  1. Destroying Value and US Jobs by tjstork · · Score: 2, Troll


    Yet again an Asian country is deciding to use government action to fund an attack on an existing market. Why is our government never going to do anything to respond? Why is it that we have to compete with a culture that lets its people work for 2 cents a day cloning other people's products with government money?

    The US should not even trade with these people.
