..and what makes you have the right to judge over the people in a nation on the other side of the world, with an ancient history and culture different to yours?
Iâ??m not a communist myself, nor do I agree on their political view. But I must say, that by your quote above not only piss on my Chinese friends, but the massgraves of 80 000+40,000 innocent Japanese people you-know-where and 3 million sivilian people in Vietnam ..to mention some. Your quote is not only despicable, disrespectful and totally out of â??out-of-dateâ??, it represents the very reason why we have and will always continue to have wars. It's a mentality so destructive that it should have faded away just by a glance back in history.
The written word is often hars, I know, but I just canâ??t stand quotes like that. In my time here on the forum, I have looked at you as a good guy, will not make a different judgement based upon your one sentence.

I have been in China, Japan, Indonesia, India, Russia, every European country, driven coast to coast in the US and fought side by side with US troops in search for Bin Laden in Afganistan.
It makes me wonder Howard, have you ever been in China? Sure there are no quality product from China?

Please donâ??t talk about the people with a different political view than youself as better of dead. Let that be up to the hands of God.
Don't even joke about it, as has been and is a reality that people get killed over such.


This thread is perhaps going for a forced closure, but I felt I had to share my view on this.. I have seen enough s**t caused by ignorance to let it go without.

To bring it back more on topic, wich is about the good sides of things.
China has today phased out most of the centrally planned economy that has been typical for communism. They are in an economic growth and trying to equal out the economic welfare between the citys and villages the best they can. Itâ??s a big train to speed up, with one fifth of the worldâ??s population, so there are still problems. But compared to 10 years ago, when I first visited China, the changes are significant.
