1. Isn't one of the main tenets of "conservatism" that change happens slowly, and traditional institutions are maintained? Are conservatives actually communist?
2. China has modernized as rapidly as any country could. For many reasons, a centrally planned economy can modernize faster than a market oriented one. Once the economy's foundation has been laid, though, a transition should be made to maintain growth. North Korea (which actually had a higher per capita GDP than South Korea until the early 1970s), say, did not make that transition. China did.
See, but the thing is they don't. You have no idea what you're talking about. They make a SMALL amount of games with US audiences. 90% of the games and almost all of other media (music, movies, anime, manga) are made with japan as a primary focus.Quote:

A hypothetical country with a trillion people barely making ends meet would have a higher GDP than America, but would be unable to purchase any of our luxury goods, such as culture. I am not entirely sure this is the case with China, but their purchasing situation is considerably different than ours.
I didn't say all of it was. I was pointing out that they sometimes do.Quote:

The series garnered positive fan response internationally that resulted in a second season co-produced by Cartoon Network, Sunrise, and Bandai Visual. Season two premiered on Japan's SUN-TV on January 2003, with the American premiere taking place seven months later in the Adult Swim lineup.[7][9]
Umm, the second season got picked up for funding because of the US market (funding given by the US company), but that show was not produced with the US market in mind.
so, the second season was made because of demand from the US and it had input from Americans, BUT it was not produced with the US market in mind?Quote:
The second season was scripted by Chiaki Konaka with input from the American producers.[
