[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2243270, member: 1892"]Ain't that kind of like disagreeing on which direction the sun's going to rise in? We're not going to change China's behavior. I don't get the concept of "well, we'll pressure them into it" - they're three times our size, are just as nuclear-tipped as we are, and control half or more of our manufactured goods because they make them. What, exactly, are [I]we[/I] going to do to them? :) What we [B]should[/B] do is make it very uncomfortable indeed for those who willingly offer them for resale domestically. No new law is required; what's on the books - with the revisions to HPA last year - is ample to create Hammertime for these people if the will were there. Dry up the resale market by prosecuting a few (there will always be a few dumb enough to give you a chain of evidence), because with a couple heads already on the pike the smarter players will find an easier field. See? You don't even have to eradicate it. Below a certain critical mass - a reachable goal - it dies on its' own. So stop wringing your hands about what to do with China, and write your congressman. The FTC can put a stop to this stuff [B]right now[/B] if they wish, by making the atmosphere intolerably hot.[/QUOTE]
