I do know that commodities like portland cement and metals have gone up in price because China is using so much of these items in their construction projects.

It's having an effect-- concrete pours have been delayed for weeks now, locally.

It was a mistake to engage them economically from the beginning. From MFN status to the HongKong handover, stupid mistakes. We should have taken a stance of economic aggression against the Communists. They probably would have fallen by now, with an emerging free market.

Mistakes? - not by Rockefeller. Everything was done on purpose.

As FM1 indicates, ain't nuthin' happens by accident.
