America or called United States, has three items of vast importance (sarc) that we export to China; soybeans/grains, trash and aircraft. Soy to feed the hogs and trash to reclaim resources. Even the Chinese empty our land of resources through our trash, as we look around with blinders on, like we can afford it…

(Figures in US$ millions)
Oilseeds and grains: 16,546
Waste and scrap: 9,526
Aerospace products and parts: 8,367

Computer equipment: 68,815
Communications equipment: 51,857
Miscellaneous manufactured commodities: 32,644
Now this was 2012 and the situation has gotten worse not better. The Chinese see us as Hogs and utilize our waste products as fertilizer for their economy. The Chinese also are making their own aircraft now so the days of buying Boeing are about done…
Mister warmonger of America says, “…And this is why WW3 is necessary. If the west doesn’t stop Russia and China (and the other BRICS) we will not be able to stop them. The bigger picture is the limitation of economic growth and population growth. The world’s wealth must be confined to the west and the rest of the world’s population must be dramatically reduced to insure our safety…”
And these wackos are serious…
Did you know? How about a tidbit of interesting news! China will now export cars to America, these cars are well made and very good. I see them in Russia all the time and they will change the market, just like the Japanese did many years ago…
I believe that the point of stopping (WW3 or not) them (the world) is past and the blinders have been on too long for America to see or care. We just stumble through life as Zombies. Zombies fed by the government. Besides, if we don’t have what it takes to keep up, we deserve to lose…
Seriously people we are world known now as the breadbasket, an air hangar, and a garbage heap…
More serious; what happened to us?
The powerhouse of the world to the scrap king of the world. You just can not make this stuff up…

There is only one thing that matters to U.S. shoppers: price, price, price, and price. If there’s a product (A) that costs ten dollars and was made in China and product (B) that costs eleven dollars and was made in America, even if the job provided was to the next door neighbor whose kids play with the consumer’s kids, that US consumer will buy the ten-dollar product…
Add to that, the lousy education system that makes American workers dumb as rocks, who can not work at high-tech jobs; add to that the sense of entitlement that prevents Americans from taking tedious, repetitive jobs on assembly lines, and you have what happened to consumer electronics decades ago: we no longer make anything in the United States to do with consumer electronics. Nothing. We’ve gotten away with this for a while, but we’re on our way to being a country that was once wealthy enough to pay others to make our stuff , when we’re no longer wealthy enough to do that, we’ll have lost the skill set to make our own stuff. It’s going to be a rude awakening…
