China is not capitalist. If we are to shove a label on it, the closest
one would be corporatist.

In my family we have had good luck with Dodge and Ford cars/trucks.
My Dodge Omni GLH Turbo had 153k miles when I sold it. The motor was
running fine. IThe original clutch had just started to slip. I also
had a Dodge
Omni GLH ( no Turbo) that had 120K when I sold it and it was still
running strong.
About 5 years later the person I sold it to sold the car again with
over 200k miles.
My father had a Ford Econoline 150 Van that went just under 300k with
only a head
rebuild. I believe longevity has more to do with how you maintain
your car.

I'm guess that is taking food that has expired and then re-packaging
with a new expiration date.

Actually it is the worst of global trade. China doesn't give a **** about
environmental degradation - all that matters is making profit. The world
doesn't need Chinese tyres.

The Chinese banking system is corrupt as well. It won't be long before
China has a BIG crunch. It is a well known fact that Chinese will put a
wager on two cockroaches climbing up a well (before they eat them). Chinese
people view stock market like cockroach races. Big trouble brewing for you
guys.

There are plenty of private companies there. Set up with western investment in
fact.

Reminds me of the ethnic joke about a roach and an Indian, Jew, and
English. Upon seeing a roach the English jumps up on a chair,
screams, and pee in his pants. The East Indian would catch it and eat
it. If the Jew catches it first, he would sell it to the Indian.

Guess you don't understand what corporatism is. Not surprising.

Please feel free to tell your understanding of China and the Chinese
people and why China's closest label would be corporatist.
