As a matter of fact, against the wishes of the American people due to their brutal crackdown on dissidents. But the people were ignored, and our Government helped China become a huge economic force in the world by allowing US Corporations to use child labor in that country. I have always been horrified by our Government's close ties to that Government. So forgive me if I don't see the sudden 'dealing with the Chinese is a crime' as something I believe. Maybe if those same voices had been raised against any dealing with the Chinese before this, we could have used the help, it might mean something.
Instead anytime the issue was raised we got lectures on 'Capitalism' and how this was one great thing Nixon did.
They sure know a lot about how our laws get passed to bolster the Big Corporations which benefits them, and from what we are learning, Chinese Businesses will have a say in how our laws are written under the New and Secret Trade Agreement.
So what's the big deal re China? Other than to try to dredge up old animosities towards the 'commies' which have long ago been argued against by the very people now screaming 'CHINA, TRAITOR'!
