Why support or buy anything from these guys..

Considering they own a majority of the US debt, you don't want to piss of the Chinese. If we decided to boycott or limit Chinese imports, they just may try to cash in all the government issued treasury notes and further bankrupt the US.

But something needs to be done, that's for sure. Are there absolutely zero regulations and standards for production over there? Or does their government just not care?

Globalization.
We have done it to ourselves.

We used to, now Japan has taken that role. Anything I get from China usually breaks within a year, if not sooner.

The quality either sucks or the quality will kill you literally.

Their government cares (and regulates) insomuch as the bad publicity affects the international perception of China as a good place to buy from. In other words, they function the same as the U.S., except we are a democracy, so the government here also cares what the domestic population thinks.


We support/buy from China because they are better than us. I would guess 90+% of YOUR collectibles were made in China.

When China comes calling to collect on over 1 trillion in U.S. treasury debt securities, we'll all be bowing down to grab our ankles in 7 years.
How would you like to face a nuclear armed repo-man?

If they hire this man:

Actually, that's exactly right. China wouldn't ever want to see the fall of the US because the income from exports would drop off severely. Add to that the fact that all the securities/US bonds that they own (from buying down our debt) is paid in US dollars, so they don't want to see the dollar do poorly.

Except, there's been talk by Obama's tax cheat Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geitner that he would consider going to a "one world currency," as suggested by the Chinese, in which case the US would be severely screwed.

Think I'm making it up? Google "Geitner and One World Currency"
