Normally I agree with MNJohnnie - let's have free and fair trade with other free nations, and may the best competitor win. China is a little bit different however.

It's quite a bit worse than the simple trade imbalance i.e. subsidy for their stuff, tariffs on ours, Yuan devaluation. Of even more serious concern is that China is building up its military with that trade imbalance with equipment directly designed to take on our own units. We seem pretty oblivious to this threat.

Anyone traveling in Japan will notice very very few American products except perhaps some bootleg videos. In Japan its the people who won’t buy American products but with China, the people just don’t have the money and the gov’t restricts American products. I look at labels and avoid China and Japan if I can.
