You don't buy Chinese-made products? Everybody else does. Chinese factory production is up 19% in a single year.

I wonder how many Chinese products the rich people who encouraged trade with CHina buy?
An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right

Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take

You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown

Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy

I don't think there's much of an alternative for most things. Even high profile things like Apple "designed in Cupertino" products are made there.

Yep, IF I had a choice.

If I was in the store and saw $2 tube of American toothpaste and 50 cent tube of Chinese toothpaste, I'd buy the American tube, because I don't want to be poisoned.
