I'll ask this again-

Let me get this straight. You want the President of the United States to fly Air Force One to China and apologize, on Chinese National TV, for China attacking and stealing one of our planes in international airspace and kidnapping and imprisoning 24 American service people?

Well the stuff my kids have is plastic junk and it all says "Made in China". I know there's other stuff (shoes, apparel, machine tools, etc...) but none of it has to come from China. I'm fairly certain that whatever manufactoring techniques they now have came from Taiwan, Japan, or the West.

Those goods could be made in those other countries, albeit at a slightly higher price. It took 20+ years for Iran to resume sales of their non-oil products (rugs, etc.) to the US. If the Communist won't give up our boys and aircraft soon they can expect similiar treatment.
