Then take automobile engines. Chevrolet imports lots of them from Shanghai.
Compare the costs with those made in Canada.

Or electric motors. As of a few years ago, the US sold more electric motors
to China than we bought from them.

Silverware. Eyeglasses. Leather shoes. Men's suits. Automobiles.
Motorcycles. Replacement windows. Insulation. Lumber. Aluminum. Detergents.
Electric drills. Outboard motors and boats. Trucks. Aircraft. House siding.
Meat. Vegetables. Fishing rods.

And so on, for an overwhelming list of products. China "dominates" in the
cheap end of consumer products. Their quality is ****-poor. They're a
natural marriage with Wal-Mart.

Go knock yourself out surfing http://www.alibaba.com/ on the stuff you
can import from China. All it takes is a simple visit to Beijing or
Shanghai to get a good idea of the top class stuff in every category.
