Why is the US Giving Free Money to China? | NTD China Uncensored | NTDonChina



NTDChinaUncensored·Published on Apr 26, 2013

First Post March 27, 2013: China is the world's fastest growing economy, the second largest consumer of energy, maintains the largest standing army and holds about 1.2 trillion dollars of American debt. It's also technically a developing nation and so get's millions of dollars of aid money from around the world. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? On this episode of China Uncensored, Chris Chappell reveals how the Chinese regime manipulates its image as a superpower and developing nation by keeping the coastal cities rich and the rural areas poor.

1. US Aid

US aid is often a term that really means, "We're propping up a corrupt, brutal regime that its people desperately want to overthrow, and we're doing it because we (meaning big corporations and their pet politicians) benefit from doing business with that regime."

In light of that, it wouldn't surprise me at all if China keeps getting 'US aid' for as long as they're willing to keep turning their country into a polluted sweatshop dedicated to the manufacture of cheap goods bound for Walmart shelves.

On the other hand, whether through aid or trade, most of the countries of the world are corrupt, brutal regimes nowadays. The entire world system of justice and equality is corrupted.

China is absolutely vital to the US in terms of trade. Look at American companies present in China like Apple - the US needs cheap Chinese labour and is probably just doing its best to keep it that way. Statistics about US exports to China really put the importance in perspective.

...nobody asked me. And I think if anyone else asked ''the US'' the US would also say that they don't need China's workers.

- You mean THE OWNERS need China's workers.
