Why don't Conservatives love communist China?

Question

It's a paradise for them because:
1. Heavy monitoring of the internet, so no pesky liberal is allowed to speak up without getting arrested.
2. Chinese know how to deal with liberals, they run over them with tanks, unlike the wishy washy cons here!
3. No need to worry about burdensome government regs, just put out any type of pollution into the environment and poisons in the products you sell without worry if it will increase profits.
4. Government busting unions if they want better pay.
5. Unlimited supply of labor to hire from.

Answer 1

Hehe, nice. That sounds like a conservative's fantasy land. I encourage them to move there to truly enjoy the policies which they so whole-heartedly support. :o)

Answer 2

China is not a communist country; there is no such thing as a communist nation and there never has been. Regardless of what party rules the state, the fact is that no true communist country has ever existed. Communism and the state (ESPECIALLY a totalitarian one) are fundamentally incompatible, as true communism requires absolute democratic control over the means of production- leaving no semblance of government short of decentralized, local worker's councils even possible. China is state capitalist, not in any way communist.

Although the fascistic, totalitarian China does sound like a right-wing wet dream.

Answer 3

I think conservatives say one thing but mean something else.

Yes, the China situation is getting overwhelming. I think that we all could learn from the way they brought their country out of despair into a world power in a very short time.

I would not like to live in China but I have to respect them for what they have achieved.

I still like Chinese food the best. For about $6.35 I can get all you can eat buffet..as long as you go before 3 p.m. ..this is better then Mc Do or Burger King..

Answer 4

They do. Cheap slave labor by 12 year old girls for pennies a day, more revenue from stock in corporations that manufacture there where there is no regard to the environment. After all they did run over the liberals and intellectuals with tanks. What more could they ask for?

Answer 5

Because China govt likes control of people. Many of us conservatives are Libertarians who like freedom, the opposite of what China wants. Indeed, China is the exact opposite of what this conservative loves. To me, the US is becoming more like China all the time with increased regulation on education, etc. That is not a good thing. I want drugs legalized and the govt totally out of private life in every way but basic law enforcement. I want freedom of religion and that horrifies China. They regularly put Christians like me in jail or kill them. Your vision of conservatism is Republican, which loves control, as do liberals. To me, liberals seem like a much better fit for the China way because they love regulations that control people's thoughts and behavior. Take Hillary's ambition to put all 3 year olds in government school so the Village can teach them how to think right. Your people are much more China-like than many of us who love freedom and small govt.

Answer 6

China is not conservative so it would not make sense for them to love China, considering it is run by left wingers. The protesters at Tianemen square were from many ideologies, left and right, including rival communists

Answer 7

I wouldn't want to live under a communist regime for anything. Nor would I want to live under Socialism.

This country is rapidly heading in that very direction and if you can't see it, open your eyes. Hillary will guarantee an even larger loss of freedom than what we're presently experiencing.

Answer 8

But I thought they did? O not to live there of course but to buy their stuff and send our jobs there. Of course by now we all have to buy their stuff as nothing is made here any more.

Answer 9

and nothing is made here anymore because the union's have ruined this damn country thats why cars cost 50 grand.

Answer 10

because it looks like a money-making heaven to them
