You mean the $30billion< the Big multi-nationals invest?. The Government of China invests more than 1 TRILLION dollars EACH year. Hong Kong, and Taiwan invest MORE than the big multi-nationals in the Chinese economy. If China closed its doors to the Multi-nationals they themselves would go bankrupt since their goods, investments and their manufacturing places would all but have gone. Backing, stock market would collapse whilst the resource sector would go into a massive recession, japan will enter back into recession and in turn cause a global depression
This goes back to your original comment about " the foreigners are the real source of the money" which I said only includes big multi-national companies and not small time investors since the average Chinese business man has more many that most investors
Nope no joint ownership here and none in any of the other Taiwanese factories I've been to.
You must be working in a very rural area of china where regulations are lax or in a SEZ. The sweatshop you work in is probaly a sub-contractor for a bigger company with a brand name. The other explanation would be he appiled for a PRC citizen status and was allowed to establish a factory by himself
What would you suggest I erad mainland CHinese books and websites, they are heavily censored. Seriously, you believe what they say?
Why would I have ANY reason not believe what they say?. They have photos, evidence, the majority of villagers talking about what happened. Using personal accounts from DIRECT relations to picture in what actually happened.
You must have realized that MOST people did not like the cultural revolution and the people who came out of them had hatred, not for Mao but the gang of four. People like Deng Xiao Ping was a VICTIM of the cultural revolution and when him and other people who were prosecuted took power had no reason to lie about what had happened. Instead they TOLD and made available their HONEST stories about their experience. What things are published in the west are absolutely fantasy made by people who were prosecuted and there for had to make bigger stories to sell books
Mao never controlled it, nor did he try to because he did not know what was going on. When he did find out what was going on he ordered them to stop and they were stopped by the army. Maos aim was to bring about the "re-education of the chinese peasantry but his aim was turned into revenage against the landlord class who was universally hated by everyone under him. Although there has been books and events of extremes, they are always the extremes while other places held humiliation rallies for other landlords and other corrupt individuals
Why don't you find an instance where the US bombed the other side of the Yalu ?
Rhee Syngman and some elements of MacArthur supporters try to sabotage the talks. US planes "mistakenly" strafe Kaesong, convoys carrying the communist negotiating team, and armed raids across the cease-fire lines. American planes bomb Dadong in Manchuria .

However, Truman and the other leaders disagreed, and MacArthur was ordered to be very cautious when approaching the Chinese border. Eventually, MacArthur disregarded these concerns, arguing that since the North Korean troops were being supplied by bases in China, those supply depots should be bombed. However, except on some rare occasions U.N. bombers remained out of Manchuria during the war.
MacAurthur simply ignored those orders and attacked Dadong which was a supply base or arms depot. Your trying to play the sympathetic American card, "they were in their right to bomb those bases"?. Please, dont try to stook that low and try to et our american members to save your disucssion
The US lost less aircraft to air combat than the Chinese. In fact it was the 2 Russian Air Regiments which scored the majority of the kills against the US.
Thats the biggest pile of crap you keep on telling. The Soviets lost MORE aircraft than the chinese airforce in the Korean war. They even admitted they lost 345 MiG-15s in the conflict
Here is a list organized by the Vertans of the Korean war, in part sponsored by the US government. Koreanwar.com . You might also like to check the list of UN aircraft loses as well
Fighter - MiG-15
VVS - 345 VVS
PLAAF - At least 83 PLAAF
KPAFAC - At least 1 KPAFAC
Of, where are you quoting these russians kills from?. You mean their claim about downing 600+ sabres as well?. Wont you one of the people who shouted loudest once when these russian claims where published. Why the change of heart so quickly, selective listening?.
How did the Americans know that there were Soviet pilots flying instead of Chinese flyin those MiGs since the US never was able to put edvidence that Soviet pilots were in the war until the Russian government released classifed korean war files in the 1990s. How to you say that the USAF knew they were chinese pilots instead of American.
The Reason the chinese airforce suffered such small losses is because they would be bouncing American bombers and sabres with cannon fire and then re-gain altitude until they kill them or ran out of fuel in the process, the Russians on the other hand where using their WW2 methods of digfighting with a fighter not meant to dog fight and got themselves killed and did not finsih their mission
If Manchuria wasn't asafe haven for teh PLAAF then the PLAAF would have been wiped out in MAnchuria.
And the reason they didn't wipe out the bridges in Korea or they didn't wipe out the supply lines or even the airbases on the Korean side of the Yalu is because?. Factor the fact that the B-29s and other bombers were forced into high-altitude bombing because of the MiG-15 presence, continual AA guns on a massive scale and the Manchurian airforce which was not commited to the battle as yet.
The Sabres would also have to travel extra distance which causes even less time to dog fight from the extremely short time they had to begin with without attacking over the border and avioding AA fire and more fighters. They orginally came in groups for a 20-1hour interval and swapped with other fighters in a wave type of continuence. The sabre did not have enough range to dog fight and continue the battle and your claims about a massacre are founded on absolutely nothing except for kill ratio with the sabre and MiG-15 even those the MiG-15 was designed to and assigned the mission of attacking bombers and not being a fighting escort
