them the excuse to start shooting.
As the GOP leans further to the left, their support for violations of peoples' rights will undoubtedly increase. You may eventually be right about this.
Sounds like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and their secret Chinese funding of the GOP. In Chinese leadership lingo, Republican means Left. It's starts with a woman getting her head stepped on, then as they grow in influence, Chinese bosses start running western businesses, then the working-class gets it's head stepped on.
What do you mean? There are many historical examples of conservatives supporting violence against unions and striking workers. It's only recently that they started to use non violent means to undermine labor. Now it's almost a moot point, there is very little labor organization here, and most of the industries have been outsourced.
The crossroads There are three ways to take such statements by our neighbor. First, that he is an unabashed right-wing apologist on par with some of this community's lowest intellects; second, that he is actually a closet leftist, trying to discredit the right wing by posting the most ridiculous rhetoric he can conceive; third, he's just a misanthrope looking to stir things up by posting absurdities. I've made the mistake of taking him seriously before. I don't intend to repeat that error.
Now those incidents you speak of, when did they happen? before the switch in terminology of Liberal and Conservative in the American political lexicon? Remember classical political definition of liberal and conservative are the direct opposite of what we here in America define them as, and it has only been of recent events, since FDR that change in definition has taken place. So in the first half of the 20th Century, and the last half of the 19th century, where most of the great clashes occurred between Union and Conservative Business owners, the Classical Definition of Conservative was the norm and that Definition is what the Liberals in America represent today. It is only reciently that any labor dispute between unions and business have become less violent, it wasn't just the Bosses who used violence, the Labor Unions committed act just as violent as anyone else. And not just against the Business owners, but even against any of their own who did not tow the Union line.
