Jay, perhaps if Haim didn't think of China and Chinese as some weird commie cult and actually got to know a few people on a personal basis, maybe he'd be a bit more circumspect about wanting to blow them up, blockade their harbours, destroy their external road and rail and maybe the internal infrastructure too if his aim is to damage the economy, not just "protect" Americans from the hard work, thrift and low pay of China.
It seems very weird to me to "protect" oneself against honest toilers doing a great job. I spend a lot of time seeking them so that I can buy good products and services at low prices. If I find that some decent person who really needs the money and is appreciative of the business is the best supplier, instead of some arrogant rich capitalist pig with a machine and a bad attitude, then I'm extra pleased to give them the business.
However, being a capitalist with a machine producing CDMA2000 phragmented photon ASICs for cyberphones, I'm hopeful that I'll persuade a billion Chinese that I'm not arrogant, nor a pig, nor do I have a bad attitude and that they should buy from me, and not from a GSM or other low quality suppliers, or runners with messages.
I think they shouldn't even bother developing TD-SCDMA, which is a local Chinese formulation of CDMA which is intended to create local technology for a protected market. Silly, I know, but that's what they are planning to try. They'd do better to use the huge Chinese market to give themselves vast economies of scale to export huge amounts of CDMA2000 stuff. Nobody outside China will buy TD-SCDMA. It's like Japan's PHS stuff and other local technologies.
It is indeed a small world and shrinking rapidly.
