China, Technology, and The U.S. Middle Class by Chrystina Freeland

The decline of the middle class is not only an economic issue, but it is also a political problem. 

David Autor, a MIT professor, encouraged the polarization of the social hierarchy between high and low classes. The middle class is dynamically declined. He also pointed out the feeble employment growth suddenly became crippled around 2001 and 2002.

In the major change in the U.S, technology and market are significant to explain the issue of the loss of middle classes. The technology played a very important role of a frontier of global market. However the domestic local market passed through a different path from the growing global economy. Ironically technology made a massive decline of the middle class in order to strengthen the global economy.

China was another huge impact of the loss of domestic local economy and U.S middle classes. U.S-China trade or free trade is not a great opportunity for the U.S as only giant global corporations can benefit from the global market. As the result, the middle class jobs were hollowed out in the U.S employment system even if there are an abundance of foodservice and finance in the lower class but not in the middle class.


Exporting the middle class job into China creates the large quantity of productivity which contribute the excellent income statement to stakeholders but it directly creates an unexpected economic hollow of the lost middle class jobs.

Maekawa Failed showing the evidence

The former governor of Ehime, Moriyuki Kado, gave unsworn testimony to adjournment inspection at the Lower House Budget Committee on Jul 24. He explained a reasonable procedure of the issue of the lack of veterinary schools. Maekawa finally opened his mouth that he did not receive the order to help Kakei School from both Office of Prime Minister and Cabinet Office. Maekawa’s grounds had no real evidence. “I would like to prove that the Prime Minister was falsely accused of this issue.” Kado declared it to the Minister of Defense, Itunori Onodera, the member of the Liberal Democratic Party. The former governor pointed out the mainstream media’s criticism is a simply false because he used to solve the issue for 10 years. Although in order to beat the infectious disease in farm animals down, he has requested to establish a veterinary school in the special zones for structural reform with the governors of Imabari City 15 times since 2007. Every his request has been denied. Ka...

Food Journal Warns a fake Italian Tomato.

Although I don't want to blame on the Chinese because I have many Chinese American friends, I should warn on the website that many productions hide addressing their original manufacture in order to pretend to show the brand named location for their profitability. Many EU countries has the pride to produce their high qualified food production from their highly maintained land and cultural virtue. But, their reputation would be broken by a fake marked imported production of a certain country. They should show where exactly they got the raw materials for their customers and own credibility. According to an article, many tomato production, such as processed products, cans, etc., labeled, "made in Italy," on the production, but they use imported Chinese tomatoes and finalize the products at the factories in Italy. But, unfortunately, the low-qualified raw materials imported from China never prove their food quality at the market, even if finalized products has a particular ban...

The Government finally moves on the issue.

I found the website on the Japanese ministry of the foreign affair claims its apparent territorial island and warns the continuous invasion and illegal domination caused by Korea. Although Japan's dominating political party has many scandals whose leader, Naoto Kan, has a clearly deep political connection with both Koreas, having the conspiracy to betray the Japanese. In addition, U.S, U.K, and E.U finally agreed to remain officially the Japanese territorial sea, called the Sea of Japan, which Korea urgently screamed and lobbied at the governmental buildings over the world, such as the White house, U.N office, etc. But Korea's selfish clam against the oceanic territorial issue ended up with none.
