In this thread: Cliche misinformation about China.
It's true that gaming consoles are banned in China, but they're easily purchasable on the bootleg market. Back in the day, somebody ported FF7 to the NES and it was a big hit.
China, the country that refuses to buy products that aren't made by them but expect the rest of the world to buy their half assed products :PNoodleFighter
China had a trade deficit just a few months ago. China's economy is not driven by exports; it's driven by domestic construction. Today, China's net exports only amount to 5 billion dollars.
you do know its not chinas govnment thats treating people like slaves right? its the evil company fox con thats so bad 14 people killed them selfs in 1 years from working there.dontshackzmii
Foxconn is one of the best places to work in China for 20-somethings. The reports about bad working conditions turned out to be exaggerated and 14 suicides is kinda small honestly when the company has over a million employees.

China lead the world in exports, they export over $1.8 trillion worth in goods, they are second in imports with over $1.7 trillion, giving them a trade surplus of $154,532,000,000. This was year 2011.

This was year 2011.Outdated. That's for the entire year. This is a very recent trend, starting in late 2011/early 2012 and correcting itself in early April. China is transitioning to domestic consumption.

I get you don't like what I said, but that doesn't make it not true.

You're looking at the figure for all of 2011. If you look at monthly net exports, China's net exports went way into negatives before recovering slightly in April. Exporting as much as you import does not make you an export economy. If China in 2012 qualifies as an export economy than so does the United States.
What you don't know from looking at annual statistics is that China's economy has been nose diving for the past few months. China has to import tremendous amounts of steel and other raw materials to fuel internal housing demand and with depressed demand in Europe the gap between imports and exports has gotten abnormally narrow.

I am not missing the point, I know that China's economic growth is heavily based on domestic consumption, but that China is also an increasing world economic force getting investment from all over the world. That domestic growth is causing outside investment. Of course those numbers don't show that China is a poor country and the GDP is only that large due to 1.4 billion people. Also the last time i checked China is growing at 8% per year. I would however like some sources from you.
[QUOTE="22Toothpicks"]The bigger revelation that comes from this article is the fact that game systems are banned in China. WHAT THE F*CK CHINAwis3boi
they have their own version of WoW too, that doesnt show corpses, bones, etc.
China has its own version of everything - and they're all chinese grinder MMOs. No one in China creates PC games unless they are are online-only because the copyright laws are lax and the piracy rate is so high.
You'll walk down the street and see street vendors similar to New York. Except instead of magizines, you see stands filled with pirated games.
Yeah! CT510 is a go, locked and loaded. Gonna be a wild muther fuking ride. Gonna offer a barn bursting amount of world class, high scoring exclusives. Pedal to the metal baby. Instant day 1 purchase.

The point is China imports about as much as it exports. That's all that matters to this thread. Its net exports are like one fifteenth of a percent of GDP. That's virtually balanced trade.
