China threatens sanctions against the U.S.

I believe the idea of China's economy being seriously shaken with the dollars devaluation is misplaced. An article I came across from Oct.2009 noted the "fatherly" recommendation of the state to encourage citizens toward purchasing precious metals with their hard days wage. The Old man himself has invested a substantial amount of monetary reserves in the shiny stuff. Thus allowing them to shore up Asian lending agents with actual wealth purchased from the liquidation of artificially elevated dollars before the world follows suit. Coincidentally, China has also been busy gourging itself to complacentcy on resources from the global market place to stock pile for further domestic production. No argument in that they will choke down a glut of treasury bonds purchased from the land of the distracted, but relative to the "fair and balanced" state of our currency, margins begin to shrink.
The question then becomes: Why sponser such a lifestyle only to have it squandered by a pampered populace, impotent in their complacentcy, vowing subordination under corrupt dolts who pervert and distort the very rule of law they force upon other nations with all the fury of a rabid wolf? Perhaps they see some value to exploit within this wolf. Its soul is consummed by greed resulting in an unsettling propensity for irrational aggression to feed itself. What if the beast were reliant on us for food? It may then become a useful pet, after all this forest is unfamiliar to us. So food is provided. Eventually the animal's insatialble appetite, coupled with an occasional growl directed at the masters, grows tiresome. Having cleared the trees enough to allow for a clear view of the field, the village begins to rethink the value of the arrangment. Now this simple creature, being managed for so long, has neither the will nor knowledge to feed himself. Time to release the thing back to the wild. It will remember how to hunt on its own, or fall victim to the predators kept at bay just beyond the treeline. The wolf is of little use to the village now that all threats have been tactfully abated.
To the dismay of this nation, our running joke of a government has forgotten that while the strong may rule the weak, the smart will always rule the strong.
Just a fleeting thought.
No matter where the actual circumstance of our compromised situation may lie, keeping our uniformed patrots engaged in an expensive and meaningless charade abroad is nothing short of treasonous. Those men and women will never forget how to hunt. God keep them well until they reunite with the pack where they are truly needed.

Bump for more discussion

with this,Transportation of all goods in the country have now become dependent on the supply of tires from China,We cannot make enough tires in this country or import enough from other counties to meet the demand.
also there are many sizes that we need that are not made here or anywhere else but China.It takes years to set up to make a certain size.This could be a major Transportation and cost issue that will affect everything that is Transported.
This could be very bad as a whole.

Now where will all the American kids get their Lead painted toys and melamine tainted candy ?

wow. that sucks. now, we're in the middle of two cry baby police states.

China and the U.S. are woven together like threads in fabric; we need each other, primarily for trade and business.

This could be a lousy situation if it escalates, though.
