Free trade and China have no place in the same sentence, unless you are talking about what China DOESN'T have.
Fair enough. Just to give us an idea, how do they compare to yours?

So Mr. Palast your smarter than all of the Presidents economic advisers I suppose...
Thought you were a troll until I checked your membership date.... I don't care, I still think you are a troll.
WMT trading at $49.54.
China is currently our third largest creditor. This is a fact that many on both sides of the free trade issue often fail to mention. That is to say, it's always a good policy not to through a brick through the window of the bank that holds you mortgage.
One quick background check on Mr. Palast & the Baltimore Chronicle was all I needed....lovely friends he keeps...Asner, Baldwin, ....nuf said....
You should have stated in your initial comments what you agreed with and what you didn't. I once posted a sarcastic comment without the word sarcasm and I was almost kicked off.
My comment was directed towards the author.
So this dumb-donkey who wrote this article thinks it is far better for the government to control the economy? A liitle fascist or communist huh? I will bet you that if they could, the Chinese workers would lovre to have some American workers rights. Oh yes the mighty Chinese sweatshops make the ones here in the US look like pre-school. What a load of BS!
Such a well spoken, refined economist, who wouldn't listen to what he has to say. This is sounds the kind of guy you can really trust.
Ya, I know they are threatening Taiwan, but they know if we go to war, both our and the Chinese economies will collapse.
I did say that China and "free trade" have no place in the same sentence. China is far from a market economy, and its best for America, IMO, to keep that in mind when we are making policy and trade agreements with China.
