Hello Haim, just to add further confusion to your strongly believed-in facts, I refer you to these four articles, indicating that:
Message 19351220 "China's Trade Partners Seek to Maintain Links - Amid Heated Rhetoric, Some Moderate Tone To Preserve Access to Markets, Labor"
Message 19351216 "Latin America Gets Boost From China's Success"
Message 19351261 "Japanese Industry Holds Dueling Views of China - Economic Relationship Presents Opportunity, Market Challenges"
Message 19351226 "Chinese animated over computer graphics"
All of it says to me is that free-willed trade is good and welcomed by the global investing and consuming electorates. Nations are reverting to what they are good at doing. There are not many niche industries safe from inexpensive obedient labour, systemic friendliness towards enterprise and business, and natural curiosity based talent liberated from thought police, all enabled by governments that are growing smaller as they reform, restructure, and reappraise.
In any case, it doesn't sound as if the nuke is the answer.
In fact, the facts suggest that the US government ought to encourage US industries to invest in China before it is too late to do so, in order to save US industrial competitiveness.
