My friend's father worked as a chemical company salesman. He sold acid (no yuks, that's what he sold.) He said that when he went to industry events and answered questions from Japanese about what type of acid to use, they would thank him and then quietly go and buy from a Japanese vendor across the hall. But when Koreans asked him and he helped, they bought from him.
And while that sounds bad, keep in mind that in the states the left encourages "women and minority owned" businesses to buy from each other or within their ethnic group. And hey, nothing wrong with that except for the double standard as they whine about right wing hypocrisy and racism. They take both of those to the sublime.

a noble profession.. and a very important one.. no acid, no semiconductors, no laptops, no iphones or ipads.. no global telecommunications. where would the information revolution be today without it..
On your main point, yes, this is why diversity programs doesnt work.

The problem with imposing tariffs specifically against Chinese products is that we'll simply import the same stuff from another third world country.

Call your Congressman
NOW
John Boehner has declared the China currency bill, which passed the Senate with rare bipartisan support and 63 votes, “dead on arrival” in the House. Apparently the interests of multinational corporations to keep their labor costs low trumps the interests of out-of-work Americans. This House Speaker knows where his bread is buttered
