Maybe Khruschev got it backwards, and THEY are going to sell US the rope they use to hang us with.

America has a shortage. A rather large shortage. A shortage of integrity. Too many Americans would sell anything to anyone to make a buck.

In spite of what some freepers post, when it comes to commerce, there are things that are just plain wrong.

I have told my tire guy, for a couple of years now, not to ever put a Chinese tire on my trucks. Just never trusted them and they wear out in less than a year. I don’t buy Chinese stuff unless I have no choice and I need a certain too. I absolutely will not buy their food.

Back in the day, a product with a "Made in Japan" label was thought of as being a piece of crap.

Now it's China's turn.

All this is normal for the Chinese.

With a billion people, I’m sure these are just ways to ensure Chinese population control.

More consequences of phoney "free trade". In a true market situation...the costs of the bad tires would already have forced the reliance on the Chinese suppliers to be terminated. But FTS top honchos must be simply planning on obsconding with its loot, and filing the company in banko. Then starting it all over again.

The only people who are going to be able to make a living are the Lawyers who will be suing the snot out of Chinese importers and the health care professionals who will be scraping us up from the pavement to either heal or bury us.
