In the United States, critics blame China for stealing U.S. jobs and pushing the trade deficit to record levels by keeping the value of its currency, the yuan, artificially low.

Snakes bite. Who's to blame for that?

Uppity talk from a nation who would be eating tree bark in two years if we stopped the Walmart ships from coming here. China is living off our dollars, and they should be grateful they are in better shape than N. Korea because of it. Instead, they act as if WE owe them something. By the way, they are using our cash to rapidly expand their military, and our grandchildren will pay the price for our terminal short-sightedness.

If they apply the 27.5% tax on goods from China, Wal-mart won't be nearly as popular as it is now. Personally, I would threaten to kick them out of any port operations in this country and end their lease to the Panama canal.

Excellent comments above.

This is the beginning of the end for a unified China. Demands for economic progress will cause the provinces to break away from the barbarian Manchus who've ruled the nation since the end of WWII.

When a communist country comes begging for trade privileges, you know they're feeling the pressure from their citizens and their tax revenues.

It's over for China.

The US is going to end up pissing China off to the point that they sell off all their US currency reserves and stop funding America's deficit spending.

China regularly violats its treaty that says it won't dump goods at below-market prices. These goods are made by lsave labor, in violation of another treaty. China has nuclear warheads aimed at us. The Red Chinese murderers are in no position to lecture anyone about anything. They should be toppled, not coddled.

We shoudl ban all Red Chinese goods from this country.

More Bulls*** from China about trade. Notice how they never respond directly when we object to their massive theft of our software, music CDs, and movie DVDs. Instead they make diversionary statements about some insignificant issue to try to change the subject. In China, power talks and Bulls*** walks. It's time to hit them with a 8% tariff on a broad range of manufactured products. They do not respect Americans and they are currently engaged in a deliberate, calculated economic assault on America.
