It is in my opinion, that it is imperative that the United States not give in to the bullying tactics of Communist China. Notice I said “Communist China”? Let no one forget that Communist China is still one of the most repressive dictatorial governments in the world.
Communist China’s latest bullying tactics are akin to economic war. Sadly, the United States, my country, put itself in this position because of the lust for more and more low-priced gadgets and toys and larger and larger corporate profits. All at the loss of hundreds or thousands of American jobs.
The US won a major war over 250 years ago. The war against England for our independence. England was then deploying similar tactics against the US. Thousands of men did not shed their blood then so that now the US could cow-tow to the bullying of Communist China. We won that war and we’ll win this one.
I understand that major companies may sacrifice great revenues if they are forbidden to sell and do business in Communist China. In war, we all have to make sacrifices. The overwhelming lust for revenue and profit should not come at the expense of America’s heritage and national honor. I also understand the desire for cheap gadgets and electronic toys. After all, if it weren’t for the low price, most of us wouldn’t own a new flat screen HDTV today.
But I urge my fellow Americans to buckle down and show Communist China that we will not simply bend over to their bullying tactics. We must show them who truly is the super power in the world.
