Just imagine if the world (ie every other country) just said ‘ NO ‘ to China. That’s what it will take.

[furrowtickler]

But it’s racism to blame China for anything at all period , the gubberment says so

So OZ is now getting a taste of what china is really like too. Like it or not china wants to be at war with us, so do we answer the call? Countries that are too stupid to impose a tariff on chinese goods, are going to get hurt bad. china will continue to buy just the commodities that it can afford in the future so we will have to plan on reduced volumes going there permanently. Anyways have to review shopping habits and just say no to made in china.

Then you can do all your shopping with one of those handy little baskets they provide, instead of the big cart...

Well when china learns how to grow food and raw resources in a sweatshop then maybe we can worry.

I would say we have the upper hand.

Wrong jazz. We HAD the upper hand. Then we elected the dumbest person to ever lead the country. China and the world outside the CBC knows this, and we are being pillaged because of it.

As everyone who can perform simple math keeps pointing out, China needs us(USA, Canada Europe etc), we don't need China. Their entirely export driven economy depends on it. There are lots of other regions of the world who are willing and able to manufacture, including right here in North America, There are no other consumer driven economies to export to.
