"New York's iconic Empire State Building will light up red and yellow Wednesday in honor of the 60th anniversary of communist China."

WTF?

AFP: Empire State Building turns red-yellow for China's 60th

People can pay money for special events and light up the Empire State Building in custom colors.

Besides, China bought up most of our debt. Probably the least we can do.

Part of me hates the idea - communism and all (been to China, seen it IRL)
But heh, they own our butts, oddly enough.

I think it's actually pretty hilarious, in light of where China is going and where the US is going.

In many aspects, China is already embracing Market Economy and Capitalism more than the US these days.

You could say, they've seen the light.

Thank you, I'll be here all week!
