Maybe they'll cut us off from all their Wal Mart junk.

As we shift a large part of our manufacturing base to China, China will one day use Richard Nixon's famous policy................

"When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds soon follow!"

Maybe they'll cut us off from all their Wal Mart junk.

Of course, that's a two-way street. Who are they going to sell all that junk to, if not us? Imagine the political instability in China with its GNP in a tailspin, shuttered factories, and massive unemployment.

Thanks to globalist trade policies, we're far more dependent on China than they are on us.

 U.S. Trade with China 
(billion dollars)

Year	1991	1992	1993	1994	1995	1996	1997	1998	1999	2000	2001	2002	2003
U.S. Imports	19.0	25.7	31.5	38.8	45.5	51.5	62.6	71.2	81.8	100.1	102.3	125.1	152.4
U.S. Exports	6.3	7.4	8.8	9.3	11.7	12.0	12.9	14.2	13.1	16.3	19.2	22.0	28.4
Trade Deficit	12.7	18.3	22.7	29.5	33.8	39.5	49.7	56.9	68.7	83.8	83.1	103.1	124.0

As a result, China is in an economic position to dictate our foreign policy.
If we don't comply, all they have to do is cut-off their exports to us and divert their production to their own use. This would leave our economy in a shambles without disrupting their own in the leas.

Yes, Bush IS responsible for promoting this dependence.

No loss, I've never been in a WalMart.

I don't think they're that serious.
