Well, if we are going to skip the hanlin readers just because its made by a Chinese company in China, then heck, you can start throwing out most of the notebooks we use, 'cos a good lot of them, if not their parts are from China. Most if not all the products in Walmart come from China. This Averatec notebook I bought in US is from China. The US government is ordering a whole suite of lenovo notebooks form China. Are they in cahoots with communism now? :gasp:

IBM Thinkpads were made by lenovo for awhile before Lenovo bought over it. So IBM is a communism extension as well?

Gosh. How much more paranoid can we get?

Get a gripe on reality. The cold war ended. Long time ago. The Chinese government, like any other governments in the whole whole, including the republicans and democrats in US, all want to stay in power. Whether they are doing it honestly believing that they are doing their best for their country or for their self-interest is a different thing altogether.

Sure, communism do not have a good name, and was responsible for quite a bit of harm over the couple of decades, but the last I check, its a Republican President who declared war on a country over WMD only to admit later that they were unsure or that there were no WMDs. So who's the bad guy really?

Let's focus on the various ereaders for their own technological merits and suitability as an ereader rather than some far-fetched complicated implications. Peace.
