This is a ridiculous advertisement because China is a country that oppresses its own people and its only a matter of time before they reform and overthrow their communist leaders. Replies: 3

America will fall if it does not shift off the path it has chosen. Economic, moral, and political degradation have all contributed to the corrosion of our country's foundation, and it is only a matter of time before the pillars collapse...

It's more ridiculous to believe that an omnipresent government is going to suddenly crater for no stated reason.
The commercial wasn't banned, it's been shown countless times and has been out since before the election.

How can you "ban" a commercial in a nation with First Amendment protections?
Anyway, I like the commercial, and hopefully China will only become more capitalist as the decades progress. I'm no expert, but as China is on the ascent, I'm anxious to know how they will behave diplomatically and militarily once they attain true superpower status.
moral, and political degradation
No worse than they had been. Would you rather go back to the time when men could beat their wives, child labor was rampant, and slavery was institutionalized? Or when politicians who didn't agree shot one another?

Msg #7: On 2/8/2011 at 3:47:41 PM, Monkipzzle replied, saying: It was banned according to the website I first found it on. I had not seen it before, so I didn't question it. Honest mistake, sorry.
