Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) Should the US government restrict trade with China over safety issues with Chinese products?

3 of 10

A ban on Chinese manufactured products on the basis of safety issues would have huge ramifications in the World Trade Organization. The attempt to ban goods that are harmful as a result of Chinese incompetence may seems justified. That is, if it was actually the result of Chinese incompetence. Unfortunately this is not the ca...

In rare moments of sentimentality it's always been asked, and I asked a friend the other day, how could people live in houses next to Auschwitz. I asked, were they really ignorant of the Holocaust, or were they simply too complacent to do anything? His answer was, ironically "I don't know, and I don't care". I was shocked. An... More..

Before the war in Iraq went awry the United States preached a doctrine of hot-headed unilateralism, w... More..

There is nothing quite like a good war to rally ordinary people towards killing the sons and daughters of a country most ordinary people have never even heard of. It seems like every epoch of human existence has been defined by its wars, by the slaughter that one civilization was able to inflict on another. In the last hundre... More..
