Basicaly china prints its currency like crazy and buys us bonds and euro bonds. with this much Chinese currency out there that means that its worth less and the euro/ dollar is worth more. With the amount of trade and econ growth that china has they should be having stronger currencies then the dollar/euro but instead they can keep their currency down and cheat basically on global trade.

currency manipulator is exactly what china has been doing for their massive growth. Its common knowledge but no one wants to bite the people who kept the world economy going when things got/get bad.

No, it happened because of government wage and price controls during WW2. Then it was solidified with tax exemptions. It makes absolutely no sense to get insurance from employers, but the government has made sure that is how it happens.

It is. Germany has the same problems with china, you can buy cheap knockoffs of our cars over there (design-wise, not quality-wise).

It practically means nothing. Figuratively it allows one to dance amongst the clouds of foreign economic policy excellence.


The US manipulates its currency as well when it chooses to print money. Practically every country with fiat could be called this. China however is known for being rather aggressive with trying to keep their currency at a level they like.

Oh that I do not doubt. But to so regularly tout the public declaration of China as a currency manipulator as though it were pissing platform excellence smacks of pedestrian understanding.

The idea that full fledged neo-liberalism equals 'a level playing field' should have the entire US population hiding under the couch.

Well, yes. But that doesn't change the fact that employer insurance is how America has gotten health insurance for years (heck, it works for Germany too in a different fashion).
