Quote HistoryQuoted: Yet somehow, the Chinese race is flourishing. The last kill off of Chinese nationals was between 1950-53. I know the Marines killed a lot of them. Whole divisions of the Communist Chinese Red Army were retired from the order of battle. They fucked them up. China lost big time face over that one. Still to this day. |

There's a reason why China is buying up a fuck ton of our farmland and it's not to feed us that's for sure. They're siphoning food resources from countries all over the world because their domestically produced stuff is gutter trash.

Even Wikipedia, as corrupted and whitewashed as it is, says this: "The exact number of famine deaths is difficult to determine, and estimates range from upwards of 15 million to 55 million people." A ton of folks were just outright killed too. There are lot of books on it though; I've read several but I can't think of the names of any of them off the top of my head. The problem is that China tried to hide the numbers for obvious reasons plus so much of China was still rural and record keeping just wasn't accurate. They fudged numbers on everything trying to make it look like it wasn't as bad as it was, production numbers (grain/food and metal since a lot of the problem was Mao's insistence on trying to "industrialize with the "backyard furnaces"), etc. Everything about The Great Leap Forward demonstrates the evils of communism. |

I refuse to buy any Chinese products if I can help it. Sometimes I fuck up and don't read the label like I should.
As for food, I ALWAYS read the label to see where it came from, and never, never buy any Chinese food product. I really enjoy Thai food, and Penang coconut curry with shrimp is one of my favorites. But I never order it in a Thai restaurant. There's too much Chinese shrimp on the market. They even sell it at the local military commissary. But I won't touch the stuff. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm not a fan of foreign ownership of American assets, but the Chinese buyout likely saved Smithfield and the company is doing better than ever. It certainly helps it's local communities as a result. We don't import meat back from them. We Export only. It really just opened the opportunity for Americans to sell more pork to the CCP. I live in Smithfield and have friends that work at the company. I've got no complaints about their product, and know that they are behind some high end pork products and bacon in the US that don't carry their name. It's awesome when friends gets samples at the office.

Typically, cotton is a dry land crop and rice requires a lot of water. Took like two seconds with Google. Having grown up in Arkansas on the foot of the Mississippi Delta area were most the of the Rice is grown, it is common knowledge that cotton is a rotational crop with rice and soybeans thrown in the mix. The vast farmlands of Delta area in Arkansas have been carved, diked and cultivated to pump water in and out as need for the crop at hand. They have the flexibility in Arkansas to do both crops. Maybe in Texas, it is a either or thing but in Arkansas, Mississippi and parts of Louisiana on the Delta, they can do both. https://ipmdata.ipmcenters.org/documents/timelines/Rice.pdf |

Louisiana could make plenty of rice. The farmers are getting out because of cheaper competition not only from china but Vietnam as well IIRC. They mostly make money on crawfish (which is federally protected here) If they made chinese rice reporting mandatory like crawfish is here it would probably help

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just market a stove that burns rice. Sell rice as fuel. Grind them up and make brick mortar. Talents of Shekels and all that $tuff. I think rice husks are being used in cement nowdays actually to make lighter(though weaker) insulating cement. As i understand it hte rice husks are basically environmental waste as it but combine with concrete and it gets some interesting properties(chemical resistance and measureable insualtion gains) problem is milling rice produces TONS of it but concrete uses lbs of it. |

First of all don't eat any food from China. Second the standards used by the American government in testing food and water are a moving target. If someone goes to the government and says we can remove Z chemical to the .0005 ppm even if the previous standard is .001 and .1 is safe the new lower standard of the equipment salesman will be put in place and water systems will be forced to buy the new filter that may never perform as well as it does in a lab test.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My buddy married a Chinese National. When he came back from rural China he told me that “the Chinese will eat anything with four legs that isn’t a table.” Watching a group of them eat entire fish with the bones and lobster shell and all at a very high end meal told me all I needed to know. From what I've seen covering all types of meals they are all basically Rambo when it comes to food. But that's what happens when you have exposure to true hunger as an issue. Most folks in the US have no understanding of that. Not saying that is bad, but most of us are soft in many, many ways. |

We export rice to China not the other way around. Arkansas is the largest grower of rice in the USA. California is a distant second though they tend to grow different varities. The rice plant likes to take in arsenic. The more arsenic in the soil the more it takes up. Buy American and you don't need to worry.

China, somewhat paradoxically, has an extremely tribal society. It's just that China isn't the tribe. It's too big. Chinese have very narrow loyalties to their immediate families and clans. That lack of trust causes a lot of problems in a modern economy. In America, someone who sells tainted food is a monster. The whole society will revile him. In China? Don't sell it to your immediate family/clan. That way you can make money for your little tribe and the harm falls on "outsiders" so it doesn't matter.
