I don't mind sending a little of my money to China, since
they provide the company for which I work with a good deal
of annual revenue.

Poor Cooty is just beside himself trying to make basic consumer goods
cost more so the American poor can be hammered.

He's off on Wal Mart, but truth be told there are as many or more Chicom
products at any Dollar store, or what's left of K-Mart.

It's just sexier to bash Wal Mart, then slink in later to get one's
shopping done when no one is "looking"...

Friggin' hypocrite!

A LITTLE money? Do you have any idea what the trade deficit was last
year between the U.S. and China? Here, let me elucidate for you:

Do you have any idea how invested they are in US treasuries?

Here, let ME help YOU:

http://www.treasury.gov/ticdata/Publish/mfh.txt

MAJOR FOREIGN HOLDERS OF TREASURY SECURITIES

(in billions of dollars)

Country June 2015 May 2015

1. China 1271.2 1270.3
2. Japan 1197.1 1214.9
3. Carib Bkg 318.5 311.5
19. Russia 72.0 70.6

(that's called having a vested interest in OUR economic success)

And the upshot of that is:

http://www.marke****ch.com/story/us-...dist=countdown

The U.S. economy is “insulated” from overseas inflation and deflation
pressure from exchange rate movements owing to the fact that most of the
world’s trade is invoiced in dollars, according to new economic research
presented at the Federal Reserve’s summit in Jackson Hole.

This means that U.S. inflation is more insulated from exchange rate
shocks, while other countries are highly sensitive to it, Gopinath said.

http://money.usnews.com/money/busine...ican-consumers

Benefits from China. Capp says low prices are the greatest benefit
American consumers receive from China. "China produces products that
Americans consume at large quantities, at prices lower than Americans
would have to pay if the product was made elsewhere," he says. "Even
before the financial crash crippled the economy, American consumers'
cost of living was moderated by the lowering of retail prices of goods
produced in China."

Gong says there is a misconception that the money spent on these
products benefits China. Instead, the money goes to companies using
Chinese labor for production.

Take Apple, for instance. Many have criticized the company for
manufacturing its products in China. But only small portions of profits
go back to Chinese companies. "Apple and Apple employees are making the
big chunk of the money," Gong says. "The impact on China is pretty small."

Gong adds that China's growing middle class benefits the American
manufacturing sector, as well as American companies. He says China is
turning into a nation of consumers who have a strong appetite for
American-made products. "China has become a larger part of the export
market for the United States," Gong says. "As their [standard of living]
comes up, they are going to buy more products made in the United States,
as well as more iPads."

Perhaps we wouldn't need so many products from China if we had more workers
here at home that actually valued working instead of living for handouts
and the next barter.

Yeah, he didn't exactly pick the right item to get all patriotic
about, that's for sure. Most all the best coffee grinders are European
made.

There is no American-made high-end coffee mill (grinder) made. Period.

That's why I bought my Ditting.

With all of his degrees, John should still take a few college classes
in economics. Closing down our borders and buying only US products
failed long ago. Unions here were part of the problem. At first they
saved the lowly workers but later on, they got greedy. US companies
went oversea to make the same product cheaper. That's just smart
business when trying to keep stockholders investing and happy.

It's pretty much a global economy now. This is why we have a good
variety of food available all year now rather than just in season
here.

I had a customer bring us regular coffee from Starbucks once. I was
not impressed. 7-11 coffee is better.

Yep, you are lookiong at a very subjective view. How it affects YOU!!
NOT how the whole system and how it affects everyone/everything is
concerned. Typical egocentric view.

Starbucks merely taught United Statesians that you need to make coffee
strong enough. I have never had a particularly great coffee at
Starbucks. Plus most of the "coffee drinks" they make are peppered up
with lots of sugar and other stuff.

It's always been a global economy. Humans have traveled around the
globe to trade. But with the atrocious regulatory (or lack theeof!)
structure we have today, China is profiting handsomely for a
"communist" country!!

Communist, socialist, democratoc, etc, all that hardly matters. We are
all worshiping the One True God we made for ourselves, the proverbial
Golden Calf. The relatively unbridled Worship of Mammon!! :-(

High end coffee is like shooting up your dope in the drawing room instead of an alley.

MAJOR FOREIGN HOLDERS OF TREASURY SECURITIES

(in billions of dollars)

Country June 2015 May 2015

1. China 1271.2 1270.3
2. Japan 1197.1 1214.9
3. Carib Bkg 318.5 311.5
19. Russia 72.0 70.6

(that's called having a vested interest in OUR economic success)

And the upshot of that is:

http://www.marke****ch.com/story/us-...dist=countdown

The U.S. economy is “insulated” from overseas inflation and deflation
pressure from exchange rate movements owing to the fact that most of the
world’s trade is invoiced in dollars, according to new economic research
presented at the Federal Reserve’s summit in Jackson Hole.

This means that U.S. inflation is more insulated from exchange rate
shocks, while other countries are highly sensitive to it, Gopinath said.

http://money.usnews.com/money/busine...ican-consumers

Benefits from China. Capp says low prices are the greatest benefit
American consumers receive from China. "China produces products that
Americans consume at large quantities, at prices lower than Americans
would have to pay if the product was made elsewhere," he says. "Even
before the financial crash crippled the economy, American consumers'
cost of living was moderated by the lowering of retail prices of goods
produced in China."

Gong says there is a misconception that the money spent on these
products benefits China. Instead, the money goes to companies using
Chinese labor for production.

Take Apple, for instance. Many have criticized the company for
manufacturing its products in China. But only small portions of profits
go back to Chinese companies. "Apple and Apple employees are making the
big chunk of the money," Gong says. "The impact on China is pretty small."

Gong adds that China's growing middle class benefits the American
manufacturing sector, as well as American companies. He says China is
turning into a nation of consumers who have a strong appetite for
American-made products. "China has become a larger part of the export
market for the United States," Gong says. "As their [standard of living]
comes up, they are going to buy more products made in the United States,
as well as more iPads."
