This is Albert Posting
So Jinghao gave me the opportunity to post here, and I guess I might as well do so because I have the power right? As this is Jinghao’s blog, I’ll go along with the flow and be very nerdy.
I went to this celebration of China’s 56th anniversary today. You see, China’s 56th anniversary of becoming the “People’s Republic” is coming on October 1st and they decided to celebrate with a flag raising down at the County office and then a dinner at the Dynasty restaurant at Valley Fair. I thought some of the comments were pretty cheesy and quite political to make everything seem very toned down and neutral. But one quote–quoted not verbatim but close, caught my ear:
“China is not an economic threat. It is purely a part of our economic engine”
I’ll let you digest that for a few seconds. Read it a couple times more. This is the supervisor of district 3 saying this mind you. Read it another time. And again.
Do you realize how moronic that sounds?
Someone obviously hasn’t been paying attention to the world lately huh? While Ron Gonzales deals with Garbage Contracts and the San Jose Earthquakes soccer team moving out of town and this guy has to deal with that, millions are getting their jobs outsourced overseas to a person named “Johnny” who only learned english last week. And that guy is saying that?!
Read that quote again. And don’t vote for the guy when you get a chance. Because he sure has no idea what he is saying. (Of course, when you are caught in the emotion of a Sino-American celebration, you have the tendency to say something stupid.)
