> What it sounds like you're upset about is actually the growth of international trade and deindustrialization in the US. You're putting it in crude and xenophobic terms: China taking advantage of the US. Actually, what it sounds like is that I was correcting you on on oversimple model you were using to make the point to another poster that everything is peachy.

Just point the finger at the foreign workers earning their pennies an hour Yet another actor that's missing from your model is CCP policy makers.
