Because you are an end user. Many OEM’s, domestic manufacturers, and distributors find their best prices for the quality come from China. So they as consumers are choosing their best price and quality to get YOU, the end user, the same.
:), the prices are going up and the quality i see is largely crappy. anyway, that is irrelevant to this discussion about the *cause* of our trade imbalance.
but by your response (ie, talking about us consumers having a “choice.”), you seem to be in sync with this so called economist; ie, blaming the US consumers and producers for its current trade deficit.
sorry FRiend, i’ve already reasoned past this false idea. our politicians and bankers are and have been for a long time in league with china’s politician’s (and the world’s) rigging this game. wittingly or unwittingly, the result is our current financial disaster and perdicament. anyway, thanks for the debate.
