Chinese officials were accumulating Treasury debt in nominee accounts--in other words, secretly--while selling such debt in accounts that are publicly tracked.

LOL!  Just yesterday (here) we were wondering how China was going to unload T-bills.   Now we find out they're dumping them on themselves!

I want to build up American corps that hire Americans here in the country so the money stays here - same idea as drilling our own oil and not sending the money overseas. Same concept.

China makes some decent stuff and they also make millions of tons of junk. They produce irresponsibly with heavy pollution and toxic chemicals in the products. I’m sure you’re aware of the lead in the paint, melamine in the pet food ingredients and the many other examples of contamination. Food stuffs they produce are especially suspect. Their heavy production also creates a great demand for energy which drives up global oil and energy prices. They’re using our money to build up their military arsenal which they may well turn on us one day. This is all above and beyond our jobs and economic issues I already pointed to.

Why the hell are we feeding this beast?
