Next time you get out your compass to go watch fireworks or fly your kite in your silk pyjamas, tip your hat to the Chinese.
Oh yes, where would we be without the kite? Last time I flew one I was 12 years old.
I've never owned anything made out of silk, for that matter.

Keep it current, that's what started this thread, about how wonderful China is today.
China today is falling apart, new buildings are collapsing, cars/buses/trains are blowing up, street explosions are common from gas/electricl problems, the food is fake/poisonous/painted to look fresh, young people are falling over and their bones are so brittle from the garbage they ...[text shortened]... complete nonsense.....how bad does it have to get for you to stop bragging about how great China is?
Most of the problems you list about China, food safety and environment, are problems that also exist in the USA except we had somewhat strict regulations to limit issues. These regulations are currently being dismantled by the trump regime in search for higher corporate profits.

Why does, although the % is slowly dropping, still buy 60% of it’s products from China but not silk accoutrements?🤔

No matter what the subject, you always fall back on "Trump is bad", so I win.
We were talking about China.

It doesn't matter in the slightest what thread OP is about, you will deny, deny, deny any criminality of Trump.
