Until you post a fact that shows their pegged, below market currency doesn't make their imports, like oil, more expensive for them, then I'll just leave that in the feelings column.

I just explained to you that it is their national goal to undercut US manufacturing. Subsidizsing their exports, blocking imports of competitive products, manipulating their currency for maximum exports are worth it to the Chinese even if a 747 ends up costing more because of it. Oh, and BTW, they have designs on the airplane market as well.

Not only that, but ask yourself how they have effected the politics of this country by erasing many so called middle class jobs. Look at the division in the GOP that this issue has caused. Their playing in our economic back yard creates all sort negative abstract intangibles that cannot be easily quantified, but ore equally as dangerous.

Is that your admission that their weak currency makes oil, and all their other imports, more expensive for them? Excellent! Glad I could correct your misperception!
