#1 perfidy: The act of violating faith or allegiance; violation of a promise or vow; faithlessness; treachery.

Yup, that's China.

#3 China is the strategic threat, and we are the source of their growing power. Stop buying everything Chinese (interesting to see how that will work) and re-industrialize America. Moving manufacturing from China back to the US and customer service back from India (leaving a huge number of Indians with useless names like Steve)will reintroduce Americans to entry level jobs and reassert quality and confidence in our everyday goods and services.

#4 Too right, GC228. I become ever less amused at how our politicians seem to have no problem sending endless quantities of American dollars to our worst enemies. We finance both China and the MME (Muslim Middle East) with our money and this shit has got to stop.

#5 You volunteering to work a manufacturing job at Chinese wages, GC? Hell, even at twice the prevailing Chinese wage?

I worked light plastics for a few months when I was out of college with a useless liberal arts degree. The minimum-wage convenience store job that came afterwards was a step up.

Please recall how the Chinese wage structure and export pricing is completely manipulated, much like their currency. If China had to comply with environmental laws, health and safety codes, quality control and other such niggling little matters their cheap crap wouldn't be so cheap any more.

#7 Zenster: there you go making complete sense again. Do you really think there is anyone in DC that would even think about placing something something as odius as a 'duty' on incoming foreign goods that didn't have all those niggling details in place? working in the manufacturing sector, i would love to see that also, FWIW.

Ummm, Mitch, you took a job paying below Minimum Wage?
Bad choices do not mean "Oppression".
