Because our politicians, both parties, have sold us out.

Why would they buy overpriced underquality items?\nIsn't that why you import everything from China in the first place?

2 ways comes to my mind, first is a sanction like what US is doing against Iran by forcing American companies not to work with Iran(I must add that there are many American companies active in Iran, most of them do this via their europe offices)\nThe second way is what China do to US, China attacks US markets all over the world with cheap high quality good.\nThey don't give a sh*t about Brands or Copyright and Trademarks.

If Americans would only wise up to the inbalence of imports vs Exports we are importing way to much and from country's that buy little in return, what kinda global benifit business plan is that? one where USA comes out short! Boycott all products for China,Japan,Indoneasia,India Etc they must buy more from us then we from them to win the economic battle! It is that simple or you get your butt kicked look at Detroit!Hell ya we need to bring back manufactoring base here and pay workers wages that are prosperous. exterminate the nay sayers who want it all for their greedy old money asses!

china has the largest economy in the world & thus the largest working population followed by India so if china& europe dont take these 2 countries seriously they will land into trouble since also offers products at cheap rates

You said it, and mentioned the dangers and benefits for China.  They get the technology, and the jobs. Plus they don't allow much importing, unless some of the process is there.  The exception is raw materials.  They actually have the right idea.  Eventually US politicians are going to let everything leave the US, and we will loose in the long run.  One day, China will be the only super-power.  I just hope I'm gone before that happens.

IHave wondered the same thing. I think it is due to the influx of merchandise in the retail stores from China and India, etc. It seems like everything we are buying is from Asia. And don't anybody say buy American, the prices of American made goods are outrageous compared to foreign ones. I wouldn't be able to make it if I had to buy only American and most people wouldn't either.

China is pretty smart... I think we can all agree they have an artifically devalued currecy, which gives them a nice advantage in the world market, but hey it's not like the U.S. doesn't have some nice advatages too. I worry a lot about human rights issues there and I wish they could maybe set a little better example for Southeast Asia. But as for it's role in the international community, it's a billion people, huge workforce for potentially cheap labor and huge market for imported goods. The needs are pushing up the prices for goods internationally though, like oil, but hey that's consumerism.

Cause poor people from states that vote for Republicans go to wal mart and buy stuff that is made in China.\n\nThats a smart @ss answer, but essentially,  up until about a month ago I was all oh my gosh China is the enemy.\n\nChina just wants to sell America goods cause it makes them money.\nThey have a problem in that their one child policy is going to cause a shift in population to where they have a lot of elderly.\n\nEssentially the same thing here, with the baby boomers about to suck off social security.\n\nChina has a big air force,  and they are the second largest nation that is a consumer of oil on the world market, but . .\nthe biggest buyer of Chinese goods on the world stage is the United States.\n\nSo you say what about that they own 350 billion of US debt?\n\nTo that I say, I voted for Kerry who would have raised taxes reducing our need to borrow from foreign entities.\n\nIn short, stop being an @ss yourself and playing the liberal bad conservative good game.\n\nIts politically fashionable to say o no the President is selling these ports to the arabs, have you jumped on that bandwagon too?\n\nI'm defending the President on this.  Its a private transaction to sell the management not the security of the port to a firm.\n\nKuwait and Dubai own stock in Chrysler, but no one freaks out over that ownership.

Because things bought from foreign manufacturer are actually american products manufactured in other countries by american companies.

Part of it has to due with their huge population. A lot of jobs have been outsourced to China because they can make it cheaper because they don't have things like a minimum wage like America. Therefore they can always "find someone else" to fill a job.

You shouldn't analyze something so much. The toy was made in China because labor is cheaper in China....but they put "made in China" so that people know...it was made in China. If something is made in the U.S. it usually has more value, because it took more money to make it...you get the point. But no, I don't think it has anything to with wanting children to know anything about China

First, I am assuming that by "computers", you mean a relatively new (after 2000) home computer... and that by "America", you are referring to the USA.\n\nThat is like asking... "where can I buy a car without any foreign parts?"... you can't!... but seriously, if you want anything that is 100% American made, you pretty much have to build it yourself (from scratch)... even if you were to buy a computer that is "made in the USA", its components, such as transistors, capacitors, resistors, ect... (probably most of them) are almost certainly foreign... so really, they are only assembled in the US (as is sadly the case with most "made in the USA" labeled products)... and even if you were to find one that was truly made in the USA, there's a near certainty that a good portion of its design was done overseas... and even if you were find one that was made, and designed in the USA... you would be hard pressed to find (any) "brand name" software (including the operating system) that was 100% coded in the USA... and (yet another exemption), assuming everything I mentioned above was done in America, you would have great difficulty to find one that wasn't at some point shipped, assembled, sold, or anything else by an illegal alien...\n\nIf someone told me to find such a computer, or be shot, I would probably take the second offer, rather than search my entire life for something that probably doesn't exist.\n\nIf you want ane american made home computer, go to a museum.
