They have a pretty good grip on news in China and more importantly they have an even BETTER grip over power.....as in all the guns. So while they are aware of the danger of free speech they don't worry too much about it as long as they have that monopoly on power. The same monopoly the American Communist Party nee Democrats are seeking here via the guise of "gun control".Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-51069811584752809562019-09-03T00:23:49.316-04:002019-09-03T00:23:49.316-04:00I haven't said much on the so-called trade war...<i>I haven't said much on the so-called trade war with China, and while I prefer and believe in free and fair trade, we are light years from that and can't get there from here. It's simply not possible to play that game unless both sides are committed to being fair.</i><br /><br />In the free trade tariff game theory, countries are no different from any other trade partner. If you like the deal they offer, take it; otherwise, don't. Free trade and free enterprise is always more productive no matter how your trade partner behaves, and what tariffs or iron curtains they have.<br /><br />The claim there must be a government here to oppose a government there is merely an apology for power, an excuse for there to be a communist central planning committee that is supposed to set up and knock over the lives of humans like they were green plastic army men belonging to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-36539186852954220512019-09-02T21:49:48.844-04:002019-09-02T21:49:48.844-04:00Fascinating article, SiG.
