That’s why China in Walmart is unionized.....buy the communist party. That’s why Google and Yahoo has had to assist China in stamping out free speech on their internet. That’s why the PLA is embedded in so many of the high tech US-China partnerships. That’s why products by Chinese companies pop up all the time using stolen, bribed for, or reversed engineered patented technology and designs? That’s why they have the most aggressive corporate espionage system in the world?
You read about those successes in starbucks and Cat in selling to the chicoms, yet why don’t you mention that the trade deficit with China this past year grew another 11% to an all time high near $300 BILLION. Profits that are not just in the pockets of chinese businessmen, but the communist government, who is purhcasing, stealing and bribing for the most sophisticated military technologies on the planet.
It's just another location for these companies.
Yes the Chinese GOVERNMENT is doing a lot of bad things but so is the U.S. Government. What many are doing by cutting down trade with China is punishing private Chinese and American companies that operate in China that are providing many products we need.
You should draw a distinction between the Chinese government and private companies. There are some private companies in China that produce high quality, safe products at a low price and still follow all U.S. laws.
