As usual you're full of ****. American business loves China. They send our
jobs there and fire American workers so they can make more for themselves.

That is just stupid, simplistic and wrong! Jobs aren't "sent" to China,
jobs are lost to Chinese companies that produce and deliver goods cheaper
that American companies. The Chinese government subsidizes business in
China, America punishes businesses.

China doesn't sound so bad in comparison.

You know NOTHING about China! For God's sake, READ SOMETHING!!!...other
than leftist blogs.

Better yet, try doing business directly with China.
Not buying something they already make for someone else (which they
will gladly sell to you too, using tooling the other guy paid for, as
well as his design) - but have something YOU designed built there -
and see how long you can survive when they start selling YOUR product
to any and all comers for lower cost than you are paying.

That happened to a freind of mine. He had a soldering station
designed, then sent it to China. A few months later, it's in several US
catalogs for less than half what they are charging him.

Happened to me - company I was working for - we designed a unique PC
case and had it made in China. We paid for all the dies and all the
injection molding equipment and everything - and they were selling out
case worldwide through "asian sources computing" for half (or less)
what we were paying - before we got our first production run.

Yet companies still try to get honest deals there.
