Here's what goes on in the China we are helping by not only trading freely, but doing so at a precipitous disadvantage (17% subsidy for their goods going to the U.S., 17% tariff on our goods going to China):

*******

Mr. Zuo Zhigang, age 33, was arrested on May 30, 2001, by the Shijiazhuang City police. He was beaten to death that night at the Qiaoxi District Police Station. His corpse was covered with scars, and there were two large square-shaped holes on the back of his torso, consistent with kidney harvesting.

Mr. Ren Pengwu, age 33, was arrested by the police in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province on February 16, 2001. Five days later, he was murdered and all his organs, from his pharynx and larynx to his penis, were removed. The authorities hastily cremated his remains that same day without his family's knowledge or consent.

Just rememeber, these are our friends. China is no longer Communistic and we can always out do them militarily. (as long as someone else sacrifices their life to accomplish it)

Not only that, the IOC has granted China the 2008 Olympics.

Like I’ll watch ten seconds of that tripe.

But giving them MFN will turn them into a peaceful human rights loving democracy dontchaknow.

Excuse me while I retch.

The dragon is going to be a bigger beast than the Nazis and the Bear ever were. Even combined the dragon will dwarf them. I am not talking no Dragon Tales type dragon either.

Our continued trade with them is stupidity. Free trade as a vehicle for freedom is a failure.

If my quality of life should decline because we no longer trade with communist slavers, that is fine. They represent a great threat to our freedom. There is no easier choice than the one between freedom and trinkets.
