Obama & Clinton China Bashing Chasing Votes

Democratic Presidential candidates Barry Obama & Hilliary Clinton continue to pander to voters and bash China, supporting isolationist policies of the past, blaming the free market place for economic woes in the United States.

While these short sighted addresses may sit well with small minded and short sighted Liberal voters, the fact of the matter is, China is an important trading partner with the United States and our economy would be devastated without our Asian friends.

Both Obama & Clinton have criticized the Bush Administration's Trade Policy on China at the "Alliance for American Manufacturing Forum" in Pittsburgh, PA on April 14---Senator Obama called Bush "...a patsy in terms of trade negotiations with China..." while Senator Clinton promised to take her complaints to the WTO.

Senator's Obama & Clinton have endorsed the Stabenow-Bunning Trade bill, complaining that China manipulates its currency allowing Chinese goods to enter the United States more cheaply.

While inexpensive products may be good for consumers keeping prices low, both Obama & Clinton want American consumers to pay more for goods and services manufactured by Union Workers being paid Union Wages that drive up prices.

China bashing may win Democratic votes but is bad policy for a variety of reasons. We live in a global economy and are dependent on trade with our friends and world wide neighbors. 10 Reasons Why China Matters To You.

China currently invests $1.4 Trillion Dollars in U.S. Securities, should China ever decide that enough is enough and to divest it's assets into other markets, consider the impact that would have on the U.S. economy?

Both Obama & Clinton complain to complain, attempting to out do one another while chasing votes---words do matter and Liberal Isolationist policies could forever damage the American landscape and cripple the U.S. economy.

Democrats are promising Change? Are you sure that America can afford the Changes being promised?

This is a thin line that the United States is riding...whoever gets into office needs to be very careful to not upset the balance.

CristyLi,

I don't want to seem dismissive of your blog. I spent 4 years in south Korea and while I was there had the distinct pleasure of meeting two Korean refugees that had escaped North Korea and were visiting my then girlfriends mother. They were her mothers cousins and had not seen her mother since the beginning of the Korean War and were visiting Korea on a limited visa from China. Whew... the emotions present in that room are overwhelming to me even as I think about it now.

I was stationed in Korea during the time of Tienamen Square. As a soldier I wanted us to do something but I knew it was none of our business... that nothing could be done. After several conversations in later years with more reasonable voices and hearts of Chinese Americans I have to conclude along with them that grass roots movements are to be prefered over social upheaval.

Now I am just as saddened by the earthquake and devistation brought by nature but I'm proud of the reports I'm hearing of some lower level party leaders who are being of service in their communities. Today I will pray for China... and one day I hope to visit China.
