Expect the fed (both DNC and GOP-e) to cave on this ultimatum from their mandarin masters. Free traitors sold the US to the highest bidder, now we ALL will have to pay the price. When obama said “ you didn’t build that” he was right, the chinese did. The free traitors stole and sold our national sovereignty to the highest bidder, and will tell you to your face that they did, and as long as they got theirs, they could care less who they destroyed in the process to get it.

.......Sir, with sincerest respect to your post, we don’t owe China a damn thing because of the absolute right of “offset”. Simply put, including stolen royalties, they owe us far more than we owe them. A strong President and an honest one, like Cruz or Palin, would negotiate a “walk away” on this so called “debt”. For your convenience, the link below is a history of the China debt to the U.S.

Massive corporate taxation, limitless legal vulnerability, crushing environmental regulation and pro-Union arbitrary Government: these are why industries have increasingly chosen to relocate away from the USA.
Not to mention the job-killing tidal wave of ObamaCare.
Free Trade is simply economic Freedom of Association. Corporations take their capital to where it is treated best. Right now that isn't the US.
Corporations are strictly bound to look out for the interests of their shareholders. They are not our property and they owe us precisely nothing. Why should they put their shareholders' capital at risk just to provide some union guy with an early pension?
Hope this was helpful.
