Dean's right for endorsing economic nationalism. America MUST win the technology race, it is the only way to survive. What do you think is going to happen if the Chinese get ahead of us in terms of technology? They are going to march towards Moscow and the Berring Straits and they aren't going to look back! Think I am crazy? 1.2 billion people, the world's largest army, and world history says I am not. When the Chinese are charging the Golden Gate Bridge with satellite and space weaponry, stealth aircraft, advanced body armor, and low-yield nuclear weapons don't say Dean Kamen didn't warn you! The Chinese don't believe in this One-World-Love-Everybody-Lets-Get-Together-And-Hug-Each-Other nonsense. They are smart and they always know the score!

And if you don't like outsourcing, then don't live in state where the government drives out business with insane regulation and extreme taxation (i.e Massachusetts, California, Oregon, and Washington).

I agree on a theoretical level, bu China would have to really work hard against democracy to pull this off. Since the chinese want democracy, I don't see this as likely. Maybe some sort of North Korean + Rebel Chinese movement...
