"Trouble me not" - US & China

US & China

TRADE


It is natural that the US has to suffer big unemployment, since its deficits in trade with China is so huge.

Not many US manufacturers are needed in America as US supply chains import goods to sell to consumers from China.
Many of the thorny issues in the bilateral relationship between these two countries can be traced to the evolution of the rising bilateral U.S. trade deficit with China. This deficit rose from about $84 billion in 2000 to nearly $227 billion in 2009 (about 1.6 percent of U.S. GDP).  In 2009, the deficit with China amounted to nearly two-thirds of the overall U.S. trade deficit of $365 billion, compared to about one-third in 2008 (see Figure 2).

While the US economy was supported by false credit systems, including subprime mortgage schemes, American consumers could buy many commodities, necessary or unnecessary, and many American workers were employed in various service sectors relying on huge consumption of American citizens.

With this false credit power being taken away, the US economy is no more supported by huge consumption, including sales of homes, and thus it cannot offer many working places to ordinary or poor Americans.

Yet, Japan has exported to China more than the US exported to China, since there are 28,000 Japanese businesses operating in China.



EDUCATION

China, in 1970s, 1980s, and probably even in 1990s,  did not even teach children that Americans landed on the moon in the late 1960s.
In China, standardized tests are seen as the only way to guarantee meritocracy and ensure fairness. 
China has a long history of standardized tests, beginning with the ancient imperial exams initiated during the Sui Dynasty. 
Chinese students are taught that all questions have but one right answer and there is little room for debate. 
Chinese students develop what appears to many Westerners to be a shocking capacity for memorization. 
In China, there is an increasing desire to make education more American. The lack of creativity in education will soon prove a major stumbling block in her development. 
Chinese students achieve near perfect scores on Western standardized exams. But when go abroad, they find themselves ill prepared for the education. 
Government and business leaders worry about a derivative, manufacturing-based economy that is unable to innovate core technology and lags far behind in creative sectors. 
Passing trivial problems up the management hierarchy is simply impossible in a sophisticated post-industrial society. 
Assumed skills such as in-class participation, seminar presentations and individual research projects, common practice in elementary schools in North America, are largely unheard of in the Chinese classroom — even in most universities. 
If North Americans are to pick up the math and science skills common amongst Chinese, or if Chinese are to develop the creativity of North Americans, it is not enough to implement change in the classroom. It is the culture at large that needs to be transformed.

GANGSTERS


Chinese people are not taught ethics, religion, or social morals.

The worst combination of egotism, nihilism and materialism of the bad Chinese tradition and  Marxism has resulted in deep evil in the minds of some or many Chinese in an alarming scale, since China has more than one billion population.

The Guardian team estimate that more than 4,000 young Chinese are in effect enslaved in the brothel system in Britain. 
What is really alarming about this story is that the team went to Fuijan (which, they point out, is actually one of the wealthier provinces in China) to find - utter indifference. The only thing of interest to the locals was money... 
Constantly we are told that the Chinese are wonderful immigrants, industrious and enterprising. And these Chinese racketeers in the U.K. are certainly both! But one has to ask: if they treat peoplefrom their own province like this, how can they be expected to treat the rest of us, given the chance? 
The evidence is, as the recent milk powder scandal is also showing, Chinese culture is morally flawed, and living with too many of them is going to be a problem. 
Of course, exactly the same Chinese prostitution racketeering is doubtless happening in America, only on a bigger scale. http://www.vdare.com/posts/chinese-the-exemplary-immigrants

The Democratic Party of the US is not so pro-Japanese but somehow dangerously pro-Chinese.

The big factor of the US unemployment is not Japan but China.  However, as the Obama Administration is somewhat pro-Chinese, it cannot solve the US unemployment problem.  Instead, the Democratic Party is thinking how to increase American export to Japan but not to China.  In this context, TPP or the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement is not so desirable.

(TPP is designed to enrich Wall Street more but not Occupy Wall Street protesters.)

Yet, strangely Russia expects Japan to join TPP while China does not like to see Japan joining it.

It is a little complicated, but we had better refer to NAFTA which has simply accelerated deterioration of the Mexican society with full of gangsters on its border to the US.

The US should not launch any such trade scheme.  The US should not try to use foreign countries to  solve its problems such as unemployment.  The US should simply promote democracy more domestically, so that every participant in Occupy Wall Street will be satisfied.  The US should concentrate on its domestic market.  Think of that, even 99% of rich Chinese want to leave their country and live in America or so on.

If President Mr. Barack Obama cannot change the biased policy of the Democratic Party, it is better for Japan to deal with a different president of the US.




Luk 11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
Luk 11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
