China Bans Foreign Travelers From Tibet

China is a world tyrant and world murderer of basic human rights we stupid Americans buy and buy and buy " Made In China" We took a stand in my house. For us it started in our kitchen after reading a report of lead being found in the glazes of dishes made in China. We bought Fiesta by Homer Laughlin made in USA and better quality too not to mention Corell and Corning is made here as well. Then we threw out all plastic crap we bought at the dollar stores and Wal Mart. We bought Rubbermaid made in USA and better quality again. So with our help we Americans buy and buy all this crap made in China so their economy thrives and they torture people in Tibet?? Screw China and if Americans were really proud of America together we could hit them where they live. Their conomy depends on the manufacturing sector without it they'd be back rice pathes and dirt roads. Come on America WAKE UP we CAN do this.. Hit em where it hurts..

Agreed.....But first you'd need to shut down WalMart.

Accusations of "world tyranny" by an American are just a tad hypocritical. A citizen of the nation that has invaded countries halfway around the world (surely I don't need to cite examples) and carried out decades of "wetwork" assassinations aimed at installing puppet regimes (look up how many times the CIA tried to assassinate Castro if you want a bit of relevant dark humor) is accusing the country it promptly turned on after World War 2 a "tyrant"? Curious.

I'm sorry, but most of the stuff you don't consider "cheap crap" was made in China (e.g. virtually every consumer-grade computer in the last decade), or other, poorer countries with far laxer labor laws (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, etc.). Walmart is hardly a one-stop shop for all things outsourced.
