Stop on the buying import crap. No one yells about imports from Canada, our biggest trading partner. The amount of our GDP that lands in Chinese hands is staggeringly low percentage wise. 50% of all the money spent on Pacific Rim merchandise never leaves our shores. Profit, distribution and transportation will see to that.

I think that number is actually higher.

The number of trading partners we have is also staggering. People don't think about how much comes from India or all the fruit from Chile (millions of tons). People don't seem to be able to stop the flow of cash to Mexico and other SA nations. The Swiss pharmaceutical industry ought to be considered.

Bashing Chinese shoes is silly at this point in time.
