The Chinese are coming up against some hard realities. Probably the worst hurdle they have to cross is their own corruption. They are so corrupt that they will even poison their own children for a profit. They send their relatives overseas for education, vacation or their health and then they take what they can until they are about to be caught then they flee the authorities. They don’t float their currency so we can’t compete with their production costs. They pollute their water and air. They defile the land. Their only motive is to gain a short term advantage. And it is coming back to bite them. Their people are rioting and have the numbers to demand fair treatment.
We support them with our greed. We need to make moral choices not easy choices. We need to take care of our people and the environment that they depend upon.
If we can become a moral nation that cherishes the earth and the people that live on it then we can be the example that the rest of the world once again turns to. We can be the world leader that we once were. We can be the 21st century world leader that is missing and so desperately needed.
