Food Safety in China, and the Risk to the U.S.

[Chinese-Dragon]

We cannot punish China without incurring some pain of our own.

We tolerate China's underhandedness out of that fear.

This post seems to constrast with many of your older posts...

US tolerating your underhandedness

Whatever make you happy, words are free, as long as American continues to strip its industry and ship it to China.

Yeah I remember you, you're that guy who insisted T-bills weren't not liquid and that nobody wanted them.

Oh yeah you're the man.

Why don't you do everybody a favor and post that conversation here and show how you got your panties in a knot there.

It was something like .....wait a minute....wait a minute.....wait a minute sequence

True...But WHEN we do act, our actions will be far costlier for China than for US. The pain in China will be so great that it will compel you to stay in Canada for good...

We need principled libertarians in WH. Paul might be a but unhinged but nothing less than him can revive US economy.

We can use some of his Libertarian principles but now is not the time for his isolationist stance.

LOL, then do it. I have no idea why your government would prefer to help China, rather than protecting their own economy.

By manipulating your own currency, there is a price to be paid, keep that in mind. The price is inflationairy burden that it puts on your domestic economy, which you have little to show for.. I would not boast so High and Mighty regarding this matter......

Hahahahaha brilliant.

But apart from "internet tough guy" statements, do you have anything to support the idea that the Democrats/Republicans are willing to give up the profits for big businesses, and take a strong stand regarding Chinese trade issues?

I am really starting to like US politicians now.

You should hold off those plans now. Else start packing because the odds is now 50/50 at best that Obama will be reelected.

Do check out Ron Paul thread I posted if you are a fan.

Well it's either him or likes of Romney or Perry who will sell US piece by piece to highest bidders.

I meant I'll change my plans (won't be for a year or two at least) if a new US trade policy causes an economic down turn in China. What candidate gets elected matters very little if the policies don't change.

Also it's kind of funny that you are are pinning this all on Obama. Obama rolled over Bush's whole economic team. China did best vis-a-vis the US under the later Bush years I think.

If Obama wins again, that's fine. Have you seen how quickly the trade deficit and the debt has been increasing under him?

If the Republicans win, then that is even better. They are economic right-wingers, they love the free markets. Look at what Bush did.

China did best vis-a-vis the US under the later Bush years I think.

That's right, the Sino-American relationship turns more in our favour when Republicans sit in the White House.

The US foolishly assumes that they control employment in China, and unemployment in China would be a problem. It has NEVER been a problem. Only inflation is a problem for developing countries. Employment is even easier. The export industry only employs 5% of the labor force. Another 5% unemployment would be nothing, but cutting off ties to the US would reduce inflation due to less USD flowing in.

However, would the US be able to tolerate the hyperinflation that would follow with a break from China's industries? Haha no way. The lower class whites, blacks and Mexicans will revolt.

ChineseDragon: The "politics" of the US are just gladiator games for show to distract their populace. The US has some of the greatest policy continuity of any nation on earth. It shows that it is a military regime.
