As President Barack Obama pushes an ambitious agenda to liberalize global trading, political trade wars already are forming, and they’re with fellow Democrats rather than with Republicans, his usual antagonists.
Obama is promoting free-trade proposals with Europe and Asia that could affect up to two-thirds of all global trade. …
Both deals generally have the support of U.S. businesses. But labor unions and human rights and environmental groups—core Democratic constituencies—have so far viewed them cynically.

If you want to move a factory to China, then shut it down and go completely out of business. Then go to China and ask for permission to become a Chinese company, surrender your capitol to them. Give up your US citizenship and AMF.

lol.
Could be. You pay this monthly, for this many months or we get the house. lol
I swear, everywhere I turn some bureaucrat is trying to micromanage my life . . . so I seek refuge at FR, where some try to do the same. Go figure.

And always, the unstated protectionist doctrine, which adds "by making holsters more expensive."
Have you considered getting the government to help? Uncle Sugar is there for ya’, buddy.
There’s just too much freedom going on around here, isn’t there?
You either believe in sovereign states or a flat borderless world. One or the other.
Like I said with almost a billion Chinamen slaves at our disposal, logically and without any thought of social or security interests, it makes no sense for any other country to manufacture anything at all, ever.
Whoa-— BEAV is up again today, I never knew selling military aircraft parts to the Red Chinese could be SO MUCH FUN!!!!
No income tax? What did you say about wanting to crap gold bricks? lol
