I've had enough of their whining.LOL! If the shoe fits...wear it.
See Teldon? You didn't need to name names. Just float the balloon...and wammmo! They literally can't help themselves. They just have to weigh in with some brazen anti-American crap.

For the most part, "Free Trade" means that nations like China tell us "We want to sell our stuff in the USA for free." And that's where the "Free" ends. It's always lopsided, and it's always to our disadvantage.Precisely right. I would add as a caveat that True free trade requires reciprocal terms not just of freedoms...but of burdens. Anything else is a war on the U.S. middle class. Our society winds up punishing and destroying its own production (which is taxed, regulated and confiscated) ...all to subsidize the relatively untaxed, unregulated, communist-dictatorship foreign society's industrialization and exports. Which even gets away with brazenly subsidizing the exports to steal still more industry.
And we have the phoney free traders...a small band right here.... cheering on those foreign subsidies...as personal benefits to themselves.
I don't think they are just talking, either.

uh...did you mean to respond to other dude? I'm in agreement that Shanghai is just the lipstick on the pig that is communist china.
Potemkin villages were, purportedly, fake settlements erected at the direction of Russian minister Grigori Aleksandrovich Potemkin to fool Empress Catherine II during her visit to Crimea in 1787. Conventional wisdom has it that Potemkin, who led the Crimean military campaign, had hollow facades of villages constructed along the desolate banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the monarch and her travel party with the value of her new conquests, thus enhancing his standing in the empress's eyes.
