China is different though. Ummm, they are Chinese. It's totally different to prop up a communist state by using prison labor and near slave wages. It's our way of welcoming them into the world community. They learn our value system that way.
Whatever.
Someone made a similar point earlier. What vestigial tail of the cold war is prohibiting us from having free trade with Cuba but permitting it with China? I guess this is the century of one big happy world where Communism is no longer a menace and fascists should be embraced so long as it makes for a better quarterly report.
