*China is building it's military with every dollar we spend at the dollar store and on other items made in China.

*This is an economic war folks.

*It is not the Chinese people who are to blame, it is NAFTA and it began with the American business owners who are copping out and moving to China.

*We are sending all of our money right out of our communities, and people are losing jobs and homes.

*The Chinese Government is just "seemingly quiet" sitting there BUILDING IT'S MILITARY!!!!!!!!

*They are polluting their own Country with all of the toxic factory manufacturing, and the American companies get away from OSHA (OSHA's mission is to prevent injuries and protect the health of
America's workers by ensuring safe and healthful workplaces).

*So I can only imagine why is China building it's military. They will need a new country because theirs is getting more and more polluted and over populated.

*Have a heart folks, protect the Chinese workers and their environment, don't buy anything manufactured in China.

"What is different is their quality and standards, which haven't been up to American regulations or expectations..."

Heck Chinese manufacturing will even try to get away with toxic lead in Children's toys which leads to permanent neurological damage and even death.

Please folks, their government doesn't even protect it's own Chinese workers and this is also how American companies get away from paying health care and complying with OSHA.

Cheaper Manufacturing, Lower Standards.

It is an emonomic war...don't forget it...Chinese government is building it's military even at the cost of it's own environment, workers and agriculture.

Protect America in this Economic War.

What is worse, an American company manufacturing in China or a Chinese company manufacturing in America?
If the Chinese want to sell cars here, then they have to make them here. This is the line that needs to be held. It is only fair, didn't the Chinese, allegedly, require the same of Alticor.
Otherwise, if we receive cars manufactured in China, I am sure the recalls will be spectacular.

This is a test of hypocrocy:
How many of you China haters watched any of the Olympics?
I personally avoided any and all coverage of the Olympics because it was held in a country that cares absolutely nothing for any HUMAN rights.
Communists DON'T care about the well being of their population. It is and always will be a SLAVE state.

Buy nothing that is tainted by China!

It is just as much our fault as it is the Chinese. Remember, it is the AMERICAN companies exploiting the Chinese labor rates to manufacture their products. I work for a company that has been shipping manufacturing to China for years. DON'T blame the Chinese, they want the work like we want the work. They are willing to work for .90 cents an hour. Most of you won't step away from your welfare checks for less than $15.00 an hour. We are ALL to blame for this.
I challenge any of you to find an American made product. That Ford you're driving is probably made in Mexico. The Dodge you're driving is probably made in Canada. But yet the Toyota or Suburu you're driving is made in Indiana. The Honda is made in Ohio. Did kid youselves, people.

The big issue with Chinese cars in the past have been safety standards. They arent anywhere near what we require.

Are most Chinese companies controled by their gov? Big diff in .90 cents there vs here. And Toyota and Honda money goes back to where? Oil money goes back to?
So foreign countries suck up American businesses and real estate at a alarming rate. Who really is controling America? There is alot going on that the general public is not aware of.
