Shanghai port drivers on strike

[simon says]

Third day of Shanghai strike threatens China exports | Reuters

Seems Chinese drivers have some cahones...
Striking over rising fuel prices and diminishing take home pay.
This could easily spread under conditions of rising inflation...Who says truck drivers will never take action?

I don't know about that. I would think they are practicing their ideology rather well - it is all about the workers.

Sorry greg, but I have to ask, are you being sincere or sarcastic in what you are saying? Or maybe something else? If so, care to expound?

Well I don't know about that.

Yes I'm being sarcastic and sincere and just don't care.

SO I will explain what I'm saying.

The Communist Chinese seem to hold to the communist ideology. The workers strike, as they did in other communist countries at different times so there isn't much reasoning behind it. The communist Chinese government controls the fuel prices, controls the housing prices and controls wages, so they can fix the problem quickly, but like their Soviet counterparts who also struck at different times in their history, it may be a show put on for the world to get the "human rights" people to look back at us.

AND to answer Simon's question about trucking, we are too lazy to do that.

Alrighty then.
