China pirates self

In an astonishing blow to the country's economy, China has managed to duplicate itself in the Communist state's most recent piracy spree.

China(2), as experts are now calling it, will be placed on the country's Desktop until room can be made in the State External Hard Drive (Taiwan). However, Taiwan is not ready to store the pirated nation until China agrees to a deal in which their service is exchanged for humanitarian respect. Because Taiwan expects something in return for their work, Chinese correspondents report that the separated nation runs a serious risk of looking like Metallica for taking such a "Lars Ulrichy" stance on piracy, declaring them, quote, "Big whiny pussies."

Paradoxically, when China(2) was downloaded illegally off the Internet, the Chinese "Hong Kong's-Disney Land Is-Too-Far-So-Bring-Your-Family-To-This-Amusement-Park-Instead" knockoff became an officially licensed Walt Disney World, complete with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, as well as other public domain stories and characters for which copyrights have been hijacked and redeployed for profits.

Also, scientists say that due to the lossy compression method of the recently downloaded China(2), its lead content has nearly halved, and the new country's methods of corruption are already effecting the integrity of the Communist State's underlying systems of internal exchange.

"One can watch as [the document] collapses in on itself before the eyes," said Chinese(2) correspondent Jack Danielson. "In a vacuum, China(2) can not stand up to its own self-annihilation. The isolated economy of China(2) seems to have backwashed on itself and the citizens appear to be resorting to Capitalism as a means of survival. It is unprecedented."

China is available for download on Apple's iTunes for US $.99 and a nominal sign-up fee. The paid, legal copy comes fully stocked with connections to North Korea and Russia, and unlike its pirated counterpart, poisons babies with formula replaced by authentic Chinese cleaning powders.
