Why are American corporations building iPods in China with slave labor, knowing that the Chinese government hacks our computers in the defense department, commits industrial espionage, are involved with counterfeiting (both products and currency), has devalued their currency against ours, and continually engages in unfair trade practices against us? Not to mention that China backed two wars against that led to the deaths of over 100,000 American soldiers? Why are American corporations building factories in China and hiring Chinese workers at all?<br /><br />http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/08/us-china-weapons-idUSTRE7A70FF20111108Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.com
