Hey Zeus Freaking Christine....... we're not trying to counter shit from China we're giving it to them freely, and the flipping thing is the GOP wants to say the Dems are lefties yet the GOP refuses to raise tariffs, refuses to force China to recognize human rights or face trade embargoes..... Hell, no, the freaking GOP claims "capitalism" and sits back with a grin as we ship our jobs and money over there.....

I don't think it's such an unrealistic statement.

WASHINGTON - An influential foreign-policy neo-conservative with long-standing ties to top hawks in the administration of President George W Bush has laid out what he calls ''a checklist of the work the world will demand of this president and his subordinates in a second term.''
The list, which begins with the destruction of Fallujah in Iraq and ends with the development of ''appropriate strategies'' for dealing with threats posed by China, Russia and ''the emergence of a number of aggressively anti-American regimes in Latin America,'' also calls for ''regime change'' in Iran and North Korea.
The list's author, Frank Gaffney, the founder and president of the Center for Security Policy (CSP), also warns that Bush should resist any pressure arising from the anticipated demise of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to resume peace talks that could result in Israel's giving up ''defensible boundaries.''
While all seven steps listed by Gaffney in an article published Friday morning in the 'National Review Online' have long been favored by prominent neo-cons, the article itself, 'Worldwide Value', is the first comprehensive compilation to emerge since Bush's re-election Tuesday.
Neo-Con Agenda: Iran, China, Russia, Latin America...

The GOP won't do anything about
trade because their corporate benefactors are making a killing shipping jobs overseas and paying their workers 30 cents an hour. Same thing can be said for the Democrats. So as long as both parties see their constitutions as corporations and not people, trade will remain off the agenda and the
‘free market’ myth will continue.
