It's interesting to see that there are enough chinese people working in the US that they are posting lots of stuff here defending at least some of their government's actions. I don't blame them, but its something to keep in mind when discussing what levels of immigration we as Americans feel is in our best interest.
You seem to post a lot of comments about China. I appologize if you aren't actually Chinese, I've just noticed a lot of Chinese people advocating for the interests of China on here lately.

What do you think is the reason the economist sounds so dismissive of that idea?
>“Displaced”? So let me get this right. If my wife buys a Coach handbag for $100, and it’s a counterfeit from China, and she enjoys the handbag, then the “cost” to America is $100? I’m guessing that no actual economists participated in the writing of this government report.
This "economist" (your words) seems to think that the value his hypothetical wife gets from the handbag she or others thinks is a real Gucci offsets the fact that Gucci spent a fortune on their brand and China gets to take a big fat bite out of Gucci's sales because the US isnt willing to stand up to China on trade.
