That's because China practically OWNS America's economy.

>>1990
Pretty sure he was just describing modern China.

>>1990
The problem is that you're treating it like a binary switch when it's best viewed as a spectrum. If we take the definition of 'free market' to be 'an economic market without any government regulation', then I don't believe there's a single one in the world.

>>1990
So having cancer in one organ is the same as having it metastasize throughout your body? I would fucking love to be mostly cancer-free if I had cancer spread throughout my body, that is a terrible metaphor. Though to be fair there are only terrible metaphors for that because it's a terrible reasoning.

>>2003
Well then that was a horrible description. How is a country that censors the Internet for their entire nation anything near 'benevolent'? What a joke.

>>1999
>>2004
Yup. You're both correct. Grand, isn't it?

>>2005
You're a terrible metaphor. Actually you're just terrible at understanding metaphors.

>>2006
Because its a country that is willing to execute one of their top drug regulators to improve the standards of their medicine and safety of their food products.

What do we do to drug and health regulators in the states who have turned out time and time again been convicted with the same acts? We give them more money.

>>2010
Right. They did something good for their people. No government is able to mistreat its subjects 100% of the time or it'll be overthrown. I don't think anybody sees the Chinese government as a bunch of evil guys in a dark room making plots around a poorly-lit mahogany table.

My point was that they are interested more in maintaining their own power than the wellbeing of their citizenry, rather than being focused on the wellbeing of the population in order to assure continued support of their authority. Not that that isn't normal, as virtually all countries do it, but it is contradictory to the idea of a 'benevolent' government.

This thread has been hijacked by Communists.

Are you a bad enough Sergal to save this thread?

>>2000
Less than a quarter of foreign holdings isn't the entirety of the economy, bro. There's plenty of domestic holdings, and even disregarding them, it's less than a quarter. Compared to the American holdings in China, it's relatively insignificant. Where China is relatively dominant is in production of consumer goods, but that's a whole different can of worms.

>>2012
I suppose I must be, since I'd make a horrible Sergal.

>>2015
I can't seem to find any information on American holdings in China, either my Google-fu is weak or them Chicoms are sneaky-sneaky. However I do know the relationship between Americann holdings in China are a lot different then the relationship of Chinese holdings in America. For example, I do know The Chinese do not need to beg America Companies to invest into their domestic industries, its more of a extremely profitable business relationship between companies then petty politics and having no other alternative then to keep buying up US treasury bonds and facepalming HARD; I give you money, you make the products on time. Very simple. Win-win (Except for the factory workers.)If you're not willing to invest, there's ten to twenty other investors lining up behind you.

This is because China despite all of its flaws, corruption, and being one of the most polluted places on earth, does one thing right: As a nation it manages its finances and economy very well.

And China MUST manage it very well, is going to face ALOT of problems in the near future, a life insurance and pension crash, water stress, too many old people and not enough young workers in the next 20 or so years, desertification and not to mention the need for enormous amounts of energy. However, its quite prepared to face these problems, its got the money to buy itself out of troubles. They just need to continue using it wisely (Hopefully).

WHAT'S THIS?!
DISCUSSION?!
OF COMMUNISM?!

UNACCEPTABLE COMMUNISM IS A LIE. COMMUNISM IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF FAILURE. DEATH IS A PREFERABLE ALTERNATIVE TO COMMUNISM. INITIATING DIRECTIVE #7395: DESTROY ALL COMMUNISTS!

>>2067
>#7395
Does that mean there's 7394 directives more important than that?

>>2068
No. All directives from 1-7394 are the same, but phrased differently and occasionally just in a different accent.

>>2064
I don't. :V

>>2078
She may be a bitch, But I'll rather have her than these filthy fucking commies!

She's also very fluffy, don't you people forget how goddamn fluffy John is.
The overall fluffiness of tgchan is on a record low since her absence.

I miss AfterQuest

>>2150
Odds are that Goshen & Aphek are locked away in some dungeon where they're forced to live the rest of their lives as john's playthings.

>>2151
Marriage isn't nearly a bad as you're making it out to be, even for Sergals.

>>2151
Um... Goshen's a dustlover and as we saw before JOHN HATES DUSTBACKS. Like a PROPER Sergal.

>>2155
It's much easier to torture and humiliate someone you hate.

>>2159
Where does the hate part come from?
The insults they exchanged are like flirting for Sergals.

I guess Apheks place in that relationship would be either house-slave, again, or the wedding feast.

Goshen isn't exactly an abolitionist. His reaction to the slavery question was 'well, I got a free slave and I guess that's neat but I don't know anything about taking care of them.'

So John can you make a list of things you hate in order of how much you hate them?

>>2155

Slavery =/= "Love"

John! Show us the cutest face you can make, in the cutest pose you can, er... pose in. Please.

Dammit, John. Stop hiding in the snow.

yeah it was the only picture I had of a sergal being tortured. But the point still stands: don't fuck with the KGB.

How about "DON'T FUCK WITH JOHN."

Unless you're Joan. Then it's OK.

oh please, that Cheren chick can easily kick John's ass.

>>2897
Ends in slamfucking?
John should be, as a purebreed Northern Sergal, quite a bit bigger and stronger.

>>2892
So Vyts a pedophile?

>>2897

Cheren is way more badass than John. Truth.

The Badass Quotient (BQ) of all actions increase in inverse proportion to the individual's natural advantages.

>>2901
How is having tiny ears a advantage?

>>2902
It allows her to hide more effectively. That way she can continue being a coward.

>>2903
Indeed. John is by far the most cowardly sergal I ever had the misfortune to know.

>>2896
Can you actually use that thing?

Трусливый Сергал!

Выходи и бороться чемпион славного Советского Союза.
Вы не можете скрыть навсегда в мрачной пещере и обмороженные.
Я пожиратель крошечные уши и делать ушанка из кожи!
Я буду сидеть на вас и тянуть твой хвост, пока Вы не плачь Сталина!!

Показать себя, если у вас больше, чем большие пушистые Турция.

Save us from the Russians, John! Inflate your ears to make yourself appear larger to predators and frighten them off!
