China Escalates Its War on American Tech Firms

U.S. technology firms have often found China a tough market. Microsoft has struggled with widespread software piracy. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are all blocked by Chinese censors. That costs the American Internet giants untold numbers of potential customers. Now, in the wake of Washington’s charges against five Chinese military officials for cyberspying, a riled Beijing has intensified its criticism of U.S. tech businesses.

Um, China?

You sold America 440 billion of goods last year.

You only bought 122 billion. You run a trade surplus with America of over 300 billion dollars last year.

What are you talking about?

That's okay, because apparently most republicans and conservatives (judging by responses here on FR) would rather side up with the communist chinese, and loot the US economy, than have to deal with the eeevil unions, or put a stop to the communists in their own backyard. There's a reason why the wealthiest people in the US are diehard leftists: it's because they recognize opportunity in fascism, and chance to enrich themselves while using the government to crush any competition.

IMHO, if you deal with communist nations, I consider you to be a communist, and the enabler and supporter of the obama government that you supposedly despise, but in reality finance and encourage.

I have to say, we do seem to have a very real problem with supporting American jobs.

For real.

That needs to change. Bigtime. China is about to become the biggest manufacturer on the entire planet, yet our side still seems to be building them up.

Very, very disappointing. Thanks for posting.
