Wal-Mart in China Review

"A very American capitalism" indeed! This report is not as blatantly anti-Wal-Mart as I would like, although the pre-morning pro-Wal-Mart chanting is really disturbing. The "associates" are made to seem like controled automotons. TO be honest the new Chinese Wal-Mart chants remind me of how the CCP took folk songs about how hard life can be and transformed them into pro-Mao, pro-Communist hymns that shared little but the tune with their predecessors. For Wal-Mart coverage more to my taste, check out Frontline's "Is Wal-Mart Good for America" or The Daily Show's Ed Helm's "Wal-Mart Under Fire"
I appreciate the sentiment of the commentator, but pro-American points of view do not coincide with supporting Wal-Mart.
