We have passed the point of no return - our economy is so tied into China's economy that we would have an economic collapse if we broke with China.

They have nuclear warheads pointed at us. I'm willing to take the damage that our economy might suffer to destroy Red China. We can take it a lot better than they can.

"We have passed the point of no return - our economy is so tied into China's economy that we would have an economic collapse if we broke with China."

Nonsense. The Chinese import surplus with the U.S. is a mere $110 Billion.

The U.S. economy, on the other hand, has a $12 Trillion GDP.

Thus, Chinese trade is less than a tenth of a percent of our overall economy.

Don't mistake trinkets in Wal-Mart as a sign of a trade dependency.

Economies can be rebuilt. Taiwan's 23 million people cannot.
