Relelvant Trade Policy Reference, Excerpt: 'Harry' Wu is famous in the States. He escaped from China after 19 years in a prison camp for holding 'counter-revolutionary' views, then conned his way back into the prisons to document the misery of forced labour. In 1995, Wu was jailed once more, but not before he had reported the appalling tale of slave labour.

Naturally, Wal-Mart has contracts with suppliers that say none of its merchandise should be made by slaves, prisoners or little children. But among its suppliers is Shantou Garment Trading Company, based in Guandong Province. The Trading Company uses factories in Shantou town: nothing wrong with that. But some of the Trading Company's manufacturing is also carried out in nearby Jia Yang prison.

Do any of Wal-Mart's goods come from the prison? The company says it would refuse to handle anything made in a prison, and no one suggests that it knowingly connives in supporting prison labour. Wal-Mart repeats the mantra that its contracts forbid it.

20 years ago we were going to have learn Japanese.

This one is very serious though.

We have less than a generation to turn around the Chinese problem.

I've been very concerned since the Chicoms arrived at the Panama Canal...

I agree with the Auerbach Report in that Lenin's "sell them enough rope and capitalists will hang themselves" theory was incomplete. As China may have figured out, you have to sell them the rope on credit to really hang the little piggies high (or, at the very least, to keep the protectionist wolves at bay).

This article is right on, China is growing and we are weakening. Our weakness is the result of us throwing away our economic, moral and military advantages. Our socialist, leftist politicians, media, and groups like the ACLU are leading the way to our oblivion.

The communist Chinese leadership is evil and brutal. It treats its own population as worker ants and will do the same to us once we are beaten down. The European leftist on-world crowd are just stooges for China. Useful idiots who will be rubbed out by the Chinese communist leaders once the one and only opponent (USA) is defeated. Same treatment for the Islamic terror crowd, useful tools to be melted down once the goal is met.

If the nations Italy, Germany and Japan are replaced with India, China and Iran(pick anything in the world of Islam) It all sound like the lead in to WWII. But instead of the 1920’s and 30’s we need a new date. Something like 2020’s to 2030’s? The method is the same. The date is 100 years later. Will the final outcome be 100X more dead?

Add another zero to the factor. In the next world war, all the players are going to have nukes.

We may be fighting WWIV sooner than you think also.

Ridiculous, China is hesitant about taking on the tiny island of Taiwan even without U.S. intervention. Taking us on in our own backyard would be nothing less than suicide. The worst scenario I can envision is a regional blowout in S.E. Asia. There's no way, we'd be pounding on the front door within 3 months and you can say bye, bye to all that nice new infrastructure they've been building, everything below the 3 gorges dam would be gone on the first day.

Instead the Japanese had to learn English and come here for less expensive labor. Less expensive but still well educated, with a good work ethic and able to produce high quality automobiles.

A well reasoned essay, but for two glaring errors, both in the same sentence:

Diego Garcia, our forward deployment base in the Pacific.

Diego Garcia is a British asset, and it's in the Indian ocean.
