if U.S. got into a war with China would you eat in Chinese restaurants? (nativist, speech)

[Ron61]

Believe me, were we to go to war with China one of the very last things you would be concerned about would be whether or not we would eat Chinese food. This post is a clear example of why people who have never been in war should not be discussing it. Unbelievable.

First--Yes, they are American citizens running a Restaurant or at least have a permanent resident card.

Second--every two months or so I order Carry out Chinese food---no, I would not give up on them cooking my dinner!!!

ANYONE getting in a 'war' with China would likely be 'EMP'd into the stone-age' within less than 24hrs after the first bomb/missile was fired...therefore it is ALSO likely that NOBODY would have basic services (gas, electric, water) available to COOK the food, to say LESS whether or not one would even have the ability to start thier car and DRIVE to a Chinese restaurant.


EMP (Electro-Magnetic-Pulse) has the ability to knock out EVERYTHING, so unless you just happen to have some La Choy (canned) chinese-food in your pantry, a hand-cranked can-opener and a sterno (or wood-fired) stove handy...you probably won't be eating any Chinese food either.


See how 'tricky' it is, living in the 'modern-age', trapped like a 'rat in a maze' in a Metro-Suburban environment ?

I don't eat Chinese food and don't eat at Chinese restaurants now so why would that change?

The worst scenario would be an attempt on their part to contaminate ones food. I enjoy Chinese food but I think that if there was a war between us and them that I would think twice before eating in a Chinese restaurant.

Does the fact that many of the Chinese citizens in this country are seventh and eighth generation Americans play any role in your thinking? How about the fact that China does not own American Chinese restaurants?

Well, OP let me ask you this: if US got into a war with China, would you stop ...
- going to AMC movie
- sleeping in Waldorf-Astoria, or Blackstone hotels
- eating Smithfield foods
- using GE products
- buying Motorola phones and other Chinese made gadgets
- boycott all products made in China?

Remember FREEDOM FRIES?

And we weren't even at war with France.

The stuff they sell as "Chinese" here in the United States bears very little resemblance to "real" Chinese food.

Unless we'd heard of a mass poisoning of patrons by Chinese restaurant owners and workers, my hubby and I would continue enjoying their food and establishments.
