Quote from Maverick74:
China is a very scary country. I couldn't even watch that video. I'm starting to think Trump is right about China. I've always been a supporter of free trade, but the extent to which we do business with China makes us complicit really in anything they do over there. We really need to re-evaluate our trade policies with them and stop looking the other way. It would really f*cking help if we stopped borrowing money from that country.
). I dont think this happens for another 4 years or so...but im hoping sooner. Start funneling those dollars into the homeland infrastructure. Fuck it - according to the world everything is our fault anyways. Let them take care of themselves.Quote from CoolTraderDude:

Horrible cruelty... Couldn't even watch the entire video... I had to skip through it just to check that what they were saying is in fact true. They don't even kill the animal after. They just let it suffer.

Anyway, this is absolutely disgusting...
Chinese are fucking cruel bastards. Not to mention the fact that they cheat at pretty much everything. I'm boycotting China from now on... I won't buy anything made in China. Fuck'em...

I'm with everyone on this thread on this being wrong, they should kill the animal before harvesting the fur, but are you guys gonna cry your bleeding hearts out or do something about it? A lot of posts of PETA armchair QBs here.
Quote from Crispy:
The China / USA relationship is far from fair trade. Those fuckers unpeg and its all over but the crying and they know it.
Amongst friends in 2008 I was predicting that America would soon be moving towards protectionist type policies. That is happening right now. We will be taxing imports heavily soon. No more cheap shit but we bring the industry/jobs back to our ghost towns.
The next step is reverting back to isolationism. Once we pull troops out of a few of these bush wars (not president Bush). I dont think this happens for another 4 years or so...but im hoping sooner. Start funneling those dollars into the homeland infrastructure. Fuck it - according to the world everything is our fault anyways. Let them take care of themselves.
We really have no choice in the matter. We need these moves to maintain our position in the world. Its that or we are Rome in the 1300`s.
These two actions will make us great again.

Like I said earlier I'm boycotting anything made in China... It will be really hard to do considering how many things are made there. But I'll be going out of my way to avoid buying Chinese products... Besides I should have done this a long time ago.
Also, why the hell isn't the CEO of Ugg boots going apeshit over this...? I mean, this is the perfect opportunity to slam the counterfiters that are costing the company millions... You'd think they'd try to defend their brand name wouldn't you...?
Yeah, I agree...
We need to at least stop the Chinese from blatantly cheating. Even if we don't do the rest of what you say... I'm all for isolationism...!
