I really think you should forward your comments to Obama (those were his statements, not mine I quoted). I think most will go over really well except for 30% or our entertainment being South korean movies (for a fair free trade agreement there), of course what happens when no one buys or rents them? I guess they go back into the foreign film section?

By the way, don't you get foreign films on your satellite or cable tv system? I have many channels that are nothing but foreign films and on demand foreign films from numerous countries. That's how I watch mine - much more convenient. Although I must admit I've only watched a couple of Korean movies - I don't enjoy them as much as the ones from India or France and a few other countries. I watch a lot of movies from Central and South American countries.



>>He is hitting the unfair advantage China has with the U.S. and calling for a trade deal with China now.
>>
>>He is also warning Americans to be realistic and not believe his fellow candidates promises to bring jobs back to America. He states most of them will never come back here.

>Because the cream of this transaction is skimmed by American companies, who enjoy all the tax benefits by being domestic in name but manufacturing in China and even get tax dollar aid when needed (or can use results of publicly funded research for pittance) - and these are just rich enough to buy any law they need. Presently, they need the laws to stay as they are. Any mention of them being taxed as if their production is import that it is, is doomed to get heard nowhere.

>>Fair trade with Korea needed - we buy a lot of S Korean cars but American cars are not allowed there - need a fair trade deal with S Korea.

>As soon as American movie theaters/TV networks/DJs start showing 30% of foreign content.

>>Universal Health Care needs to be passed now.

>Actually, health insurance for profit should be banned, but I don't see a candidate in this nor in the following decade who'd dare say that.
>
>>According to Obama, China's economy relies on exports to the U.S. It is a bargaining chip that we need to use but we don't due to Chinese loans.

>Actually, the present dance around Tibet is just playing with fire. Chinese rule over Tibet was always fine with everyone, including Tibet - before the Chinese went communist. Now while I believe that they aren't soft on local issues, I don't see them as any worse than any other country dealing with a province where a rebellion was dormant until stoked from outside. The US have supported far worse than that (and still do - look at them Saudis), and there wasn't such a media orchestration going on.

>And parading Dalai Lama (elected by who exactly?) just because he's a religious figure, to spite the Chinese for being officially atheist... is wise how? What if Falun Gong are worse than Islamic fundamentalists? What if The Party there just decided some day that anyone who claims being persecuted for religious beliefs is free to leave the country? How many thousands of this sort of jihadists are the US ready to receive? I'd think about that.

>However, this sort of dance can be solved far more easily. The first guy who says to China "you should take in some of our values - you took the dollars already" may provoke a "dollars? We don't need no dollars - anyone want to buy dollars real cheap?" reaction, which... too stiff to imagine what that would look like. So far, the Chinese seem to react to this Olympic pissing contest with calmness and dignity (which probably irritates the righteous even more).

>> China is manipulating currencies which disadvantage us. China needs the U.S. more than the U.S. needs China.
>
>Dare try? The Chinese had the last famine only two generations ago, and they still haven't forgotten how poor they were. Many still are. Just how long would a tug last? With Walmart operating with minimal stock (to maximize profit and minimize the capital tied on shelves) and others operating in a similar manner, in order to survive on the market, the US would be without pants (all made in China) within weeks. China could tag along for months on rice alone.
