Oh ok. Gotcha. yeah, I'm not too keen on Romney's point on China. I think it is silly to press the point of China being a currency manipulator. I mean for Heaven's sake, who are we to get mad at anyone else for manipulating their currency? The US of A is the mother of all currency debasers. So it's a bit like the pot calling the kettle black. As far as getting mad at China cheating, yes, I can support that. But we need to walk a fine line there. I think coming down hard on Huawei and ZTE and potential telecom entanglements with China is VERY important, because the telecommunications and networking industry can be used as strategic weapons against the US and threaten our infrastructure, economy, and national security. That's where our focus should be. And we should always look out to make sure the trading between our countries is done on a level playing field. But Romney really needs to drop the whole currency manipulation thing. That's just plain disingenuous.
