A good part of the problem that exists today with North Korea is the fault of China, yet no where do you hear condemnation of China's policies? They are clearly responsible for supporting and fostering a rouge nation who now threatens world peace and yet there is no condemnation of their policies. Daily we here how China is will be the worlds next Superpower and we must ask ourselves why we as China's largest trading partner have aided and abetted this. Chinas foreign policies or lack thereof have shown they are not ready to be a leader in world politics. As we watch the Korean conflict escalate, we must recognize our own responsibility in this situation by allowing ourselves to be seduced by Chinas low cost imports. We are in large part responsible for China's rise in world standing, and we will have to live with the consequences. We should however realize that every time we purchase Chinese made goods, we do it at our own peril.

Because dumb ass Americans love shopping a Walmart. The Chinese are telling their people to buy Chinese made goods and are practicing blatant protectionism on many levels, but Americans will slit your throat if you take away their Walmarts. The Chinese will own this country.

Good point. There is no outrage because we owe them a lot of money.

Money talks, it always has.
