When China drops the protections, I'm all for exploiting their cheap labor. It will STILL be cheap if they had a fully open market. Right now, it's blocked. YOU support this. YOU are the problem. Or...
I currently make a great living...of course, I'm a technical guy who's involved in moving much of my companies manufacturing assets to mainland China. I've been there and I'll be going back.
Make up your mind. Which is it? Am I the problem or are you? (Personally, I understand economics a little better than you and realize their shooting themselves in the foot wasting money on tariffs does nothing to us in the long run.)

You are. I'm simply exploiting the situation as I can.
You're supporting the greater bad. You think we can continue on this course forever.
>>Personally, I understand economics a little better than you<<
Sure you do. I bow to your infinite wisdom. Lol.
I'm part of an internation corporation and I deal with products shipping all over the globe.
China is only part of the problem. Many products come from Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, India and elsewhere. I deal with this every day. I'm guessing you've never even been to Asia. I guess that means though, you know more about it than me. Uncle, Uncle. You win. LOL.
I've got a job for you. I'll pay you $20 Hong Kong Dollars to drive a truck into the mainland. That's the going rate for drivers by the way. Now, when you learn that the truck is filled with products made in the USA, will you take the job? No? Why? Not enough money? Ok, assume I'll give you $2000 USD to do it? Would you? Please? Wanna know why i'd offer that? Chances are you'll be detained at the border and your passport will be siezed for about 2 weeks. This is standard practice for ANYTHING going into China.
Course, the flip flop of that, going out, get's a wave and off it goes. Until you are part of that process, you simply WILL NOT UNDERSTAND that the rest of the world does NOT deal fairly with the USA. You are the problem.
