Question about that Chinese factory Rumney toured that had barbed wire around it.....

[Gin]

Why was he there? Did he do business with them? nobody asked him that.....if they did, I never heard it.

if he did use that factory...it would have been a good ad showing how he does business. IMHO


I know the election is over....but this was in my head since I saw the story or ad.

1. Great question

one visit was ostensibly for the Olympics, but he got the chance to develop a great love of the Chinese way of doing things.

Look at the way he talks, a passion that is surprising coming from Mitt. Imo it sounds a lot more sincere than when he talks about his love of America:

"I got the chance after I lost to John McCain last time, to go over to --
that was the good part of losing -- I got to go to the Olympic Games in
China. It's pretty impressive over there how quickly they can build
things, how productive they are as a society. You should see their
airport compared to our airports, their highways, their train systems.
They're moving quickly in part because the regulators see their job as
encouraging private people. It's amazing. The head of Coca-Cola said the
business environment is friendlier in China than in America. And that's
because of the regulators. That's because of government."
