      Never ever explain business by using morals or ethics. 1. Those things can not be measured, so can not be monitored or compared. 2. It is dangerous to use them in real business due to the previous reason. And if a business starts to use morals and ethics, the company has to keep using them like drugs. Google used to use them at the beginning. Huawei used them at some stage. And that was when I started to dislike those companies.

    Unlike US government, the Chinese government has an entire department of medical professionals and industry experts for the sole purpose of negotiating price on public purchases.

    My political and ideological course teacher told us that part of the reason for China's development can be explained to you. In the 1980s, the elite on Wall Street considered that if the U.S. military force could not protect the hegemony of the United States dollar in the world, it would choose a more acceptable way for people around the world to let China develop industrialization and produce more goods for the circulation of dollars around the world to ensure that the United States could carry out high profit industries and give up low profit industries, so most of the work was transferred to China, Japan, India, Mexico, Türkiye, the United States could go to the world to buy goods by printing a piece of paper from a money printing factory, and they would not have to produce in their own countries. But the reason why China has thousands of years of political and military experience is unlikely to become a banana republic

    As an American citizen, my view of what sickens America as a nation is the capitalist exorbitant profit for everything mentality by cooperations! Fleecing its citizens to a breaking point!
    Many Americans are taking a multitude of medication to deal with their stressful high cost life resulting from that, at my work place absentee from sickness is mind boggling and I know for a fact our medical system encourages that, many of my colleagues are on metabolic illness and depression/anxiety med. Nevermind our food system generates obese and diabetic citizens! Just FIX it with obesity and diabetes drugs, the sicker the nation, the more profits for our medical system! Quite a vicious cycle.

      @sinnieleeonUtube 8 місяців тому

      @@ShauhuaGu Yes. You get GOUT because there is too much uric acid in the body. You may be eating too much meat and even worse are soda and soft drinks. So you need to drink a lot of water to flush out the uric acid from your body through urination. I mean gallons of water. The more you drink the faster you recover. Also, you need to fast (not eat) because almost everything you eat has some uric acid in it. Therefore, a combination of drinking a lot of water and fasting will do the trick. Take some Tylenols can really help too.
      Read the directions as too how much you can take per day. As with any medication, taking too much will harm you rather than cure you. You will feel a lot better in a day or two BUT it will take about a week to where you can walk with a little limping. After two weeks, you should be back to somewhat normal. I'm speaking from my own experience. It gets to the point where putting a blanket on my big toe creates pain. It swells up and very sensitive to touching. You can read more about it at www.mayoclinic.org or www.webmd.com for medical background on it. Let me know if it helps.

      @@ShauhuaGu You get gout because you have too much uric acid in your body. This uric acid comes from the foods you eat, especially meat, soda and soft-drinks. This uric acid in turn will crystallize around your joints and cause them to swell up and give you a lot of pain. So in order for you to reduce this uric acid intake, you need to eat as little as possible or fast as much as you can and drink a lot of water to flush it out of your body through urination. I drank so much water that i used to go every 30 minutes or so. Within a day or two, your pain should reduced. You should feel minor pain within a week and recover in about two weeks.

    Why make when you can buy and re-sell at a profit ? This is human nature. Even Chinese companies were happy to buy US chips and re-sell them in products until the US cut-off the supply of Chips. Suddenly everyone in China agrees its better to make than to buy. Human nature is incredible, but that's what makes us human. Otherwise, we would just be algorithms. Also, that's why National leadership is so important -- to make the correct, long-term decisions.
