Well, I don't know everything but here are some things ...\n\n1. They are building a new city the size of Philadelphia (1 million people) every month.  The Chinese economy is BOOMING.\n2. They can make furniture of same quality as Broyhill, and sell this furniture to Broyhill for the price Broyhill pays for just the wood in the US (The point is that China can make and export almost everything we make, for a tiny fraction of what it cost to make it in the US).\n3. Chinese national pride is HUGE, and so Chinese do not like to buy American.  But, Americans love to buy Chinese (Almost, everything you see in Walmart is Chinese.)\n4. China's military is getting ready to take back Taiwan (they have a HUGE military build up working in that direction).\n5. China's military is recruiting engineers at a very rapid rate.  Soon, they will have a VERY advanced military.\n6. China is making some strong treaties with Russia.\n7. China announced a few months ago that they are launching 300 satelites "to watch their people".  You don't need 300 satelites for a country that size.  300 satelites are enough to watch the whole world.\n\nSo, to summarize . . . The US has become the middle man of the world economy, and China is the manufacturing center.  If the world decides to cut us out and buy Chinese at the same time the world decides that the US should pay $10 or $20 per gallon for gas (which may happen), then China becomes the new World Power and the US becomes a third world country full of starving people (of course, WWIII might come first).\n\nPray that our next president is a great diplomat and not a John Wayne want-a-bee.

Depends on what kind of products and from which country.\nMost manufactured products are from the east, specifically china. Go to any china directory and you should be able to get the suppliers you need.\nHere's one famous one called alibaba.

well there was this guy named captain john smith and he sent a bunch of people to america (he paid for there ship and their supplies and all that stuff) to find gold and siver and find a easy way to trade with china and japan.then when they didnt find any thing they figured there has to be a way to make money.so they made a glass factory.and that made a little money.but then they found tobaco in virgina (which was where they were at in america) and they started to sell that and that made tons of money (they didnt know it was bad though).so then these people in america found out that they needed help so they went over to china and started taking people and selling them to help the people get the tobaco. (the people that brought the slaves over where called the dutches)and then 200 years later in the 1800's the south thought slavery was wrong and the north thought it wasnt so then they got into a fight and eventually slavery was mostly ended. (any question about this you dont get e-mail me at cool_dude6490@yahoo.com)

Australia, China sign uranium safeguards, export deals - \n\n  \n \n(Updating to add quotes) \n\nCANBERRA (AFX) - Australia and China have signed a landmark nuclear safeguards pact, opening the way for massive exports of uranium to fuel China's booming nuclear power industry. \n\nThe agreement on 'co-operation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy' was one of eight co-operation deals signed in the presence of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and his Australian counterpart John Howard, Agence France-Presse reported. \n\nAustralia is the world's largest source of uranium, with nearly 40 pct of known reserves, and today's agreement is worth billions of dollars to the country. \n\nAustralian officials said the nuclear deal would lead to exports of 20,000 tons of uranium to China per year -- double Australia's current exports of the radioactive material. \n\nBut they said the shipments would not start before 2010 since Australia's current production of uranium is already committed in existing contracts and it will take time to expand output. \n\nEnvironmental groups including the opposition Greens party have challenged the deal, saying that Australian supplies of uranium would permit China to divert more of its domestic production of the material to its nuclear weapons program. \n\n'Australian uranium will support Chinese nuclear weapons either directly or indirectly because China does not have enough uranium to support both,' said Greens Senator Christine Milne. \n\nBut Wen insisted China would honor the safeguards pact and its responsibilities under international atomic energy and non-proliferation treaties. \n\n'We believe these safeguard mechanisms will ensure that the nuclear co-operation will not be used for non-peaceful purposes,' he said during a joint press conference with Howard. \n\nHoward also said he was 'satisfied that the safeguards that are there will be enforced'. \n\nWen and Howard both hailed the burgeoning relations between their nations. \n\n'I feel that China-Australia relations have never been as good as they are today,' Wen said. \n\n'There are no issues left over from history and there are no cultural matters standing in the way of our bilateral relations,' he said through an interpreter. \n\nHoward said the nuclear and other commercial deals signed today highlighted the rapidly developing relationship between Canberra and Beijing. \n\n'Of all the important relationships that Australia has with other countries, none has been more greatly transformed over the last 10 years than our relationship with China,' Howard said. \n\nOther agreements signed by Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer covered initiatives to expand exchanges in areas of science, sport and culture. \n\nWen said the two governments also agreed to step up negotiations on a free trade agreement, though he said this would take a number of years to complete.

This is, of course, not a comprehensive answer, but any business that trades with people or businesses in other nations is part of the international economic system.\n\nFor example, Nike is based in Portland, Oregon. It's a publicly traded company, so theoretically it's owned by any number of people in any number of places. These are it's shareholders. It's shoes are designed by designers and engineers in the US mainly or possibly Japan or Canada or something. That shoe is analyzed by marketing people in the US and other offices of the company.\n\nThen the plans are sent to Nike's suppliers. These could be anywhere, but they tend to be in poorer countries (Mexico, Thailand, China) that have good infrastructure (health care, working roads, stable electricity, stuff like that.) This is because it's cheaper to make shoes where you don't have to pay as high wages but you can still move stuff around easily and depend on communications. The suppliers will acquire the materials they need. For a shoe, this includes rubber, leather, metal, cloth, plastic, etc. Leather can come from anywhere with cows. This would likely be Brazil, Canada or the US. Rubber comes primarily from Indonesia and South East Asia. Plastic is made of oil, which comes from Iran, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, etc. It can be refined and turned into plastic in a lot of places. Let's say this oil comes from Brunei, in South East Asia, and is refined in the Philippines. Let's say the rubber comes from Indonesia. The Leather comes from Australia. And so on. All this is taken to a factory, let's say in China. Workers make it all into shoes. These are shipped out to be sold in South Korea and Italy and South Africa and Argentina and South Dakota and a million other places.\n\nThe part of the price of the shoe that isn't spent on materials or taken out by the store goes to Nike. This is Nike's profits. If Nike keeps making profits and increasingly high profits, shareholders will keep buying "stock" in Nike. Nike has to keep making profits, so it has to keep finding the cheapest way to make shoes and the cheapest way to make the most people buy the most shoes at the highest prices. That's the way it looks for Nike.\n\nIf you go backward, to the stores that sell the shoes, then you see that each of these stores is a link between a huge company and the local economy. People in the town or county buy the shoes and other people work in the stores. The suppliers in China link Nike to people in China and South East Asia. Chinese workers are paid (however small their wages are) and spend their money to buy food, clothes and stuff like that. This money goes into the local economy of Zhangwen or whatever. Then if we go back to Rubber workers in Indonesia, they are injecting shoe money into their local economy.\n\nYou can see that this shoe company involves people in many countries, but that it is all part of a huge complicated system. The economy now involves almost everyone on earth, so it is incredibly hard to predict how something will happen if 6,400,000,000 are all participating in the process. That is why economists so often disagree or end up wrong.\n\nMaking things and selling them is pretty straight forward compared to resources (like oil), currencies (like when people say the "dollar is weaker"), or finances (banks that loan money across the world and stuff like that). When you get into those sort of things, you're often dealing with what a lot of people think in New York or London, instead of actual events.\n\nFor example, if Bush says something about a war with Iran, the price of oil can go up. Not because oil is harder to get, but because a lot of Commodities Traders on Wall Street (Commodities are things like oil or gold that people can buy or sell) think oil will get harder to get. They might be right. If the US invaded Iran, it would make it harder to get oil, because a lot of pipe lines

U.S. has a multi-million dollar trade deficit to China. 1/2 the stuff in your home has, "Made in China" stamped/stickered on the back. They are mass producing everything. Yes, many of the items labeled that way are produced in Taiwan, which is still technically part of China. The reason they are growing so quickly is because of your own noted, "growth at all costs ideology". People in China work for China. People in U.S. work for themselves, their own promotion. Education here has taken a sharp turn for the worse, so next generation of workers may not be as shrewd or competitive.

You have to go there.  Either you will get someone who will over charge you, or you will get someone shoddy.  Go to China, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, or Shanghai, once you're there it is not difficult at all, there are number of publications and sources to find producers in China.  Their trade commission may also help you as well as the embassy of your native country.
