Chinese Workers Hail Romney’s Record as Job Creator
Mass Pro-Romney Rally in Beijing

BEIJING (The Borowitz Report) – After a brutal week in which he was booed by the NAACP and grilled by the media, Republican presidential choice Mitt Romney got some support from an unlikely place today: Beijing.

Manufacturing workers from across China flooded downtown Beijing to show their gratitude for Mr. Romney’s robust record of job creation in China while at the helm of the private equity firm Bain Capital.

While Mr. Romney’s feats of outsourcing have taken a political toll at home, they have made him a national hero in China, according to workers like Qiu Huang, who attended the rally.

“I owe my job to Mitt Romney, and so do many of my friends and family members,” he said. “His record as a job creator, in China at least, is second to none.”

Mr. Qiu said that if Mr. Romney ran for President of China, “he’d win in a landslide – he wouldn’t even need those billionaire brothers to buy ads for him.”

But the Chinese worker was surprised to learn that Mr. Romney had spent the better part of the week denying that he still worked at Bain during the company’s frenzy of outsourcing jobs to China.

“Why would you deny doing a great thing like that?” he asked. “That would be like denying you gave people healthcare.”

Edward Conard, former Bain Capital partner, appeared on MSNBC this morning and defended Mitt Romney's assertion that he left Bain Capital in 1999...if anything, Conard did Romney more harm than good; he said he probably could not produce Bain docs to prove what Romney asserts is correct. Conard, like Romney, grew up in the Detroit area of Michigan, attended Harvard U, and like Romney holds the view that offshoring U.S. jobs is an economic necessity.
