Thanks for the case against free trade with China. Somehow our own luminaries are able to overlook the fundamental character of the regime in order to come up with a rationale for "most favored nation" status.

You beat me to it, I was going to chime in with the "most favored Nation" line.

I read in the paper a few years ago that a man was executed in China for stealing a toaster, and a farmer was executed because he grew a crop other than what the government wanted him to grow.

Hummm. I thought we were the one's constantly looked and being pointed out as being barberic because of our stance on capital punishment.
