I went to a 4th of July parade where they gave out little American flags that said Made In Chine on the spine. So much for patriotism.

In New York, Statue of Librety gift shop, mini statues of librety are....Made in China!!

That's right we don't. 😉

The sense of superiority some Americans have will make it all the more funny when your economy completely collapses and China has to help you out.

If America's economy does collapse you will be in even more financial trouble on your little island. 😈

That's not imperialistic thinking at all.

They're becoming stronger, so we'll stop trading with them in order to beat them to the ground - God bless America.

Seriously, pick up anything in your house, including your computer and see where it is made.

Stop trading with China....ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Actually I'm thinking more on economic lines than military ones. I know everything's made in China...that's the problem. Long term it would be better for our economy if we stopped trading with them. If China were successful without us, more power to them.

If America's economy 'collapses completely', then China along with the rest of the world will be [financially] screwed too. Yes, even Scotland.

Edit: I see 'The Scribe' already pointed that little tidbit out.

Who cares..,babies cry and die America gets slick and fit
China grows and stews about it's own face value
all the mean while Iraq glows and blows
while hatred and envy boil all over
Usa gets fat lazy and just...a little bit crazy

But it's alright because we got bama now, he'll protect us right? Giving everyone free money. I say that's funny money.

And was a gift from the French...I don't recon Chinese ones were gift. More like ''sensible economics''.

Most cheap plastic trinkets are made in China and/or other Asian countries, glad we got that out of the way.

China has no choice but to help us, as does most of the world. Their reserves are based on the good ol US dollar which is depreciating in value. China holds large amounts of US debt that will only decrease in value and really can't get get rid of it since there is no market for it and plus would just make things worse. I can see why they would laugh at Geithner though. With our deficit increasing thanks to Obama's large spending we are going to be needing to borrow more money and just making things worse for both countries. GOTTA LOVE GLOBALIZATION 🙂
