    The “slave labor” thing about china is 40 years too late. China now has wildly better working conditions than India or Phillipines or Indonesia or Malaysia.

    Aren’t you concerned with the cold-war-like escalation that we’re seeing the US adopt against china?

      Terrified. But more for American East Asians, at the end of the day. They’re already getting the Arab-American treatment by degrees. If we continue to escalate, it won’t be long before they’re full 2nd class citizens.
