Sorry, I have to respond.Do you really have a tight grasp on what the governmental structure, human rights, and overall components of your argument entails?
And what, pray tell, does the government structure of any country have to do with anything?
This isn't the 1950's.
The Chinese government is Communist. Actually, "Capitalist Communist" or "Capitalist Socialist" comes closest to reality, beginning when China got Singapore back from the British, in the early or mid 1980's.
The Chinese government does not own or run/control every business and farm any more than the Federal or state governments do here in the good old USA.
Chinese Industry and Agriculture were both privatized in the 1970's and 80's
Are there "Human Rights Violations" in China? Of course. Name one country that doesn't have Human Rights violations.
By the way, there are sweat shops in pretty much every country, including this one, too. Always have been, always will be.
My circa 1907 to 1911 Robeson pen knife was hand made. All the pins are flush, ad no noticeable to the nude eye gaps anywhere.
"Hand made" does not mean it has to have minor defects.
Oh, I've been raked over the coals and accused of "bad mouthing" GEC every time I "say" (type) anything other than glowing praise concerning them.
Anyway, I'm out of this. Have fun y'all.
