70 percent of Americans see China as economic threat:

Not surprising at all , this is one of those points that Pres. Obama needs to pay attention to , And Listen to the people !
At 71% , I would say that WE the people can see what is going on ! obviously The Obamasiah sees and hears the sound of Money , and not us !
when we are under constant Cyber Attacks , and persistent unfairness in trade ,
And the loss of Hundreds of thousands of Manufacturing Jobs , And the Leader of our country is hugging and kissing with these Communist Bastards , Something is way out of whack !
I just hope Obama Is at least getting a Reach Around !

WASHINGTON — A clear majority of Americans see China as an economic threat, a poll showed Monday, as Barack Obama sought to bolster relations on his first trip to Beijing and Shanghai as president.

More than 70 percent of those questioned in the CNN poll said they considered the Asian giant to be an economic threat, while only 28 percent disagreed with the notion.

Two-thirds of those surveyed said they saw China as a source of unfair competition for American companies, while only a quarter viewed China positively as a huge potential market for US goods.

"That may be why 71 percent of Americans consider China an economic threat to the US," said CNN polling director Keating Holland. "Americans tend to view foreign countries as competition, and China is no exception."

Trade tensions between the powers have intensified in recent months, with both sides taking action against the other's imports.
Obama, due to make his first presidential visit to China on November 15-18, ignited the first major trade spat of his presidency last month after he imposed punitive duties on Chinese-made tires.

An angry Beijing lodged a complaint at the World Trade Organization and retaliated by launching a probe into possible unfair trade practices involving imports of US car products and chicken meat.

Americans were split on whether China posed a military threat with slightly more, 51 percent, agreeing with the statement than disagreeing (47 percent).


" I would bet a large sum of money , that if the situation with the Chinese Military were reported on a little more often (And Honestly) those numbers would be significantly Different ! "
