What about the screwing of America's poor and middle class? Are THEY getting what they deserve from the Chinese, and their decadently aristocratic countrymen?
The Chinese, by the way, never did anything to emulate our culture - there's is the oldest on this earth, and the larget one too, so why would they want to do that?
On dishonesty and corruption, the older cultures are best at that. Empires rise and fall on the metastasizing of greed-fueled corruption in a proud old culture - so was the case from Sumer to Egypt, the Jews, Babylon, Greeks, Rome, Spain, Britain, and now America. Most would rise and fall into diaspora, but the Chinese were bound by mountains and sea.
If the Romans were penned in from the rest of Europe by mountains and sea, much more of Rome's present day culture would likely have evolved on par with that of the Chinese over the millenia, showing similar degrees of social complexity, and with that far more advanced art where the practice of manipulation, general deception, and ethical relativism is concerned (stagnant water breeds pathogens, and stagnant culture breeds pathogenic cultural attitudes). What actually happened there, due to the relative mobility of Rome's best as it's empire crumbled, is that it's culture dried out instead, leaving a population which is legendary among the rudest, meanest people on earth.
Does nobody remember just how shamelessly the Chinese postured when confronted with blatant violations of the Olympic committee rules on the required age of gymnastics participants, when not one of their entrants could possibly have been older than an underdeveloped 12 years old?
China is now a culture where each of every 1.2 billion citizens is completely controlled by politics, and winning is everything. They all spend their lives trying to impress each other with their patriotism and true belief in a system which would chew them up and defecate them out instantly if they showed the wrong reactions at the rallys which they are forced to attend, much less wrote dissident letters to their government-controlled news media. Much has been credibly written on theirs, and other Asian cultures which tend to emphasize the will to be pleasing on the surface, to the point that it becomes an utterly ridiculous stumbling block to the communication of serious business issues between subordinates and their superiors (and is often used as a smokescreen to frustrate anyone who might raise an issue with same company).
My point with the above is that the Chinese spin on honesty is so much different from ours (still, however bad Americans have learned to be), and so cynical that they cannot be compared. China is a culture which is full of people who, down to the lowest factory worker, will stoop to anything to win, where most truly do not care about any distinction of right from wrong apart from how it is dictated by their parasitic authorities. It's 1.2 billion pathological liars, with a double standard of consumer safety ethics when it comes to the rest of the world, which has done much more to make them so rich. We all know this, so why don't we all get a spine and stop buying their products?
