individuals freely buying and selling

The chicom machine is not an individual. It is an implacable enemy of our survival.

with the trade partner of their own choosing?

Choosing? Choosing? Show us the Wal-Mart with US-Only products. There is no choice. There is a defacto monopoly.

And your love of markets seems to be rather oblivious to their actual absence. To wit: if the Chicom currency, instead of being subsidized and manipulated from Beijing, was forced to be "on the market" [at whose feet certain phoney FReepers worship at]...then let's see what happens.

In reality, The consumer doesn't get the choice. The Chicoms and their Quisling accomplices have made the choice for American consumers...by coopting the entire "market". The whole thing is governmentally manipulated from China.

Yes "choosing choosing"! Is anyone putting a gun to your head and throwing you into an arm-bar to get you into Wal-Mart? No? Oh, so you choose to shop there, right?

In reality, The consumer doesn't get the choice.

Really? I'm still waiting for evidence of the armed encounter that forced you to shop at Wal-Mart. Until you provide such proof, you are still choosing to shop there.

You may well--and do seem to--think such a choice is a bad one, but it's a choice nonetheless.

Just as I teach my teenagers, bad consequences are not equal to an absence of choice. There may well be bad consequences associated with choosing to buy Chinese-made goods, but that is not the same thing as "no choice".

News of problems with Chinese-made goods has had the entirely predictable results of decreasing demand for those goods. This was all accomplished with no government mandate. The market did it.

The Chicoms and their Quisling accomplices have made the choice for American consumers...by coopting the entire "market". The whole thing is governmentally manipulated from China.

Racist ranting and possible-future-war fear-mongering aside, why shouldn't China be able to sell their goods in the USA? What's the real harm, other than unwelcome low-priced competition?
