I am sure there was pandering to China and you can be sure it is going both ways to appease. <br /><br /> I know I do not matter but I am adamant about China and the US getting along as both our futures count on it.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-82078532024053146402010-05-02T10:52:03.308-07:002010-05-02T10:52:03.308-07:00I know Tim sadly it is the nature of the human bea...I know Tim sadly it is the nature of the human beast.

They hold enough of our debt to crush us without firing a shot. No way could we ever hope to compete when their workers' wages are so far below ours and their lack of environmental laws.<br />When we first started relations with China back in the early 70s my Dad used to say "wouldn't it be great if we could sell the Chinese toothbrushes". Great idea Dad except it would turn out that they would be the ones making the brushes and selling them to us.<br />Another thing to remember is that they got along quite nicely without the rest of the world for thousands of years.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-45568591721112880062010-05-02T06:58:13.117-07:002010-05-02T06:58:13.117-07:00Jim

We are fine for now until they've exhausted our every opportunity. <br />Perhaps that's just me being Paranoid.<br />I just think they need us for now..<br />I also think we could be number one if we just change our ways. Stop War Mongering,meddling, and make investments here. You don't see China with bases all over the world.<br />I also think it's Human Nature to dominate. There I go fighting windmills.;)<br />LaterTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183815338714438681noreply@blogger.com
