18. China cannot afford anything.
They are closing factories left and right. Toy makers are 90% idle. Finished goods, like computers, etc, are in the shitter, with no one buying.

their economy is far worse off than ours, plus their rural areas are dying. (City folks would work and save, sending money to their parents and kids in the country) Because of the lack of jobs, the poor are suffering even more. There have been reports of riots in some areas. Why do you think that the Chinese just cancelled all agreements to share economic data with Reuters, Bloomberg, etc?

Kirk only has 1/2 the story. but that's par for GOPers, even the smarter ones like him.
