You're kiddin', right? How 'bout: Unfair trade policies (USA), currency
manipulation, outsourcing of USA jobs, loss of tax revenues, boot-leg
designs.... etc. .... ad nauseum.

What is perceived as being good for corporate America has to be good for the
rest of us. The stock market has never been higher (or based on less in the
way of brick and mortar or technology). We are at a point right now that
China can pull the plug on the US whenever it will be to their advantage.

And we can thank corporate America for funding the election campaigns that
made it all possible...

Watch out what you wish for! If you didn't have Chinese goods, you wouldn't
have anything to buy. The labor unions in this country drove manufacturers
out of business! The unreasonable demands for pay and perks caused our goods
to become no expensive that nobody could buy them.
In this hobby, almost everything is being made in China. You don't like the
prices now? Then put trade restrictions and tariffs on China and hang on to
your hat. You won't be able to afford to stay in this hobby.
Remember, for every item that comes from China, the importer sells it to a
distributor. A profit is made which goes into our economy. The distributor
sells it to the dealer, the dealer sells it to the modeler. Profits at each
step going into our economy. You want to bring our economy down? Simple,
screw around with Chinese imports!
