Quote from: Herman on Today at 02:46:18 PMNo major economy relies on slave labour more than Canada. Temporary foreign workers are more than fifteen percent of the workforce in this country. They are usually from India and the Philippines. The folks that employ them are usually Pakis. They withhold wages for any excuse they can find and they cannot leave. How are they not slaves.Canadian students can't get summer jobs but service job employers are hiring internationally?
Quote from: Lokmar on Today at 01:19:22 PMMitsubishi made a 2.4 liter engine in china. It was discovered that them fukin chanks were using slave labor, they were warned repeatedly, then one day in 2022, the ships came into Long Beach and they were told fuck you and fuck your slave labor chank engines. All the fork lift, generator, and other OEM's that used that engine were immediately fucked.No major economy relies on slave labour more than Canada.

There are employers in Canada and the US that still use slave labor to this day.

Quote from: JOE on Today at 01:51:16 AMAnd despite what others say about China and for that matter Asia being the next Economic calossus, all those nations fall short on the quality of health and threat of disease. Sure, perhaps people can make a lotta money over there...but at what price? To one's health?Honeybunch, that is false. Hong Kong Japan and South Korea are one two and three in life expectancy. Macau Singapore and Taiwan also rank very high.
Quote from: Shen Li on Today at 01:07:43 AMIt seems like you have been brainwashed by English language media. I'm not surprised. They have brainwashed a lot of people in Canada, the US, Britain, Australia and New Zealand against the reality of life in China and Russia too.
I was a product of the one child policy enacted under Chairman Deng Xiaoping. It was ended some years ago. The central government and some provincial governments encourage having a second child now and even offer financial incentives for families that do. China is following the wealthy Asian economies(Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, HK and Singapore) who have the lowest birth rates in the world.
The orphanage story may have happened and it would make a good Disney movie if it did. However, it would be extremely isolated and not the norm like the Anglo media world would have everyone believe. China is a huge country with 1.45 billion people. There are pockets of poverty and neglect just like there are in your country.
Many Chinese view Canada and the US as soulless places based on how almost everything the Chinese media feeds them is about how horrific it is--the violent crime, the homelessness, the drugs, single parent families, family violence, child sexual abuse and so on.
The slave labour thing is Western propaganda. I lived in the city of Shenzhen across the border from HK. It has an enforced minimum wage and an average wage on par with South Korea. However, I don't blame you about about avoiding foreign purchases when you can.
There are protests all the time in China, just like there are in Canada. Some against provincial governments and some against the national government in Beijing. Usually corruption and preferential treatment are the reasons. Many times it's bread and butter issues as the days of 8% growth in China are over just like they ended in the little Asian Tiger countries.

Even when dog meat was still legal in Korea, ninety five percent of Koreans under the age of forty have never tried it.

Quote from: Dove on August 01, 2025, 09:55:12 PMI know very little about China. I know about the one child law. I know enough about the "great leap forward". I know about the dog meat festival and i know a few people who have gone to China for the purpose of missionary work.
And i was told of orphanages that had a room full of babies, none of which were crying because they knew no one was coming. And it broke my heart.
I tend to view China as a souless place based on how almost everything i have learned about it is horrific.
I put effort into avoiding purchasing things made in China because i want to avoid contributing to slave labor. Its very hard to avoid products made there.
I cant understand why there hasnt been major uprisings. I remember right before covid Hong Kong was fighting for freedom. Then covid hit and i didnt see anymore news about that.

Quote from: Lokmar on August 02, 2025, 12:11:20 AMThe proper term for those slants is "Flips".We had a lovely Filipino American poster here for many years......Azhya Aryola is a Donald Trump supporter.
Quote from: Dove on August 01, 2025, 09:47:11 PMI didnt intend to be insulting to Filipinos. Ive met several amd found them lovely. I was more referencing a lot of the country lives in poverty and the women are either being exploting OR exploiting lonely western men.I didn't think you were belittling Filipinos. And like any developing country, I am sure there are scams to get money from Westerners.
Plus someone showed me a "crush porn" video a long time ago and i cried for like two hours and it haunted me for years.
Quote from: JOE on August 01, 2025, 10:59:01 PMAnd I'd never move to Singapore is it's too fuckin hot for tastes. Isn't it like 90 F or 30 C much of the year? Like no thanks. Even Vancouver is unbearable these days and it's only 25 C or about 80.
I can't stand all that heat, Shen
