Exactly how much crap will Americans take from China?

Inferior products, egregious human rights violations, and mid level officials bashing the dollar; when will enough be enough? As our relationship with china becomes more and more connected it also becomes more strained. It started with pet food, then Thomas the tank, tires, the ever-popular antifreeze toothpaste, and the latest development, date rape aqua-dots. And that’s just the crizap they are trying to sell me, I personally am far more concerned about labor camps and re-education programs, the lack of personal family planning rights, and environmental problems. China is horribly polluting the Yangtze River its “lifeline” with dredging, industrial pollutants, and over fishing, costing the earth one of its oldest aquatic mammals, the Yangtze River dolphin earlier this year. The Chinese stock market is precariously teetering on the verge of a huge correction from a feeding frenzy of IPO’s and over-valuation, due to government manipulations of the exchange rate and refusal to appreciate the Yuan. We have a country with mobile death chambers for its citizenry, but as a government won’t make efforts to regulate its manufacturing sector. China’s Boom is being built at the expense of millions of Chinese citizens who do not have many fundamental rights, and that bothers me. So what’s a gal to do? Well from now on I am making sure all of my inferior crap goods come from India. Oh, wait a minute……..
