I'm actually in the middle ground when it comes to this story.
On one hand, I do tend to think there is a degree of hypocrisy in the current US administration. They're all for "free trade" and opening up markets... until it actually affects American companies and American jobs.
On the other hand, I say "So what? Let the Chinese buy whatever they want".
You reap what you sow.
As I said in my contribution to host's other thread, the real "threat" to America is not terrrorism (which is pretty minor in the scheme of things), but with economic stagnation and the emergence of ASEAN countries as the world's economic power-houses. It is Chinese entrepreneurs that will bring about the end of America's hegemony and not some crazy religious fanantic hiding in a cave somewhere.
