The million Zeros was damn hilarious. I can't believe all the high-profile people like Lakshata were there. Anyway, quite the gambit, and was quite dependent on Suzaku being a "nice guy". I will say, however, that Suzaku's actions have placed him on my list now not so much in the "intense hate" catagory so much as the "mild dislike" catagory.
I'm still hoping an I-beam will randomly fall on Nina, though.

Yo, finally back. What exactly about the beginning of turn 9 makes you smug? For one thing, the architecture of the buildings shown implied a not-quite urban environment, which would contradict the conditions for a China of sweatshops. Similarly, China's declining (as opposed to rising) economic status implies that the Chinese Federation wouldn't have the kind of manufacturing monopoly that has generated so much of China's growth today.

This is not really to support any point in this debate, but to bring to light a point. |

I want to read and catch up on all the other threads I'm following before I jump back into this debate, so it might be a bit before I reply again.

Also, you might want to note that modern China is nothing like the Soviet Union. For one thing, Soviet Russia was never any sort of competition economically for the U.S.. The Cold War would have been completely onesided if it weren't for the nukes and MAD. China on the other hand isn't threatening to the U.S. militarily, but rather through the U.S.'s dependance on Chinese exports (though I'll stress again that the only danger here is that the Chinese economy might fail, because the Chinese are just as dependant on the U.S. for their own growth-- they wouldn't dare to try to sabotage them).

Come to think of it, Chinese Federation = Soviet Russia isn't such a bad comparison after all. |

Depends on the sweatshop type of labor. Look at the Japanese after the Black Rebellion when they were in a state of extreme poverty while still being worked and exploited. I'm judging the possibility of cheap labor more on how Britannians have opperated in the past, not how our world economics opperates. As for comparing the C.F. to the U.S.S.R., you might as well make note that Stalin was able to make his people move every single war-factory on the east coast (or near Moscow) to the west coast in the span of a year-ish. This was done brick by brick and is by far harder to do than making a million costumes. |
