That's really funny. The government doesn't mind the consumer buying cheap Chinese crap, much of it made by copying American equipment and selling duplicates made of inferior materials, but they don't want it for government?

Really a long time ago action should have been taken against China for the way it pegged its currency to the dollar and also to balance the wage and regulation cost differences. The Free Trade fetishists misunderstood that free trade was meant to take place between relative equals, not take advantage of virtual slave labor in other nations as the expense of domestic industry. Now we are in a deep hole because of them with no easy way out.
