    No one is holding a gun to the head of these CEO's and forcing them to hire Chinese workers. It's like blaming the diamond miners in SA and the coltan miners in the Congo for your monthly phone bills.

    American companies should stop EXPLOITING child labor, ie. keeping these children on life support so that Americans can live a great life and keep the cost of living standards low.

    How these poor peasants have saved every penny from their hard work and want to RE-INVEST their savings, they are being blamed for CURRENCY MANIPULATION?! Do you know how many countries peg their currency to the dollar? You guys should take that as a compliment because the world will be a VERY different place 50 years from now.

    If Americans want "buy in America" they should boycott Chinese goods and CHANGE THEIR STANDARDS OF LIVING. That means paying 10X more for the daily necessities they do now (ie. stop gambling in their financial casinos and buy million dollar houses on a teacher's salary).

    In conclusion, if Americans want to maintain their standards of life and not have anyone else benefit from providing these benefits to them, they should make their own goods, shut down labor unions, and eliminate the minimum wage.

    But you know what? In a few years their will be an internal market and a lower population in China, there won't be a need for these poor kids to work as slaves anymore, you'll get what you want America... and by then, you can't blame China anymore, you can only blame yourselves.
