Japan went down the toilet when we persuaded them to 'open up' their economy while the very well protected Chinese economy was increasingly taking business away from Japan.

And... we do not buy sneakers from China while selling them tractors. By now, the communists who rule China have already demanded that we built ONE tractor factory in China, learned from us how to make tractors efficiently and built 10 more tractor factories on their own. They are now selling us the tractors made by the factory we built while the other 10 factories are saturating the Chinese market to the extent that they no longer need our tractors. They will be using the money they get for exporting us the tractors to develop themselves other industries, especially hi-tech or those that would help them better outfit their army. And they will be selling us those sneakers too.

There I agree with you. The demand that we build a factory there was not free trade and we should not have done it. We aren't too far apart on this we just see different routs to fixing the situation.

I hate to do it but I really have to go for a while. Let’ talk about this more in the near future. I enjoy talking to you.
