According to an Associated Press story posted on Yahoo News, some Chinese workers revolted over a two minute toilet break rule. About 1000 workers at Shanghai Shinmel Electric Company held the managers, ten Japanese nationals and eight Chinese captive on Friday and Saturday.
The workers were upset because of rules limiting bathroom breaks to two minutes and a fine for the first offense of being late to work and dismissal for the second. The managers were freed after police intervened and they agreed to reconsider the rules.
In other news, WND reports China now owns U.S. energy resources. The state-owned Chinese energy giant CNOOC bought a multi-million dollar stake in 600,000 acres of South Texas oil and gas fields in 2009. This is a reversal of the Bush administration policy of not allowing China to have equity interest in U.S. energy production. The Bush administration blocked China on grounds of national security.
Since the initial purchase CNOOC and Sinopec, another Chinese company, now have holdings in Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. And, by Canada’s permission, China now owns Nexen oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico in U.S. waters.
Aren’t we still importing over 60% of our oil? Looks likes China is buying up all our resources so we will have to continue to be at the mercy of middle eastern oil.
Looks like those shorter potty breaks may be on the way to the U.S. when the Chinese finally control all the resources.
You may want to practice two minute breaks.
