~China exports more goods to the US than any other country (21% of their total exports are purchased by us). It is estimated that between 78% to 88% of our imports come from China. Take a peek in your closet, refrigerator, car, house, garage and you might be amazed to see how many items you own that are made in China. However, you'll see very, very few American made products in Chinese homes and businesses. The trade agreements are very one-sided.
As for the current president of China, Hu Jintao was elected president by the 10th National People's Congress. Don't confuse the term "Congress" as used in Chinese politics with our type of congress. China is still a communist country and popular vote does not exist. Hu is the president of China but their head of government is Wen Jiabao, the premier.
While you are counting labels to discover all the goodies you own that were made in China, don't forget all the heroin we import (albeit illegally) from them. After all, they're still the major shipment point for heroin produced in the Golden Triangle.
If this news bothers you, join other folks who are attempting to boycott items made in China.

Did you see the special that ABC had on about 2 or 3 months ago, where they showed us that
(regarding all products that have been in the U.S. since January 1, 2006)
90% of what you see, is from China.
And almost 95% of a car - a lot of those parts shipped to the U.S. and assembled here.
We've gone over there with U.S. engineers and supervisors and built state of the art factories, far superior to the 30-50 year old buildings and technologies that are in the U.S.
And so we layoff our workers here in the U.S., get the job done cheaper and with new technologies in China.

Alot.
However, about 80 percent of this country's exports are controlled by foreign companies such as Nike, Adidas, Sony, Toshiba, Ikea, ............Any brand name you can name of.
FYI. A Barbie doll costs $20 USD, but China only gets about 35 cents of that.
