		<description>Ahh so Americans are better salesmen. US ecomomics/national destiny has all been going off course ever since Wall Street became more influential and CEO&#039;s partnered up for their golden parachutes. Most companies focused on officer&#039;s getting cashed out and conning share holders in the short term, not committed to building their businesses. Oh well another day another dollar... Did I just say that?</description>

		<description>But if we are going to be fair about this problem, then shouldn’t Chinese media talk about the American and other non-Chinese victims of this problem as well?   Just because those are not Chinese doesn&#039;t mean they don&#039;t have any rights, or, can be cheated at will.</description>

		<description>I doubt the quality of goods you can obtain from China has ever changed.  It&#039;s always been the same sine time immemorial.  However, the stuff you get from the States, like Walmart, etc., you really have to be careful.  You should always figure out the source of the goods before you buy them.  I always check the &quot;Made in...&quot; label, and see where the parts came from.</description>
