Raise taxes on all technology imports from China to say 5 times their current level. Also raise income taxes for all corporations importing from China. Call it 'the China penalty'. It won't hurt the corporations, it will just have them comply with moving to somewhere better and more productive, and as to not have such a trade imbalance.

You sound more communist than the Communist Chinese.

no no. not by a mile. I say companies should do business where free markets can and DO reign, not where they are manipulated and contorted for the quick buck and to prop up a Communist regime.

China is a dot.com scheme in process and we are all buying shares.

For long term sustained economic growth we have to be extremely careful about China.

We will be a whole lot better off somewhere else.

You label consideration of the geopolitical dimension versus the economic dimension as "Communist." This is very foolish thinking. Yes, indeed, Communists always prided them selves with their geopolitical acumen. So too did we up until we convinced ourselves that "we won the Cold War." Now what?
