Surpassing the previous record set by Pittsburgh in 1980.

Time for ChiiiNA to start feeling some pain after taking all our jobs. I don’t feel sorry for them

They didn’t really take all our jobs, they were offered them.

Throw in the sex imbalance from the one-child policy and it sounds like a formula for military misadventures.

Heck just send em here. Apparently we got room and money enough for everybody. Well, except for U.S. citizens that is.

The thing about China that most people don’t understand is that they don’t NEED anything from anybody.

If a half million or more die of starvation they don’t care.

It is a communist country (which is a higher form of socialist). Hillary or Bernie could easily explain all the FREE things government will provide them (how the wealth of remaining workers can be “redistributed”) so those laid off never have to work again the rest of their life with the expectation that they vote for the proper socialist or progressive in the next election...

It is a Socialist website so I don’t know if it can be trusted but we are seeing indications we never really recovered from the Great Recession.

If a half million or more of them die - that would reduce the unemployment rate and require less money and work to feed those remaining...

I tend to NOT believe a single word that the Chinese put out. They are for themselves only and don't give a rat's about the rest of the world.

I wouldn't put it past them to somehow be using this statement of theirs as a way of manipulating the world.

Chaina is a godless, soul-less regime. They wouldn't rule out literally cannibalizing their bretheren.

But, wait! China is still officially “Communist” to a certain extent, and a workers paradise according to the hippies of the 1970!
