This story highlights the fatal flaw in so-called "free trade."

Americans could benefit if China imported Ford automobiles built in the United States.

The way it's supposed to work is China sells us things and we sell them things. The problem is they won't buy American-made stuff. American businesses are required to teach them all of the technology, build the plants and train their employees how to manufacture the products.

My question is very simple. After every company in America has taught the Chinese how to build every American product, why would anyone need to buy anything built in America?

I cannot see why the Chinese dictatorship would then continue to share profit with the American businesses who handed them all the technology and infrastructure. What are American businesses going to do if China's government tells them to get out and never come back?

This is the same country that has threatened to nuke cities in the United States. We will be at war with these people in the future and they will use our technology to kill us.

Bingo!

From Wrigley gum to Cisco routers, China has been stealing patents and copyrights, then making their own versions and selling these products as their own.
According to these American companies they lost $20 billion to China alone. This is just the beginning.

It is National Suicide. Clinton's been gone for 3 years, and offshoring and outsourcing have accelerated.
Recently the last place in the U.S. making high quality magnets (used to make smart bombs) closed. Now 88% are made in Communist China.

They'll probably be selling cheap Ford clones for 35 cents on the dollar right here in the USA, with the consent and blessing, not to mention the underwriting, or the US government. I wonder what happens when the US produces absolutely nothing?
