I heard an opinion over the radio (not a big syndicated dude, can't remember his name) that china needs us much more then we need thier credit. I'm not sure about his facts but he said that china has ALOT of young men something like 40+ percent of the population is male and under the age of 30.
all these potential rebels need jobs to keep them distracted and docile ( fat dumb and happy) remember the one child policy they had? (maybe they still do!) the family wanted a boy child to carry on the family name so they threw the girl children under the plow, now you can do the math, 40% of a billion?

From what I understand they all want boys because the boys are supposed to take care of their parents in old age. No son, no elderly care.

Another angle goes along the line of, "When you (USA) owe the bank (China) a little money, they own you, but when you owe the bank a lot of money, you own them."

ALWAYS READ THE LABELS ON THE FOODS YOU BUY--NO MATTER WHAT THE FRONT OF THE BOX OR PACKAGE SAYS, TURN IT OVER AND READ THE BACK---CAREFULLY! 
 
With all the food and pet products now coming from China , it is best to make sure you read labels at the grocery store and especially Walmart when buying food products.
Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is located. It is important to read the bar code to track it's origin.
How to read Bar Codes .....interesting!
This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you. 
GREAT WAY TO "BUY USA  &  CANADA " AND NOT FROM   CHINA!!


         
The whole world is afraid of China-made"black hearted goods".

Can you differentiate which one is made in  Taiwan or  China ?

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN  CHINA. 
471 is Made in  Taiwan .
   
This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves.

Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN  CHINA ", so they don't show from which country it is made.   However, you may now refer to the barcode -remember if the first 3 digits are:

690-692 ... then it is MADE IN  CHINA
00 - 09 ...   USA   &  CANADA
30 - 37 ...   FRANCE
40 - 44 ...   GERMANY
471  ...  Taiwan
49 ... JAPAN
50 ...   UK
BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number. 
We need every boost we can get!

Actually, the barcode does NOT tell you where a product was made, it just tells you what country the barcode grouping was assigned from. If an American company has their products made in China and then imported, as long as the company was assigned their barcode beginning code in the US, the product will have a US based barcode.
