Hi Buddy, Re: the US was trying to 'encircle' the Asian economies for the purpose of keeping them 'poor' was faulty. I wasn't trying to imply that we were attempting to prevent economic growth in China. More to the point, we are trying to contain their territorial expansionism (remember Tibet?) and military hegemony of the region. We will certainly be trading with them, and would hope their consumer sector can suck up some of our manufactures, especially airplanes and other big ticket items sold by multinationals. So that the profits flow not to the American public but to the coffers of foreign domiciled corporations that pay good money for the politicians they own in Washington. -Ray
