This is what has always bothered me about Chinese trade, along all the 
rest of globalization.  It's a question of burden of proof.

When a system is proposed to transition from one state (almost no trade 
with China) to another (unlimited one-sided trade with China), it rests 
upon those eager to make the change to demonstrate that it's a good 
thing.  It's just that simple.

That's why it does no good, and even resembles evasion of the issue, to 
question an opposing opiner's mental competence, when the burden of 
proof still waits pendulously upon you, to tell us why it's such a great 
thing now that virtually everything comes from China.

B. C. will forever be remembered as the American president who traded 
American jobs (or at least risked them) to keep communism afloat, when 
so many of our military (whom he "loathes") worked so hard to crush it.  
Way to go!
