Today In Human Geography class we continued to watch the
video “The People’s Republic of Capitalism”. I continue to have mixed-feelings
about the use of China as our manufacturer for almost ALL of our imports. I
wonder, “How did we get ourselves into this dilemma?” Many business men view
this “interdependence” as a win-win situation. However, I have a feeling that
businessmen our just into this thing
for themselves. Is America way too dependent on China? I don’t think that any
country should be too dependent on another. Why can’t America be like the one
that was first created? During the industrial revolution America supported the
whole world. If the American economy crashed then the whole entire world’s
economy would crash. But now, even though America is still on top, it depends
on China in a very significant way. If the Chinese economy was to ever crash, I
believe that it would take at number of years before America could get back on
its feet. Despite my view on Chinese-America relations, I think that China and
America are way too intertwined to do anything about it now. Thankfully, at
least American consumers benefit in some type of way.
That is my view on American-Chinese relations.
P.S I don’t know if this is weird but I kind of want to
write an essay about this. ;)
