Last year the US sold a whopping 22.1 billion worth of goods to Communist China, while Communist China shipped a miniscule $125.1 billion of (slave labor/almost slave labor) products to the US.
The only jobs that you are talking about are the exec's at the Wal-Marts of the world. And that is the only reason why they are there--cheap slave labor.
This 1.2 billion consumer market is a myth that was sold by white shoe salesmen at the turn of the last century.

Well the place to start a boycott is at home. And since you're using a computer YOU'RE A BLEEDING HYPOCRITE! There's no possible way you could have a computer with no parts made in China. Since you can't manage to boycott China I see no reason why I should.
