Just send the Mattel guy back over there to apologize for this stuff, too. He’s learned how to do business with the Chinese.

Pretty much.

God love the free market. China still has a lesson or two to learn the hard way... But those lessons will be learned. One way or another.

Chinese response: "No, you're a towel"

The only safe vehicle with a Chinese driver on a Chinese road is one with the gas peddle removed.

Hilarious. Now that’s the pot calling the kettle a pot. My greatest joy will be when the Chinese attempt a financial attack, only to realize that we are the only fools who are ordering their crap...and now we can’t order any more.

I have to differ. Chinese goods are everywhere, thus the reports of people in various South/Central American nations dying from toothpaste contamination and such. In addition, the Europeans have been complaining more recently about the Chinese controlling the ROE of their Yuan vs the Euro. The trade inbalance is hitting them hard. There's an article here this morning somewhere.

Cheers!
