Is china a necessary Evil?

    Is Chins a necessary evil for the United States? Most would say that it is isn't, but if think about it, it is. Look at the "Made in" stamp on almost any toy in America, it will most likely say "Made in China". This is because it is easier to got people in China to work for less money because China's economy is so bad due to Communism. Communism brings the promise of equality to all civilians of that Nation, in this case, China. If it weren't for American aid, China would have fallen and given way to a new government years ago, just like all the other countries that were declared as Communist Nations, (examples, United Soviet Socialist Republic ((U.S.S.R.)), Belarus, Vietnam, Korea). Yes, if it were not for America, China's economy would be failing, but the same could be said in reverse. America needs China for it's economy or it too, would fail and it could suffer another depression. The co-operation and success of this partnership is do to China's induction into the United Nations. Before that, China had just opened up to the world for the first time in centuries, and America wanted nothing to do with it. This changed when China started setting up trade and travel routes with other countries. This is when America saw an opening for a wealthier tomorrow. Chinese were willing to work in factories for less then one US dollar an hour. This would save the United States government money because they could evade the "Minimum Wage" law of it's country. Because of this, every US dollar that the United States government spends, 40 cents of it goes to China instead of about $1.12 going to a European country such as England. Without China and America's mutual relationship, Americans would not have many of the luxuries they have today. But this relationship also has a downside for both countries.

In America, unemployment is at an all time high. Many families are on the border line of poverty and thous that aren't are seeing that prices of everything are going up.

In China, many children are forced to drop out of school to work in factories to help earn extra money for their families. Child labor is not illegal in China like it is in America. Many people die or become gravely ill in factories because of dangerous machines and air born particles going in their lungs.

The question I was asked to answer was "Is China a necessary evil?". My answer to that question is, it's up to the person who is thinking about it. If you don't think that it is, that's ok, but try living in a world were you don't have China, see what things would be different. And those that think it is, you are probably right, but as i said, It's up to the person thinking about it. Opinion is everything.
