China sucks.
That would be WORSE for U.S.. China will continue to thrive. The U.S. is not the only country it serves.
Sorry, but this is totally wrong. Are you Chinese?
As goes the US, so goes the rest of the world, and that includes China, as well.
The original poster was correct. - debt is a two edged weapon.
It cuts both ways.
Oh, come on. - Everyone knows that is Global warming ;^)
Starting around the middle of this decade, China’s cheap currency led it to run a massive trade surplus. The earnings from that surplus poured into the United States. The result was the mortgage bubble.
That is such a bogus line of reasoning. There was nothing that the Chinese did that led to the mortgage bubble because of cheap currency. It was only from people in the US running after homes that did this.
I guess you also missed the dog food, dog jerky and poisoned milk scandal,and poisoned toys which are recalled constantly. Also, they use formaldehyde in manufacturing flame retardant sleepwear...outlawed in this country for years. China also uses child labor...not long ago children who failed to meet their quota were buried alive...some lived.
If you would like to be an idiot, that is your choice.
China has different laws than the U.S.. When they manufacture for the U.S. it is up to the U.S. to make sure their standards match ours. When the U.S. manufacturers do NOT do this is when you have problems - such as lead in paint. It is the fault of the U.S. manufacturers for NOT specifying they don’t want lead in the paint.
“China also uses child labor...not long ago children who failed to meet their quota were buried alive...some lived.”
So did the U.S. till our laws changed that.
In case you didn’t know, childrend were not “buried alive” if they “did not meet their quota”. I don’t know what wingnut website you got that from but it’s lunacy.
As China moves away from being impoversihed they MAY adopt similar laws that we have but that s their CHOICE. These kids are from impoverished families. They are still a poor country. Through these jobs families are climbing out of poverty and the “one child policy” is being lifted where there is work and people can sustain themselves.
You are truly clueless. You don’t understand China or capitalism. I can only hope there are not too many like you out there ... . Very sad ... .
I can’t waste more time on someone like you.
There are four US inspectors in China...get real. Sorry, Americans should not compete with a country that engages in such practices...no way no how. China is using their American dollars to attain weapons...they are a communist country-very dangerous. They will never be a friend to the US...always a foe...we should not enrich them. The pollution and the poor manufacturing standards in terms of safety are very dangerous to consumers.
