[quote=jpinpb]Thanks for those links, flu. Of course I know about Craftsman. And I actually have New Balance. I was not aware of Bose. Good to know.
But as I said earlier, companies anywhere are not making a whole lot off me. I’m no major consumer. I’m speaking in general, about just the occasions I’m out shopping around, when you check the label of items, you will find many items that are made in China.
To answer your questions about why, say, target China, because they have now overpowered everyone. From what I understand the other problem is that companies don’t typically repatriate their funds, so the money never really makes its way back here.

Not that I support China and am pro-china…But isn’t this what the U.S. did to latin america/south america, by enslaving some of those countries to debt, and by artificially screwing with prices so low that it drove local businesses out of business? We are hardly a model nation for not demostrating exploitation.
It seems like this fear is more a fear of others doing to us what we have done to other people…
(I guess some would say this is karma, though I’m not someone who would agree, since I think karma is bullshit personally).
