Slave labor???..the best selling car in Beijing is the VW passat, adv. price $31,000.00..and the Chinese govt. just passed a luxury tax on big cars , limos and yachts which will hurt the 100,000 millionaires in Beijing. Buick can't build cars fast enough in China, and John Deere is on their 5 th plant there..tariffs are stupid, they are a tax on consumers, China will simply retaliate, and why should consumers buy American when GM, Ford, and Chrysler don't?

By the way the Chinese middle class is now over 300 million. Larger than the population of the US. In addition I wonder what all the US stockholders would think about shutting down US industry in China. Many retirement funds would take a hit. Hardly Davidson just opened in China.
