Maybe China deserved it

China has stepped up its criticism of a proposed U.S. law that would punish countries with artificially low currencies, saying there would be negative repercussions for both countries if it is passed. Bollocks to that. China should be punished, not because of the greenback-renminbi exchange rate, the fact that not all traffic on PRC-controlled territory drives on the same side of the road (this is also true in the US, where the US Virgin Islands has traffic on the left), or even their alphabet with thousands of letters. They should instead be punished over their stupid claims about being the sole legitimate government over all of China. They are using their ill-gotten power to bring Taiwan down, e.g., Taiwan has to compete under the name Chinese Taipei in several international sporting competitions, and Taiwan's entrants in the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants have to enter as Miss Chinese Taipei instead of Miss Taiwan; and if somebody doesn't start giving that overpopulated commie wasteland a good Arab Spring cleaning, then the Communist Party will just keep acting like stupid douchebags.
