In China they've got a word for what guys like this are doing: 离岸爱国主义. "Offshore nationalism."
Lots of people when they come from mainland China to the US, (and I'm not saying all of them, usually this type are either nouveau riche or second-generation-rich Communist Party scions,) they're shocked to discover that their whole body being covered with Gucci and Dolce and Gabbana logos alone is not enough to get treated like gentry over stateside. Sometimes, they even have to pump their own gas at filling stations and bus their own table at restaurants. And people give them dirty looks and tell them to put out their cigarettes indoors and pick up the litter they're throwing everywhere. It's shocking for this group of elites.
So, they're desperate to find a new way to fuel their sense of superiority, and becoming redder than red is a pretty easy way to do that. By embracing the Party's propaganda about the foolish depredations of Americans and the immutable primacy of Chinese. And, as with all people seeking affirmation, they repeat those lines and seek attention as much as possible, via all the channels they know.

So a POS is a POS no matter the wrapping paper.
Great video, these type of videos are so important. Brainwashed Americans are trapped in a fantasy where foreign interests don't even exist.
Any more background on this. What's the Shenzhenw forum? Was this covered elsewhere...Oct 16 is a long time ago?
