Well, we don't make anything here anyway, so what are they going to buy?


May I suggest that they buy our narcotics?

No need. They can buy our debt instruments in order to keep their currencies down. Thus our money flows out of the country to buy cheap trinkets, whereas their profits purchase US debt instruments (to subsidize our profligate congress) that WE are obligated to pay. It's a win, win situation for them, whereas it's a lose, lose situation for us (because we pay twice!)--GGG
