Certainly some truth on that statement but keep in mind China is the number one importer of soy beans and we are the number one exporter with soy bean facilities all over the globe. They stop sending us goods we stop sending them food. Seems like the US would be in the winning side of that conundrum. 

We have our own means to wage silent war. One in six mouths to feed on this Earth are Chinese. They're getting chubby too. $$$$ + global access = Western diets. Pull the soybeans and nail those suckers with all you can eat twinkies and soda and watch their society imploded with a cardio vascular health crisis.

Lots of people have no problem buying their crap. Some of them are union members that post here regularly. 

I guess all that bs about supporting american workers doesn't apply to them.

Brazil has thousands of acres of soy beans and china is their big buyer. And china has adopted our eating habits when they let the golden arches move in.

They are starting to have trouble with obesity especially in children, eating too many of those rotten french fries that are nothing but grease, starch and salt.

Obesity in america has surpassed smoking as the number one problem, really the fast food joints is Americas biggest enemy, people are fat and they don't want to work.

Mc Donalds, Burger Stench, Taco Smell, Pizza Smut and the rest have produced food that is total garbage. Two egg Mc Stuffins and you just ate half your days intake

in calories. I think the object in america is to gain weight not loose it. Women with a roll above the waist line--how many do you see in a Sandals Caribbean add. None

because no one wants to see that.

China needs our food why do think they bought Smithfield the largest pork processor in the US, if the Demodumbasses stopped giving away everything to China we would not be in this mess and China would be sucking up to us but no we have to be a global leader of give everything away, we don't really need crap from anyone we just need to get our ducks lined up and do our thing, we use to produce everything so don't tell me we can't do it again, just more liberal BS. once again put the big girl panties on or be seen not heard.

And just where are we to find all these "American made" parts?

Case in point, '98 Ford Ranger I've been working on this summer- Great truck but Ford ran out of half the parts years ago- I've had emergency brake cables on back order since 2003! I shop all the usual aftermarket suppliers from NAPA on down, sometimes I can find Mexican parts, but often the only parts available are Chinese. I actually have better luck finding non-Chinese parts for my VWs because VW and their owners are a fussy lot.

exactly. people are cheap and would rather spend $5 for a china part than $25 for an american made part. 

so there are no more american made parts. even though you will replace that china made part 10 times before you have to replace the american made part.

 I use to be a Republican but I'm an independent now-and not everything boils down to liberal BS or conservative BS. Most is just straight BS.

True but US companies (CHS, Cargill, Peavy, Con Agra) own many if not most of the soy bean facilities.  So it’s still US owned companies that mostly control the buying, selling and shipping of soy beans.
