I beg you all to stop spending your money on products made in China. You are financing your own destruction. And your neighbors, and mine. 

I think it would be better to just do without it if you can't find a substitution made elsewhere.

My point sigil, is that China and the rest of the world knows we are fighting a two front war, they know our economy is collapsing, but more importantly, they sense the policies coming from Obama's administration is putting us in a weakened state of volurnability.

Like Rob Emanual said, they can't let a good crisis pass them by.

They need to take us down a peg and add additional stress while they can.

I don't buy anything unless it is from the grocery store.

Smorgas, You need to study American nuclear subs more. The diesel boats can easily be tracked and dealt with. They've been tracked and I'm sure that the commander of the battle group was ordered not to sink the boat.

The Chinese, smart folks that they are, are using 'old style' diesel-electric submarines now.

These are not the "U-boats" of WWII by any measure. These boats can stay down for up to 4 days before needing to resurface and recharge.

Unlike nuclear subs, which essentially are steam powered and make noise, the 'E-boats' (electric while submerged) are virtually silent.

Several times, Chinese E-boats have surfaced in the middle of US Navy aircraft carrier task forces off the coast of Asia, totally undetected until they pop up.

At least they don't hijack planes to fly into skyscrapers, eh?

This is just typical brinksmanship. China is not in the same league as the US in terms of military power, not even close. As regards the manufacturing jobs....China has to grow by 8% a year just to stand still and has a huge way to go to catch up with living standards here. This recession has actually hit them much harder than it has us so far and they are under cost threat of being underpriced by the likes of Vietnam. There should be no advantages given to US Companies to move jobs overseas in our tax structure but they will be ubale to undercut our labor costs for the foreseeable future.

I try so hard to buy American made, but folks, it is REALLY hard. I went to Catherine's the other day and bought some clothes. The countries that they use are Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, and then, I found this LOVELY shirt, a little pricey, but just loved it. Also, had a kick behind coupon, so said, you know what, I am treating me. Oh, and when I looked at the TAG, USA!!! I was so proud!!!

I just cringe when I find things from China. I try REALLY hard to not buy them.

If worse comes to worse we can nationalize all the stuff over here that the Chinese own.

Looks like north Korea is taking hostages. Maybe the're running short on oil again?

As for the Chinese, we're taking detailed sonar maps of waters near their coasts for strategic purposes (were can we move our subs to this week?) and possibly ruining fishing in that spot of ocean (noisy sonar!).

WB - many of us disagree with your assessment, but that's not what this blog is about.

"Every politician does that."

Maybe, but by dooming our economy for generations?

This is the first administration that I am aware of, that is putting the good of the nation at such per'il to acomplish their goal.
