diablo,
Also threatening to nuke Hawaii over Taiwan doesn't make them favourites either. Unfortunately only those not concerned with saving a $ by buying Chinese crap will notice.

Whatever the reason, Japan buying anything American will be seen negatively because parts of the U.S. still have an underlying "negative" feeling towards Japan. Imagine if Toyota had tried to buy Chrysler.

The Chinese copied Western Designs !?

dude, look at Kia. I thought they just took a Jaguar and slapped their logo on it.
Hyundai's designs are like a hybrid between Toyota and Honda.

Anyways, nowadays if you avoid Chinese "crap", you'll probably have to avoid a lot of things.

huu,
you know stuff about china right?
well in my economics class we found out that america currently has a deficit of over 6% of gdp, thats in the danger zone. (uk has 2% deficit).
apparently this is caused by the americans buying so many chinese and japanese goods and then the chinese not reinvesting their money in american products and services. the chinese could also crash the dollar as they have a huge stockpile of american money.
the uk also loses a ton of money on products, but makes a lot on services. not enough though, we're still losing 2% of gdp each year.
we buy a lot of stuff from overseas too.
so basically, buy european and save your economy (europe reinvest in america). don't buy chinese.

Rupert,
And your point about China is? I already know this and have been quite vocal about NOT buying Chinese crap. (i.e. Equinox/Torrent because their engines are built in China).

They can crash the dollar, but that would be suicide for them (no other market can make up for a tanking U.S. economy). Also, Japan and Germany (and Canada) would have no choice but to buy up those t-bills if/when China tried to convert them (keep the U.S. dollar strong for their own exports). If China can copy it, they will. Too many corporate interests in the U.S. prevent the gov't from getting tough on their pirating. The main problme is that China doesn't operate like free-market economies, and you can thank Bubba Clinton for sponsoring them into the WTO. What we need is a good war, maybe "Made in China" won't look so good when people go to Wal-mart and are reminded of who killed their sons.

Wiper blades and oil at Wal-Mart are still made in America though.

Buy Japanese cars, they're built here. I wouldn't even touch a German one. Mainly it'll be Japan that bails the U.S. out of any financial crisis if one arises.
