How the U.S. feels about trade with China.
An interesting finding from Angus Reid:
'People in the United States want their government to take human rights and minority rights into account when it deals with China, according to a poll by Angus Reid Public Opinion. 51 per cent of respondents feel this way, while 21 per cent would prefer to focus on the trading relationship.'
The full poll on China is available here. (pdf) Among its other notable findings:
'Half of Americans (50%) think their country should do less business with China; 28 per cent say it should maintain the current amount of business, and only one-in-ten people (10%) say it should increase trade ties with the Asian country....
'
The implications of doing less business with China would almost certainly mean more poverty in China. And that wouldn't exactly help much in the human rights department.
