Don't worry, the free-traitors never actually have to be right about anything, they've got the theory of comparative advantage. If that fails, they can always try destroying the dollar, jobs, and standard of living to make us competitive.

"It's not the game which matters, but it's the skills you bring to it."

"The Coming Collapse of China," by Gordon Chang argues that submitting to WTO dooms China. One reviewer says of this "the shock of China's World Trade Organization (WTO) obligations, the government's lack of fiscal resources, the straitjacket of Communist Party ideology" and more all contribute to the end of the chi-coms' China.

I guess some overlooked the role of skills -- and our own useful idiots. IMO the WTO doesn't have the guts to enforce their rules on China or are their more mundane reasons like money changing hands?

Very good article. Generally I've found India journalism to be very good even in sensitive matters such as tech and other jobs flowing out of the U.S. to India.

Isn't free trade peachy bump.

If one actualy reads Riccardo and Adam Smith carefully then the Free Trade advcates do not even really have Riccardo's theory of comparative advantage on their side only a mis-stateent of it which ignores a part of it.
