Free trade with China and tariffs for the USA.

Free soccer stadium = free trade

I look forward to finally being able to find cheap Chinese crap in Costa Rican shops... oh wait...

now we can buy cheap ass lead filled trinkets for the ladies in CR

Given their demonstrated history of manipulating their currency, a deal with China is a deal with the devil. Even Brazil is getting queasy about Chinese ambitions (and I'm no Sinophobe): http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/27/world ... razil.html

but how long before there major export ( people) start to show up in mass. Maybe there will no longer be a need for that 23 hour plane ride to find a nice lady from the far east who now is sitting in the DR

the article did not even mention how a unknown China Company can have on the shelf's here in USA a product that is identical to your patent product months before the China plant you hired has even started to think about producing making what you contacted for.

Also the cost of shipping has risen very fast since the idea of a cheap China started and transportation cost is one of the major cost of production

I have also seen several other articles on this same subject
