Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
The fact that this idea is even discussed by the media as anything but the delusional musings of an idiot, tells me how far your city has fallen. Writers have to tell you how stupid the idea is because the vast majority of Chicagoans are incapable of coherent thought or just don’t care.
