Now look who's jumping to conclusions...The chicoms know full well that a continued expansion of their free market sector of their economy will lead to demands for more personal freedoms among the chinese. That is why the CP maintains a corrupt reactionary hold on many of the productive sectors of their economy.

Cutting off chinese exports now will only delay any possibility of reform there. The pressure is on as long as we continue to import. If we stop, those protective tarriffs will never topple.

Yes and the controls are becoming stronger.

If we stop, those protective tarriffs will never topple.Lets see now we continue a policy that has not worked because we are convinced that more of teh same will work. Of course that policy harms Americans and seems to build up the current oligarchy in China. Do you have any evidence that opening our nation to Chinese exports has ended the regime in power there? I really would like to see that they have not been investing in military equipment to take over Taiwn and possibly challenge any American attempt to counter such a strike. One might even agrue their build up of dollar reserves is to threaten the USA with a collapse of the dollar should we attemot to counter their interests.

I asked for evidence and you come back with an attack. Lets see now teh last demands for more personal freedom in China were met with tanks. The Chinses government has recently tried to chut down a great deal of Hong Kong's personal Freedom which resulted in demonstrations and I submit itis merely a question of time and propaganda before either that personal liberty ius taken awy legslatively or by tanks.

The Chinese know that their "free market sector" can become a state industry with the mere flicker of a pen. Their free market only exists in the delusional minds of the free traders. It is neatly contained within a small corner of the country, so most of the country is excluded from it and probably doesn't even know that it exists. It is not like they have globalized the benefits of the market, or opened the channels of communications to a free press. This is just a joke willingly accepted by greedy self centered fools.

Maybe, maybe not.
