USA is a receptacle for Chinese goods
15/06/07
When the American government announces one day in the nearish future that China is now the biggest economy in the world and owns half of the US, don't hold your hands up in surprise and horror. And when the current wages of illegals seem like the good old days of fair pay, don't be dismayed. Just remember you heard it hear first on the 15th June 2007!
Housing boom boosts Chinese imports
It is simple inexorable economics. After dressing up a whole house for rental purposes and going half mad in the process, I can categorically state that the post 9-11 US housing boom has provided a bomb-proof platform for China to dominate the world economically. American homes are expensive receptacles for Chinese goods. Every piece of furniture, every frame, piece of cutlery, cookware, rug, corkscrew, you name it, however carefully you shop, bears the mark of a poor Chinese prisoner.
If it has Ikea or Walmart stamped on it, or has any wicker, cane or chintz in it, that item is not made in the US of A - and if it is sold to you in a US superstore by a retiree or school leaver, that equates to a US workforce getting poorer. Head for the fields, the wages there are looking quite good.
Wall St endorses the decline
And now the stock market is going mad over news of low inflation. They are of course ignoring gas prices in the equation, er, in a nation dependent on gas. Good one! That is the end of sanity. The rest of the demise of the US economy is like the A to Z of how to choke yourself on a golden egg.
I cannot believe I am the only pisstaker with a basic grasp of economics who can see the way it is going. I can only presume there are a few knowledgeable people making a quick buck on Wall St?
The red terrors are warring on US soil
One thought that crossed my mind in my delirium as I buckled under the weight of a sofa - maybe the Chinese instigated the war on terror. It makes sense. As I said earlier, a house-building resurgence dragged the flagging US economy along after 9-11, China has the merchandise to equip the empty shells... just a mischievous idea!

. China frees 5 US protestors against 2008 Olympics
28/04/07
This anti-Beijing Olympics story made me grin, and wonder, how on earth did the Chinese manage to arrest 5 Americans at 17000 feet in a place outside of China?
I thought perhaps with times a-changing and global warming, Everest had melted into Tibet, but wherever you look, the base camp of the mighty mountain still resides in Nepal.
Is it possible that the Americans climbed Everest from the Tibet side? This explains why they would have been under the jurisdiction of Tibetan/Chinese guides whilst in Nepal. But to be arrested at what everyone refers to as Everest basecamp, the American climbers would have had to climb Everest, descend from the summit into Nepal where the Chinese guides then arrested them and presumably carried their exhausted asses back over Everest and down into Tibet? I don't think so.
If anyone can explain the full story, please let me know. I don't get the logistics of it at all, and for once, I find this atrocity leveled at the Chinese authorities to be a little overblown.
Hey Beijing, any chance of lifting the ban on The Pisstakers for this hopeless moment of pro-Chinese propaganda? I will send you some gummi bears, loads of red ones.
Update: Apparently, as a result of the slight confusion over the location of the arrests, the Digital Journal story itself may be developing into an international incident in its own right. It may require a delicately worded press release from Beijing to nip it in the bud!
Updated update: Driven to research a story beyond the end of my nose, the Reuters people say the Americans were in fact encamped on the Tibet side of the mountain. That blows my image of 5 blokes strapped to the backs of yak or sherpas en route to Beijing via the 29000 foot summit. Oh well.

Everest has relocated?

Superhuman Chinese guides?

Is this story a crock of anti-Chinese wang poo?

Dow Jones plummets - Chinese laugh
27/02/07
The Chinese stock market fell 9% in a day and when the US markets realised it, they did as expected and panicked. China watches and smiles as they see the US markets knee jerk and sell off. Why smile when their own market has tanked? Simple, in China they don't care because it was a short term plan to drum up some business for China! How so?
The US stock gurus read the wrong signals coming out of China and thought the world economy was on the way to hell. As a result, there is suddenly no value in any American business that was doing just fine yesterday. Manufacturers in America then think, "Shit, we really need to drop prices to counteract the impending drop in consumer confidence. What do we do? Oh yeah, outsource more jobs to China."
Bingo, China gets more orders and buys more cheap US stock with the proceeds and buys up more debt and so it goes on, eating into US sovereignty and eventually achieving world domination.
