So do I but the problem is that the policies and politics of China DO effect our economy. And all our dealings with China on a poliical level will
effect our economy as well. International trade being what it is and all ....
BTW - the reason Bush is going to the Olympics is because if he doesn't, then China will take offense and slap up upside the head economically. They
can do it. They hold our loans and they make our products.
It's all connected. Unfortunately.
