Ridiculous, maybe, but try being an American business getting your things sold in China.

Boeing just sold China 80 new Boeings. China bought them rather than airbus because of France's trade policies.

Just wait. China will buy more French military hardware. They can't wait to end the embargo.

What about Joe's Plastics down the road, here in there states.... they make brush handles for a good price. But Chinese brush handles can be shipped here and sold for less than half the COST of Joe's handles. Fair trade? Not when Joe's employees earn $8-$10 an hour, and the Chinese equivalant earns that much in a day, if that.
