When I buy products Made in China, am I helping an oppressive communist govt make money??
Isn't it true that when I try to come out cheap by buying Chinese made stuff, it will end up costing me more, because the Chinese stuff breaks within a couple of years so then I have to buy a new one? Isn't it also true that while I'm trying to save a few bucks buying Chinese stuff, it ends up costing me more at the pump, because when I support Chinese products, it creates wealth there, which in turn leads more people to buy cars there, which in turn leads China to buy up more gas, which then leads to higher gas prices? So then, why would I be so stupid and buy Chinese made stuff?

Yes, yes and yes. It is amazing how blissfully unaware America has become regarding the products made by Communist China. I grew up during the Cold War and the US didn't do business deals with communists...until that is....Nixon opened up trade with them.
2 :
yes it does. however, Chinese products are everywhere here in America. so if you really want to avoid that stuff really research the products that you have.

Actually, you're helping an oppressive business owner make money.

China People are in the rigth way, they came from Comunist rule to an open market/ free market and entrepenuars China and India are in this rigth way, so they produce very cheap................... other countrys , because state regulation : Welfare and Warfare, are in the wrong direction................... International trade , give international Wealth For example : if you buy cheeap, your safe are going to another product, and another pocket................ For example : China get more dollars, they change dollar and they buy treasury bonus US Open markets are good for everyone

Well, we are all guilty of growing the economy of a potential rival for global resources. We are already feeling this in the oil, and metals markets. This will only worsen as more and more manufacturing finds its way to China and the US loses some of its purchase volume leverage for these commodities. And as China's wealth grows, it continues to build up what will eventually be the dominant Asian Navy, which will ultimately challenge US Naval Power in that region of the globe. A powerful Chinese Navy is critical to any plans China may have for securing Taiwan. There are consequences for our actions folks. Everytime we put profit margin ahead of patriotism, we put our nation at risk. And think back to 1930's Japan...as we sold them millions of scrap metal that found its way back to us.... Falling prices might not be the only thing that falls as a result of this relationship...

Yes. Yes you are. And if you didn't notice, you're making Al Gore rich too! And yes, we are competing with them. And yes, there is a trade imbalance which cheapens the dollar and raises the price of oil because they are using a lot of oil there too.

isuppose you could buy goods made in pakistan and endorse chlid slavery or viet nam or mexico. who else produces anything?
8 :
yes, but if you decide not to buy chinese goods, you will be letting U.S. businesses not be competitive. If you decide to not buy a product purely because it's froma country you don't like, then you'll let American companies get away with not competing in the global marketplace. This just ends up being a problem because when it comes to competition, America must be able to handle competition. Also, China might be evil and be communist but they are steadily reaching to a point where they are open to the Idea of Westernized type society. If we choose to derail that sort of growth by choosing not to trade with them, they will revert to an maoist government that could actually be a threat to its neighbors and the West.
