Where are the sources proving China's economy is open to U.S. corporations' competition (w/o Chi-com partners) and where are the numbers proving there is enough consumer income to buy U.S. products even if the market was open? For that matter, where are the numbers proving there's any consumer income outside the "capitalist" zone?

That would be free trade.

"Free" trade is Beijing dictating American trade policy. The Chi-coms deliver "cheap" labor and promise access to China's market. In return they get hundreds of billions of dollars and all forms of technology.

"Free" trade is making China a "kinder, gentler" nation? Where's the proof? (Dan Rather described China as a "kinder, gentler" nation back in 1989 just hours before Tiannamen Square was covered with blood and body parts.)

Here's a government that murdered tens of millions of their own citizens and we trust them because we can buy a microwave for forty dollars?

Lucky for us the Chi-coms seem to be destroying themselves. The Party cadre get rich and get rights while the 700 million outside the "capitalist" zone (and millions of unemployed) get poorer, angry and more restless.
