That's not even a consideration in China. And as harsh as it sounds, they don't wring their hands about bulldozing a village to make way for a factory that will produce far more wealth for the country than that village will. Our current regime is perfectly willing to throw 1000 Boeing employees in SC out of work just to teach them a lesson and buy some more union support. That stuff doesn't happen in China.

We're saying the same thing. Chinese have the 'nads and the vision to focus on what will achieve the goal(s). If they were put in charge of our economy, there is no question in my mind they would limit access to our markets.
