...spoken like the rest of the ignorant people that don't know what drives business... or who does business where!

Can you frickin' READ??? Where the h*ll did I say ANYTHING about Wal-Mart? G-d bless 'em...I hope they make a boatload of money this "holiday" season. I hope EVERYBODY makes a boatload. My point is that buying 'Chinese', regardless of WHERE Americans purchase these products, is going to finance the build-up of the Red China military arsenal, which MAY be used at some point against us. Geez...what else is going on in the 'Pollyannaverse' today?

The point IS, why is it okay and permitted that every other retailer in America and over seas, large and small are allowed to sell China made products? Retailer envy much? Don't like WalMart, start your own retail chain and compete with them or are you too Whimpy-verse today? And p.s., China's Red army has already been built up! That's what communist countries do and how they function. Duh....

I'm sorry, if I lumped you with all the other WalMart/China bashers. I just assumed that since you were posting those thoughts on a WalMart thread, you were just like them...

I don't know how trading with PRC is any different. If there are two countries selling the same product, with similar quality, but one is drastically cheaper, the world will beat a path to that door. We can do business with them, or let everyone else do business with them, and leave us out of all their dealings.

I agree on the potential threa,t posed by the PRC. I also believe that our best fight, is to win the minds and hearts of the people. You can only do that by lifting them up.

Money flows around the world. Do you want the wan to be the standard?

After WW2, we rebuilt the Japanese and German economies. We built new factories for them, while ours decayed. Now, we are paying a price, that is based on our goodness. But, look at those countries today.

Mr. Gorbachev tore down that wall, and the Japanese are among our best friends, and allies, today.
