Kamala’s running mate, Tim Walz, gave thumbs up to Chinese communism as a teacher

[JoeB131]

I appreciate your interpretation of Walz's comments. But there are many others who seem to have been left with the impression his comments imply support of China’s system:

As a high school teacher, Walz presented to students favorable picture of communism in China

Walz’s China ties garner attention, provoke GOP criticism
.
Tim Walz has fawned over Communist China: Doesn't have to be 'adversarial relationship'
.
Walz Praised Chinese Communism as a System Where 'Everyone Shares'
.
Walz Praises Communist China in Unearthed Article | Headline USA


So, since Walz is running to be Vice President of the United States, does he not have a duty to explain and clarify to the public why he once made such comments, and if he has changed his previous views, and if he condemns China’s system which the CCP openly and proudly asserts the tenets of “Marxism-Leninism” are “. . . correct and have tremendous vitality”?

JWK

In every oppressive country like communist China, socialist Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, etc., where the people are disarmed, they suffer the loss of inalienable rights under an iron fisted government which lives large off the people’s labor. Forewarned is forearmed.

Wow, this sounds like a good thing.

Our biggest problem with China is that our leaders really don't understand Chinese culture or history. It would be nice to see someone who does.

And just not seeing anything horrifying there.

Everyone is taken care of?

My wife is from China. One of the things that horrifies her is when she sees homeless people. This is something you'd never see in China.

Last time china repoeted it’s homeless rate there were nearly 2.6 million people on avg every day.

The Chinese are currently eating our lunch.

While we are only worried about making the rich richer, they've lifted 300 million people into the middle class in the last generation.

Yes and no. It depends on who's making the assessment:

The 4 Key Strengths of China’s Economy — and What They Mean for Multinational Companies

China’s hybrid “state capitalist” system, driven by centralized planning and fierce competition, has led to dominance in critical technological fields and emerging markets. Western multinational corporations are advised to adopt a pragmatic approach to capitalize on four key strengths of China’s...

China’s Economy Is in Deep Trouble

This week’s disappointing Chinese GDP numbers showed that Chinese economic growth has slowed to 4.75 percent from the very rapid annual economic growth rate during the 2010s. It should be viewed as confirmation that China's economic growth model is now well past its sell-by date.

American Enterprise Institute is the right wing assessment.

The Diplomat gives high marks to Biden's approach, and the success he's had in curbing Xi's worst tendencies.

The China Policy Gap Between Biden and Trump Is Bigger Than You Think

Rhetorically, the two presidential candidates hit many of the same notes. But in practice they have approached competition with China very differently.

thediplomat.com

Republicans continue to allow the Chinese to run away with green manufacturing. China now has 40% of the world market for climate change technology, while American Republicans deny the existence of man made climate change.

Big Oil has now convinced Republicans that conversion to green energy is a waste of money and won't help the situation. How do they think Elon Musk got to be the richest man on the planet? By designing and selling clean energy systems.

Why are Americans not wanting in on this???

 

[daveman]

I never said that.

But you supported Biden's reelection bid...until you were told to support Harris.

I'm just curious how long the transition took you. Did you hear an actual "click" inside your head?

Not as painful as this.............

Deflection.

 

[daveman]

This is a weird post, I have no idea what you are trying to say

He's saying we should believe everything the Media (peace be upon them) says.

 

[daveman]

The wind NEVER stops blowing. Air currents move the air around the planet and that movement never stops. The windmills are always moving because the air is always moving around the planet. The clouds floating in the sky are all moved by wind. That's why our weather changes every day.

The false information being fed to the Trump Cult on even the most basic scientific matters is truly shocking. That you continue to believe this shit is even more shocking.

Really? The wind's always blowing enough to keep generating power?

You need to tell that to the UK. Obviously they're doing something wrong.

What happens to wind power when there’s no wind?​

Solar and wind power jobs are projected to be some of the fastest growing in the United States, and in the United Kingdom, 15 percent of its power was supplied by wind turbines last year.

But what happens when calm weather and wind shortages cause wind turbines to come to a standstill?

This was the case recently in the UK, according to a report from the Daily Mail , and it’s causing a steep drop in the amount of power supplied by renewables.

A longer than usual “wind drought” due to high-pressure systems over the UK has drastically reduced the amount of power that wind turbines in the country currently supply.

Over the course of the last week, low winds have resulted in wind turbines generating less than two percent of the country’s power this month, the lowest amount of power supplied through wind energy in more than two years.

Unfortunately, the winds are not projected to pick up until later in June, the Daily Mail reports, and the low energy production calls into question the reliability of dependence on renewables.

This past weekend, only 1 to 2 percent of the UK’s power was supplied by wind turbines, however, when wind conditions were favorable earlier in March, that number jumped to over 30 percent.

A millisecond.

Did you hear an actual "click" inside your head?

A "click" might have occurred if Biden endorsed RFK Jr.

Deflection.

Is what you are doing, like your dear leader.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

He's saying we should believe everything the Media (peace be upon them) says.

Sure beats what your dear leader is says.
By a LONG shot.

Impressive. You adapted immediately to your new programming.

It's hilarious that you believe Biden had any choice about who he endorsed.

Is what you are doing, like your dear leader.

We both are. This thread's about Walz kissing Communist Chinese ass.

NO U is not the devastating response you believe it is.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

YES.

You need to tell that to the UK. Obviously they're doing something wrong.

What happens to wind power when there’s no wind?​

Pretty damned simple................it doesn't generate power.

Just like other power generating systems.

Nothing like Trump endorsing the Chinese leader and their communist rule.

You need to take off your rose-colored glasses regarding China. There are unbelievably wealthy and crushingly poor people in China. "Lifted out of poverty" is a relative measure.

 

[daveman]

YES.

Pretty damned simple................it doesn't generate power.

So, if the wind's always blowing enough to keep generating power, why does it stop generating power?

Take your time. I can tell you haven't given this any thought. At all.

Just like other power generating systems.

Not relevant. It would only be relevant if the source of energy stopped. Like if coal stopped burning and nuclei stopped being fissile.

Don't know. Don't much care. I place no value on Pence's endorsement.

For the record, I do not agree with Trump's praise of Xi.

Hey, respect all adversaries, fear none!

Our problem with China is that we don't understand China.

The real problem isn't communism vs. capitalism. We are far closer in economic systems than you think.

The real problem is technocracy vs. democracy. They promote people based on merit. We elect game show hosts who appeal to our worst instincts.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

So, if the wind's always blowing enough to keep generating power,

ALWAYS?
When did I state that?

why does it stop generating power?

WTF?
I just told you, DUMBASS.

Take your time. I can tell you haven't given this any thought. At all.

Not relevant. It would only be relevant if the source of energy stopped. Like if coal stopped burning and nuclei stopped being fissile.

YES, it is numbnuts.
Like I stated, if both power sources are compromised/stopped, they aren't creating energy to be used.
The sun creates trillions watts of potential "energy" but if it isn't captured and used it's worthless.
Even plants know this.
