[shawn20062009]

HEY! Unbelievable? right? Obama is a lot more popular than Chairman Mao and Current President Hu jintao and PM wen jiabao. It is true! we know obama may hurt chinese because usa always want to maintain his no.1 position all over the world, USA don't need worry about it at all, but, still as a person or a president, Obama is most popular and welcome to china and chinese people

Why not open up manufacturing sites in those countries? Why would anybody?, China is a growning economy with the largest "potential" consumer group. If I could produce cheaply in the same country as my future consumer base, why not? That makes perfect sense. Why make it in Latin America just so you can incur more expenses by shipping the goods over to China.

My apologies for the name calling, that was uncalled for. America's bargaining power? It probably doesn't have much, if any. China is like a drug dealer, supplying us Americans with cheap goods. Sure you can ask Americans to buy American, but why pay a premium when you can get the same thing at half the price. Chinese save more and spend on what is needed. Americans are just pigs that outspend what they make. Welcome to American consumerism/capitalism. Good luck getting them to change.

Look, a man or woman can have anything they want, by putting their skills & knowledge to good use, & helping their own people to look beyond the horizon. I 'm here as a guide, so that you out there can make a difference in your lives & economy. There're many people out to make large profits & will do anything through their advertising & marketing savvy to get you to purchase things you don't really need. Think about saving your money & in the long run you help yourselves & those around you.

Ofcourse you have a choice my friend. It all starts with you, and your wants. You can weigh the pros and cons of purchasing a product. Ask yourself if it will better your life in the long run, and if you can live without it. The more foreign products you purchase, the higher the deficit becomes, and only the foreign distributors are the ones truly profiting here. Not you. Save that money for rainy days when you truly need it for your education, to purchase your own home, or for your pension.

I would suggest that you do without, until you can save and then purchase what you truly need. What are your basic needs? Food, shelter, clothing, utilities, transportation, communication, education, some entertainment & basic household items. What else do you really need? Plastic junk to fill up your house & spending time or money to dust it off the shelves? Stop showing off America & try to live simply. Focus on your basic needs, ethics & spirituality & you'll be very happy without stress.
