im no expert on Asia, but i understand their cultures operate a lot more on the idea of humiliation. it overrides their thought process, like a white liberal being called racist. they cannot think straight. exactly. they NEED us, we don't need them. yes short term sucks, but if we have other partners (india for example) to make up in short/medium term and hopefully we get stateside production in medium/long term. china needs slave labor and to steal IP to compete. that's like using steroids and isn't a long term solution.
