China’s Business Crash, Profits Down By 80%

China has companies which have suckled the pap of ignorant foreign investors and favorable governmental policies for the past two decades. As such, the chicom firms do not know how to truly compete. Consequently, these firms, when faced with a crisis, shit their collective britches, abscond money and fold.
Major chinese companies will see profits decline by as much as 80%, which means your China stock portfolio is about as worthless as laws in China. If you are hurt by this drop in profits and stock prices, then good for you. You were an idiot to buy anything made in the big stinky anyway.

Funny Story From China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on July 18, 2012


I saw a funny thing on my way to work today. Scads of barely employed migrant workers drug their alloted single child off to see the mottled corpse of the most prolific mass murderer of all times, aka Mao. Isnt that a riot?
