>It is a democracy so there is supposed to be free trade also
Just a little nit picking - this country is not a democracy as such,
but rather a republic based on the principles of democracy. The
differance is slight, but significent. Also, there is nothing that
says a democracy has to have free trade or that a dictatorship can't
have free trade. China certainly isn't a country based on democracy,
but it sure is becoming more appreciative of free trade, especially
when it is trading with us - one way free trade that is. One of the
great problems we face in this country is that people don't understand
the differences between politics and economics because they have
become so intertwined in our hell bent rush toward socialism.
