Dunno about you but by buying made in China, I'm helping to breed a billion
greedy capitalists and bring about the end of the last great Communist threat.

Yes.

See, even though what the Chinese labor earns is a pittance by
our standards, it's a good living wage by their standards. They
have more money than just enough for food clothing shelter now,

Yes.

and they're starting to want "stuff."

They always have.

That's a good thing. Increased demand for goods and services

Nope.

prices will go up,

Nope.

and suddenly it will be cheaper to produce goods in the US.

Nope, you watch.
