#3 America doesn't have the fortitude to impose tarriffs. I should say the government. We should just start our own import ban. Power to the people.

#4 Oh, and a 50% tariff on Wal-Mart would do what exactly to the average working class American? Hmm? Did you think about that when you spout off? So one Chinese dude makes an off-the-cuff remark and you want to punish "China" by increasing prices for everything in the US? Are you going to impose this tariff on produce sold in Wal-Mart as well? I assume so since you said Wal-Mart and not Chinese imports. Last I looked, in my super center, most of the produce was from either the US or South America. I love knee-jerk reactions. Real good thinking there, rocket scientists.

#5 We keep hearing China sold. We aren't hearing who bought...

#6 Then I offer this correction: all the stuff from China.

Their entire business model is based on wrecking US manufacturing... _and still counting on us to be able to afford to buy their stuff_.

Just between you and me, I don't think it's going to work.

#7 I think they realize this already and their only real question is, can they use the resulting wreck for political or casus belli purposes? As seen by this asshole.

------------------

As to whether "it's just one guy..." if he were to say something the ruling classes there really did NOT approve of, would this have made the papers? Would he still be at large?

#8 China has a lot of problems. We don't need to discuss them, but perhaps they should. Then again, that's one of their problems.

#9 This guy became rich arbitraging the difference in labor costs between a feudal state where 'connections' and guanxi are the difference between life and death and the (until recently) freer societies of the west. And all he can think of is kicking the latter in the ribs for their troubles.

#11 The guy is upset because Obama met the Dalai Lama. As far as I can tell, that's about the first thing Obama's done right.

#12 The Chinese education system under the communists, still largely unchanged today, portrayed world history as one giant conspiracy against China. Everything bad was/is caused by foreigners, in particular 'white devils'.

Hung's comments are fairly mild compared to some things I've heard from Chinese nationals.

#13 By allowing the Communist Chinese to take our manufacturing and intellectual property bases
we are setting ourselves vulnerable to a gut punch. Or worse.

#14 Ya know, rich Commie guy, if Mao was still alive, he'd be feeding you to pigs.

#15 With their rapid expansion and demonstrated lack of proper governmental oversight in health and safety, I think we can provide more than enough bureaucrats to help them transition more efficiently to a modern economy. It's now time to take our excess of public 'service' employees and become China's outsource for those skills. "We're from the government, We're here to help you."

#16 Nothing much can be done about Tibet now; that should be a side issue. Let's not deny that China was hand delivered leverage, when US spending needed a prop. China didn't cause laughably low lending rates to US non-viables.

#17 Dali Lama might be a great guy but from what I've heard about Tibet before the Chinese took it over it wasn't exactly a nice place for non-priests. Perhaps I'm wrong but I've never heard the Dali Lama talk about how he would change things if he got his country back, its just assumed it would be the same and most people think because the Dali Lama himself is such a nice guy that the nation must have been nice before. Not necessarily true.

#18 Tibet was part of the Axis.
That said...
China proliferated to NK and Pakiwakiland...
Hasn't really help with Kimmy...
And this jerk wants to support a physical attack on our nation over humoring some monk...
Didn't here Obama say a word about missiles to Tibet freedom fighters...
