I hope the people of California do something historic as China's disastrous Olympic Torch Thug Tour invades the western United States. The Thugs in Blue should not be allowed in, or out of, San Fran tomorrow. There should be rage in the streets.
I have nothing against the Chinese people, except their wimpishness for not rising up and jailing their leaders sooner. This rant and my rage is targeted at the evil and corrupt communists running the joint.
So to get Wednesday's San Fran party started, and to rub salt in their wounds, let's recap how f*cked China's government is today:
1) You traded your crap for trillions of US dollars that are getting more and more worthless every day
2) You're evil "let's kill all the girl babies" policy has put in place an epic demographic timebomb that no matter what happens in the world over the next 50 years, you're f*cked
3) Your Propaganda Olympics has blown up in your face something fierce, as you are mocked and repulsed around the world, and your Olympic dream has been destroyed.
4) The "China" brand has been permanently destroyed. Might as well rename the country at this point. "Made in China" now means "Made by Evil Communists"
5) Your US distribution channel (known as "Wal-Mart" to the masses) has also had its brand soiled. And its most loyal US customer base, the illegal and now jobless invaders from Mexico, are heading home in droves, leaving just the dwindling dregs of unpatriotic and self-centered to buy your not-so-cheap-anymore crap
6) Your investment in Blackstone blew up in your face. Welcome to capitalism comrades.
7) The Rice Riots of 2009 are just around the corner
8) In the next few years most of you will be killed or jailed by your fellow citizens, and your ill-gotten gains seized
9) Americans will finally come to realize that you caused the Great Housing Bubble and Crash by manipulating your currency and artificially keeping long term US interest rates low by buying up US t-bills. And they'll be pissed
10) Your out of control pollution and contribution to global warming will end up killing you in the end no matter what else happens
Enjoy tomorrow you corrupt communist pigs!

so? with bush running our country, what are we saying? are we idiots yelling at idiots?
Don't hold back Keith, let us know how you really feel!
Maybe now all you idiots in S.F. will stop wearing the Mao and Che t-shirts.
One thing to consider everyone is if the Olympics were held in the US this year, and the torch run was going on around the world, our corrupt and murderous regime would also be the subject of intense rage
The world deserves better leaders. The people of China don't have a choice. We do. And I hope the people of both countries rise up and overthrow their leaders this year.
On a relate note, two more playahs from NY who blew their money away on Made in China crap just to be Wal-Mart slaves for life:
PALM BEACH POST — A 70-year-old man attacked an 81-year-old man with a pricing gun inside the Belvedere Road Wal-Mart Sunday, according to an arrest report.
Dennis O'Brien and John Esposito began arguing and O'Brien swung at Esposito with the tool in his right hand, the report says. Esposito suffered a swollen left eye and cuts on his nose and mouth.
Esposito said both he and O'Brien worked at Wal-Mart. He would not discuss the nature of their argument.
O'Brien told a sheriff's deputy he acted in self-defense, but security tape showed O'Brien raising his hand first, striking Esposito in the face and then pushing him to the ground, according to the report.
Officials booked O'Brien into the Palm Beach County Jail on aggravated battery charges.
Brutal man! brutal. But dare I say, are we any better off? Bush has f*cked as just as bad...are you really naive to think that Obama will save America? lmfaoX2.
Have we, the American People, risen up to stop the crimes against humanity perpetrated by our own leaders? Here we just stand no chance against apathy and big money. There the people stand the very real risk of being shot or run over by a tank. Here we won't stop shopping at Wal Mart even though everything is made in China and the Walton family is the biggest enemy of the middle class since the robber barrons of the Gilded Age.
common on bay area, make us proud!
Shame on you, keith!
See the Tibetan rioter trying to grab the Olympic torch from the disabled lady in wheelchair:

I don't like what the Chinese are doing to the Tibetans any more than you do Keith. I also don't like that they have kept their currency undervalued in order to build themselves up at our expense,
BUT
The Chinese are now responsible for the housing bubble???? We love debt here in the USA. We LOVE debt. They have given us the debt and the consumer junk that we lusted for. We have known that the Chinese were manipulating their currency for years. America CHOSE to buy into the Chinese cheap crap trap. We still are. Walmart is doing great.
So now that we are broke, we are going to blame them for the housing bubble????
Is sort of like I beat my kids because they won't eat their dinner, but I gave them all ice cream first because they were screaming for it. So, whose fault is it they won't eat?

Bah! You only think we have a choice Keith. The public is carefully molded by media propaganda carefully managed by the Pentagon. It's called a scientific dictatorship.
Look up Operation Mockingbird
Or read 1984.
Keith you're right, the people of China don't have a choice and we do. We're just too fucking stupid, too bad, so sad.
With such a surplus of men China will become something like a gay utopia.
China will really enjoy the DIEOFF
Haven't you heard men can have babies too. lol.
Are you serious? San Franciscans riot over the presence of Communists in their city? Lolz. They've been lusting for this day to come! What next? Texans rising up over the presence of gun-toting Republicans in an Independence Day Parade?
The commies here are just as bad. Comrade Dumbya, beloved party leader. All hail!

Ha, talk about whimps, about 1000 Arab sheiks own all the oil, land, woman, golden palaces, and super sized yachts.
And the rest of the Arab population don’t even have the right to plant a grain of rice.
They are however programmed to kill themselves and as many ‘infidels’ as they can.
I herby declare all Arabs the biggest whims of all mankind, until they have the courage to rise up and hang their rulers.
So once again Keefer, the Chinese leaders are not perfect, but they also do not spend their fortunes funding mass homicidal maniacs.
On the contrary people in China have benefited tremendously by their leaders decisions thus far.
Direct your rants and rage at higher priority.
Too many people seem to be missing the point here.
Is all this vitriol being spewed at China REALLY just about their treatment of Tibet?
None of this has to do with the economic malaise currently being felt in both the US and Europe, right? And of course it has nothing to do with China’s pollution of its environment. Nor with China’s vorcifirous consumption of oil, which has helped to drive up prices in the US and Europe, right?
After centuries of self-imposed isolation from the rest of the world, China suddenly woke up and became a world power to be reckoned with. And after sending millions of jobs to China, the West both resents and fears China’s growing might.
The Olympics is China’s ‘coming out’ party - much like a society debutante – and she is now being snubbed by the West, much to China’s chagrin. Can anybody see how important hosting the Olympics is to China? It is like finally being accepted as a player on the world’s stage. It is an honor.
The Olympics is still an ideal to many people – and not just the atheletes who participate – who put this sports competition above international politics.
President Jimmy Carter was an idiot for putting politics above the Olympic Games, and so will be those who choose to boycott them this year.
And re: the events in Tibet, can’t anyone else see this for what it REALLY was? It was a warning – a shot across the bow, if you will – to Taiwan.
Yes the Chinese govt. sucks. But given our current government, who are we to criticize them?
Hopefully the Chinese people will one day rise up and fix things over there.
Just like we should here in the US.
-Mammoth
We'll see the breakup of China into a dozen countries like the fall of the USSR
We here in America would be very happy if countries like
Egypt
Libya
Syria
Iraq
Lebanon
Iran
Saudi Arabia
Turn into corrupt communist like the Chinese.
Chinese are innovative, hardworking and have contributed immensely in almost every field from art and science to medicine.
Arabs have contributed only one thing (not invented on their own), explosive belts.
Now this is a funny..
You calling the KUNG FU FIGHTERS whimps?
Have you seen the French army latley?
Mammoth,
Very well said!
Don't understand your rant, were you laid off due to unfair Chinese competition.
I don't understand why China even wants Tibet, just a pain in the butt to them, probably would let it go if they could do so without losing face.
I do undersand that China sends us lots of cheap goods so that we become totally dependent on them so that when they want to take Taiwan, we will be politically powerless to stop them.
FACT: Bush is the only United States President to run away when his country was being attacked. (by a man in a cave with a 1973 walkie-talkie.)
Man,o man! Pass me that popcorn! The show's just getting started folks!
I am against corruption, oppression, censorship, false imprisonment, murdering monks, communism, currency manipulation, raping the environment and killing baby girls
Besides that, China is swell
(ya know, looking at that list, the US ain't far behind folks)
Aha I knew it I knew it
Keef said: ‘and killing baby girls’
You don’t care about killing baby boys
Wahhh whaaa *sob*
I think Mammoth really get the points. Olympic is very important to China, really because we thought the world accept us. After falling behind for a couple of hundreds years, we are catching up. But from all the shows, we realize we are not that well accepted, it's a world full of hostile and bias.
That's pretty good for both Chinese government and people, we now know what we are facing when 1.3 billion people want to be better off by hard working, we don't have any naive illusion about the kindness of western people any more.
In the future, if China really become a developed country and hostile to your USA, you have credit, Keith.

Keith, I hope HP doesn't turn into chinabashingblog.com. I agree with your other readers that we have plenty of our own problems to babble endlessly about China. Nuff said about China; can't we just move on?

I thought it was commie dogs and capitalist pigs, I'm confused
The government of China has the responsibility for the well-being of its citizens, it is doing many of the things you are suggesting we aught to do here in the US.
Protectionism and tilting foreign interactions in our favor.
WTF is the point of the torch run if they need that much security to do it? Did anyone read the article today about the paramilitary police who are running to protect the torch (they are the dorks in the blue jumpsuits)?

The Peoples Republic of San Francisco protesting The Peoples Republic of China? Why?
I work here in the Bay Area and it's ten times as "weird" as you see on TV or in the Newspaper.
Nice post!
At least there's one American left with the frijoles to stand up to the Red Commie peril.
Looky here: China is a totalitarian regime of the worst kind!
They'd drop a thousand nukes on the USA if they thought they could get away with it!
The crime syndicate known as the communist party rules China like the mafia.
Send their asses back to the stone age and stop trading with these left-wing Nazis.
Bush should tell China to go f-ck itself and shove the Olympics up their anti-democratic a--es!
I spit on Hu Jintao and the commies.
I want a free and independent Taiwan.
Not only that, if China ever tries to take Taiwan, I want the USA to full-scale attack them.
As goes Taiwan so goes the West!

You're right, they've been resting on their laurels these past few centuries, but you can't take away thier original input.

Keith said: ) You're evil "let's kill all the girl babies" policy has put in place an epic demographic timebomb that no matter what happens in the world over the next 50 years, you're f*cked
actually, the chinese propensity to favor boys is a cultural phenomenon not limited to communist china (south korea has the same habit and resulting imbalance in sex ratio). the chinese did exacerbate it, though, by instituting the one-child policy, whcih put more pressure on its people to get the 'right' sex the first time around. the one-child policy, in turn, was seen necessary because of Mao's "the more the better" population policy of the 50's-60's. and so around and around it goes.

Geez, Keith, you really are delusional. You tout Peter Schiff as a profit, maybe you should actually listen to him.
The United States has borrowed billions of dollars to borrow cheap Chinese goods. China has used that money to modernize their factories and build a real manufacturing base.
Some day, Americans won't be able to buy Chinese goods. It'll happen because of the US recession (deflation) or because the Chinese revalue their currency, but the "why" doesn't matter. What matters is, when that happens, Chinese consumers, now rich from a revalued currency and a burgeoning middle class, will start buying their own goods domestically. Their factories, which now churn out cheap crap for Americans, are modernized and will build products that they can consume.
We're toast. They won. To pretend otherwise is folly.
You should really go to China and see these things first hand. I do business there, I'd be happy to give you a tour, let me know.
China, these "commies" as you call them, actually have less regulation and tax than we do.
Mammoth, you hit the nail on the head. I spent 11 years in Taiwan and I can guarantee you that much of the crackdown in Tibet was aimed at Taiwan and its election. I am sure that the crackdown is serving dual purposes, but Taiwan is a main part of the show.
This blog is slowly morphing into an ultra-left-wing kook blog.
If the olympics were to be held in the states, would you call for the boycott keith? Any answer other than "yes" and you are a hypocrite. ALL countries have corrupt politicians and practices, although some more than other.
"I have nothing against the Chinese people, except their wimpishness for not rising up and jailing their leaders sooner. This rant and my rage is targeted at the evil and corrupt communists running the joint."
Replace "Chinese" with 'American' and replace "communists" with "Bushco Regime" and what have you?
America the Great?
Home of the Free and the Brave?
America SUCKS. Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.
The reason China won't let go of Tibet is because it possesses one of the main sources of water that China depends on--and will need even more in the coming climactic changes that will make water resources precious.
>> I have nothing against the Chinese people, except their wimpishness for not rising up and jailing their leaders sooner.
Well, I guess that explains why internet access is so restricted, now doesn't it?
First of all, Olympics and Politics should not mix. It doesn't matter where the Olympics is held. We should always support the Olympics.
Do you know why so many goods are made in China? It's because they produce the highest quality give the price. These big corps tried building their factories in the Phillipines, in Indonesia, in Thailand, in Vietnam, in India, and various Eastern European Countries. But it just don't work.
Us North Americans consume too much shit! If we stop buying and start saving more, China would not be exporting some much to us.
Killing baby girls is wrong. But they don't do that anymore. This was something a few decades ago. The ratio of males to females in China is crazy. People now rather have a girl.
The f*cking Dalai lama is the dick. He cause some much headache, causing riots.
Just got back from China. Was in US Immigration/Customs waiting in line. A guy who looked a LOT like Mike Norman was in front of me. I thought of Keith.
The best thing about the newspapers was the references to the "Dalai Clique."
While HPers and the world masterbates...........
China prepares to control worldwide iron ore mining.....
So they can build more tanks, ships, ordnance and missiles....

Keith,
If the Chinese Yen were free floating, would you prefer holding Chinese Yen instead of the US Dollar for your own asset allocation? If not, why would you think other people would? The purchasing power disparity argument makes no sense at all: a jar of peanut butter cost three times as much in NYC as in southern Georgia, and the two locations have the exact same currency! The difference indicates the cost of doing business in NYC as a commercial hub. The currency peg is simply a manifestation of other countries of the world submitting to dollar hegemony in order to join the worldwide trade system. What they really want is not dollar, but oil, food, and all other basic material that are routinely priced in dollar. If a Chinese business can profitably make a widget for the cost of one gallon of gas or 5 pounds of wheat flour, including shipping to the US, whereas the same widget made in the US would cost 2 gallons of gas or 10 pounds of flour (about $6 today), it would make absolutely no difference what the Dollar-RMBYen exchange rate is.
Chinese and Indian companies have a competitive advantage largely because they have workforces that have recently experienced the miseries of socialism. The productive elements in their societies understand that only hard work can bring about prosperity . . . sitting around and whining about having government stepping in to protect everyone would only bring about misery. Bashing China on account of their "communist" government is quite disingeous; a large part of the Chinese success story is due to relatively lack of socialist government intervention in the economy (not for lack of trying on the part of the government but simply due to economic growth outpacing government growth). India is experiencing the same phenomenom: they are "stealing" both manufacturing jobs and IT jobs from the US . . . and India is the largest and oldest surviving democracy in the world. If anything, China today is far less "communistic" than it ever was; it's ironic that wannabe collectivists in this country want to pick the "communist" bone with China now instead of when it was actually socialistic/communistic back in the mid-1970's.
While I support Tibetan Independence, the race riots that some Tibetans started in the last few weeks is hardly a productive path to go about achieving it. The neighboring countries, like India and Nepal, all have recognized as much. Even His Holiness Dalai Lama has vehemently disowned the rioters.
Keith,
I guess you support slavery, right? You know most Tibetan were slaves under Dalai Lama before 1951, don't you? Why you hate China so much, loser?
LOL Keith you really stirred up a hornet's nest of your commie pig readers. Why don't you try criticizing Obama Messiah next?
Have you seen the French army latley?

ha ha. that reminds me:
go to google and type in "french military victories" and click 'i feel lucky'

contribute? seriously. only after they copy and steal the technology.
idiots yelling at idiots.
you are all sheep. rise and throw off your chains. what? you love your chains. and there is a sale at wal mart on chain polish? well then, it must all be okay then.
Tibet was a theocracy, no better and no worse than china. in fact, some say worse for the lowest caste. china was an improvement for the serfs in tibet.
do a little reading.
the demographic issue is interesting. are they going to go gay, or import mail order brides from the US?
the HIV issue is so sad too. I saw a report on Chinese farmers who got HIV because they donated blood for much needed money, and they reused dirty needles on them. of course, the Chinese media is in denial about this and prevented reporters from talking to dying farmers leaving behind orphan children. ;(

Wrong. This blog HAS MORPHED into an ultra-left0wing kook blog. But it's still entertaining as hell. What keeps this DailyKook blog more fun than the regular DailyKook blog is that Keith doesn't realize he's a Kook. He and his minions fancy themselves some revolutionary libertarians or some shit. In fact they are nothing more than your typical anti-American, anti-capitalist, Mooslism appeasing ultra-libs who think more government and higher taxes are the answers to all problems.
But like I said, still entertaining.
Why do you hate the Chinese government so much? Are they really that bad? How much fact do you really know? How many native Chinese have you talked to? Have you ever visited China?
While you rightfully question anything in the main stream media on the economy and financial issues, you swallow their blue pills on China like no tomorrow.
Have you ever doubt for one second that the western media might be wrong?
It's because they produce the highest quality give the price.
-----------------------
that is bs. the produce the cheapest, period. cheapest cost, cheapest quality. the sh*t just doesn't last like products from japan back in the 60s and 70s. back then, made in japan meant that it was cheap and wouldn't last.
Skaven,
You are right. The point is, the leaders in America have sold us down the river. America has given China the income it needed to modernize. It now has the industrial base to militarize and win any war against the United States.
The U.S. is a shell of its former self. It is the Britain and France, circa 1938. Our leadership is run by arrogant fools.
When our economy stumbles, we are foolish enough to think we should not cut spending. We defecit spend at the Federal level, at the state level, at the county level, and at the city level.
America deserves what is coming to it. I do, however, believe that after we get what we deserve we will WAKE UP finally. NAFTA, CAFTA, NAU, WTO, and anything else that harms Americans will be done away with. America will return to the Industrial giant it once was and China will not surpass America as the world's only Superpower.
If I am wrong, then America will succomb to second world status, along with Europe. China will become the worlds only Superpower and communism will begin to spread once again. Well, communism Chinese style will begin to spread. ;)

Olympics were always political, sometimes less, sometimes more. Go, educate yourself. If it doesn't matter where they are held, isn't it a bit surprizing how eager many countries are to get them? And why should we always support the Olympics? Professional sports often have no benefit in commercial, medical, and political terms.
> Do you know why so many goods are made in China? It's because they produce the highest quality give the price.
Go, and peddle your "China ware" somewhere else.

You seem to suck too much Chinese government propaganda into you. The demonstrations are a sign of the dissatisfaction of the Tibetan people, and most of the violence a consequence of the Chinese police's stand on free expression: it's only good if you agree with us. You might not like the Dalai Lama's religion (I'm no buddhist either), but he could be a calming influence if the stupid Chinese govenment let him.
I can't stand those idiot Chinese either. If the US is to attack China today, I wonder how many of their neighbors would come to their defense?
Probably none and that would not surprise me at all. Stupid monkey looking people with a dragon ego.
Get a life guy...the only economy in the world right now that's working is the Chinese economy. So, who's the idiot now?
Sorry, remind me what is "communist" about China? There are lots of other very nasty words to describe their despotic regime, but I'm not seeing a lot of communism there.
Hey Chinese scum, I heard the Americans are selling horsesh!t in a can. Aren't you going to copy and pirate it with you oooohhh so advanced technology you got from Wal-Mart?
Chinese are nothing but a copying machine. When you Chinese ever invent something really revolutionary like the Internet, Laser, Fiber Optics, Cellular Phones, Rock n' Roll, Blues, Jazz, Electronic Music, etc, you call us back. Until then, you keep eating with your 2 sticks and thinking you're somebody.
Now go back to counterfeiting American DVDs, Nikes, Microsoft Software, iPods, you bunch of Human Xerox who spread around the world like parasites. We don't need your damn Chinatowns everywhere in the world either to sell fake Chanel handbags, you know?
In the meantime, we're going to be here, working hard to invent the next innovative and revolutionary products for you to counterfeit. Ok, dirty commies who live to copy?
Conservaturd GOPers HATE it when you insult the Chinese commies Keith!! That's because there best buddies in business. When it comes to whoring themselves for a buck, nothing beats a GOPer!!!
Keith,
Love your blog, but my god man, get a hold of yourself. China delivered what WE, yes, we (as in the US) asked for. Blame US government -- legislative, regulatory, judicial, executive; blame US corporations; blame Americans for embracing the cheap at Walmart; blame the US financial entities.
Because even though China may well be a monster, we opened the door and allowed it in.

"PALM BEACH POST — A 70-year-old man attacked an 81-year-old man with a pricing gun inside the Belvedere Road Wal-Mart Sunday, according to an arrest report."
Reading that, is it any wonder that our country is the laughing stock of the world. As far as Wal-Mart, I would rather go without than have to shop at that miserable, good for nothing immoral junk box. Every item that I have seen in that place is garbage. Cheap plastic junk, built by slave labor to line the pockets of brutal regimes (China and Wal Mart upper management) that noone needs anyway. We deserve much better, and I would love to see Wal-Mart get broken up or bankrupt. Unfortunately their stock seems to be doing better. What a shame.
I hope that having the Worlds eyes on the Olympic games brings reporters that expose the dark side of China, and not just the rosy picture that they want the World to see. Nothing would be better to watch on TV than some good reporting on human rights abuses, sweat shops, police brutality etc. on the world stage for all to judge. Alas I am afraid I am asking too much of the MSM, but hopefully the independent news services and internet bloggers will dig deep and find some really embarassing and thought provoking stories and make the Chinese government and Wal-Mart have to answer for their crimes. Then they can take their place in history with Ken Lay, Jeffrey Skilling, Angelo Mozillo, Stalin, Hitler and all the other people who I am sure have a special place in hell.
All this Chinese hate is just thinly-veiled jealousy because they're rising after several centuries of not being the top dog and we're falling. We're going back to the days of Admiral Zheng He guys!
The torch run is sponsored in part by Coke. Do you think they are going to be able to leverage the run into anything now?
If the run gets cancelled to they get their $ back?

I really like what Mammoth said. The thing about you Keith, is so often you have really good insight, but you focus your anger on a group, a crowd, and you get vitriolic. As much as it is a vehicle for pointing out the ills and wrongs you see, you dehumanize those you go against, I guess, to achieve the greater good of enlightening the crowd (us) about what is going on. I view it as a theatrical ploy, because so often you are so sincere and clear for wanting good things to happen.
