If that thing was truly built in China, it is probably as crappy as everything I have that is Chinese made. I give it a lifespan of two weeks of sub par quality use!

It is time to hit China hard. Remove ourselves from the WTO & make the rest of the World beg to enter our market. As well as PAY for the privilege.

It is high time our tariff system reflected the costs associated with the expense the U.S. tax payer expends on keeping the sea lanes open & free!

Um. I appreciate your patriotism, however you need to realize that you are just parroting common misconceptions about China. The Chinese rover has been up in China since 2013. It's still broadcasting away, year after year.

Yutu (Chinese : 玉兔 ; pinyin : Yùtù ; literally: " Jade Rabbit ") is an unmanned lunar rover that formed part of the Chinese Chang'e 3 mission to the Moon. It was launched at 17:30 UTC on 1 December 2013, and reached the Moon's surface on 14 December 2013.

I don't blame you. Your only exposure is to Chinese products sold in Walmart. You never stop to think that the Toshiba laptops, Porsche automobile engines, iPhones and Jet engines on the 777's are all made in China. It's not like the mainstream news media helps, either. The concept of what China is is terribly distorted.

One of the GREATEST achievements of mankind (not peoplekind) was when AMERICA put men (not women, transgenders, or foreign nationals) on the Moon! One of the greatest follies of America has been the abandonment of this effort "for the children" by all subsequent presidents.

I have some blog posts on these subjects, that I am going to shamelessly promote. You can read them and get a healthy dose of propaganda if you wish...

Top Ten Misconceptions that Americans have about China

In which I argue that many times our angst and anger about the things that are wrong in the United States is misplaced. The oligarchy utilizes the media that they own, to divide us and to redirect our justifiable anger against other targets. Meanwhile they can go on living their cushy life at our expense. It's kind of brutal reading, I am afraid.

China is not the "boogie man" that many people think it is. The real criminals are those that control our nation. we really need to get back to our roots and go back to following the United States Constitution AS IT WAS WRITTEN.
