Google Reported Ready To Leave China April 10
A number of readers including tsj5j and bruleriestdenis wrote to alert us to this CNET story: "Google is expected to announce on Monday that it will withdraw from China on April 10, according to a report in a Beijing-based newspaper that cited an unidentified sales associate who works with the company. 'I have received information saying that Google will leave China on April 10, but this information has not at present been confirmed by Google,' the China Business News quoted the agent as saying. The report also said Google would reveal its plans for its China-based staff that day."
As already pointed out by sibling post - doing business in China is not "trade".
Addressing globalization - that's not really "trade" either. Corporate America is sacking the United States, and Corporate Europe is raping Europe, moving manufacturing and other business to third world countries, where they can make goods more cheaply.
Americans are getting nothing in "trade". Especially in the case of China, which regularly uncovers a new scandal involving deadly products being sold around the world.
Let's sit and talk about this "globalization" thing. Here, I'll pour some coffee. Care for some melanin in your coffee? Or, I have powdered melanin, if you prefer. Fresh off the boat from China!

Mao Tse Tung's personally selected leaders will shoot these "intellectuals" in the head. Problem solved.
And then Obama's Communications Director will give a speech about how Mao is her "favorite philosopher"
No, no, I'm just joking.
