China, Concubines and Google

Some 2,400 years ago, a Chinese king invited a legendary military strategist named Sun Tzu to give a demonstration in military training — using women from the palace.

Your comments suggest the probale effect on fair trade to the Chinese. By fair trade i mean the rejection of currency manipulation by the Chinese. But what of the effect on the U.S.A. If we don't start insisting on fair trade and impose sanctions accordingly, and also include some moral penalties for such unfair practices as prison labor, the result in the U.S. will continue to be a loss of manufacturing jobs. The Obama administration has started to push back, but the job really belongs to the American people to start boycotting Chinese goods.
