The Chinese government has manipulated their currency so that their exports were 40% cheaper than they should have been if it were really a free market

The Chinese haven't done anything the Japanese have done for 40 years.

Sure, there is plenty of blame to go around for the collapse of American industry, but the Japanese were only too happy to scoop up the business behind a closed market.

Currency manipulation or closed markets: It all works the same way, has the same strategic goals and does the same thing to American manufacturers.

American manufacturers have been betrayed diplomatically, and that will change soon.
