It's only a matter of time. They are unhappy that we want to sell arms to Taiwan. How do they expect us to earn the money to buy their poisonous widgets? Now they are disturbed that Obama might meet the Dalai Lama and are expressing their concerns with veiled threats.
When you sell your soul, you eventually have to pay the devil his due. We are addicted to improbable stories of easy benefits. We believe people who say they are honestly generating impossible financial returns and are then shocked when they turn out to be running Ponzi schemes. And we are now believing that the Chinese are beneficently letting us enjoy the fruits of their manufacturing labor with no expectation of eventual payment.
They will want payment. The veil is rising. They are tired of the United States exercising an independent foreign policy that may conflict with theirs, and it won't be long before the President realizes that he can't meet the Dalai Lama if our primary banker says we can't.
