And that is why the feds need to put a great big whopping tarrif on these goods. You will soon see Americans companies start up to fill the market needs. I would really like to see that outside of NAFTA we do not need to import one single thing. sure we shpuld allow imports into the country but to make it a level playing field the tax applied to these goods should be equal to the difference in costs of producing them. In other words if the Chinese want to sell their goods tax free here than they have to pay their employees the same as ours and live up to the same regulations that our companies have to.
Well, for the most part it is American companies that order the stuff there. It is not so much the Chinese who want to sell their stuff in the US, it is Western and Japanese companies that for profits' sake produce in China.
The problem with the US is that US-made products are either of mediocre quality themselves or of high quality, yet not affordable to most people.
And one of the reasons many Chinese products are crap is that most Chinese are very little loyal towards their employers, they don't like their jobs and thus hop from one company to the next as soon as they get a better offer. And who can blame them, I would not want to work at Foxconn and build iPxds the whole day long, either. And that's even one of the better companies, there are many that are worse.
There is absolutely nothing interesting about this at all. I believe the last estimates are .40 to .50 cents of each and every tax dollar, go to the interest on our national debt. China is owed most of that debt.
Learn Mandarine and Cantonese...Its the wave of the future.
Would this be learn or be forced?? Kind of strange Americans are being asked to change their official language, in their own country.
first Spanish and now.................
Of course not within the US
But even globally speaking, I would never learn any Chinese language, they don't sound nice to my ear to put it mildly, nor am I interested in Chinese culture or anything else Chinese. Would just not be worth the effort, most young and international Chinese people such as businessmen or engineers speak English anyway, and increasingly so.
They already have polluted half their ground water in China and just today there was a report another million people in China lost their drinking water.
.
That ground water will eventually/possibly has already, polluted the food we feed our pets. Ingredients from China can be legally (per. FDA) be left off pet food labels. Truth about Pet Food website gives pertinent information regarding Chinas ability ,aided by greedy U.S. corporations, to keep you from making informed choices for the health and life of you pets.
I don't know how to post links yet, I'm new to the whole forum thing. Started posting after my cat died, guess how.
One-child policy or not, there are simply too many Chinese living in a relatively small area, basically the Eastern half of the country, the Western half is sparsely populated for the time being.

I'm sorry about the loss of your cat. But the ingredients are on the package, in other words read them. I have show dogs, and I spend a lot of money on food.....it's worth it.

Oh good you had me thinking......push 3 for Chinese
The only thing that I see here,when a culture takes over another culture, they destroy all that, that culture represents.
Can't believe, that America could actually become, an Asian Country.
Thanks to the trillions of dollars that the Chinese have made flooding our shores with cheap products, China is now in a position of tremendous economic power. So what is China going to do with all of that money? One thing that they have decided to do is to buy up pieces of the United States and set up "special economic zones" inside our country.
After I saw 'Alex Jones' in there, I called shenanigans.
