Jack Cafferty is about the only honest color-guy CNN has. He's a perfect balance to Lou Dobb's bloviating, everyman, populist-pandering tough guy act.

I'm pretty sure they were going to ship more poison dog food and toxic toys anyway.

They thought we were calling them goons, only with a "k" instead of an "n"...

/This Olympics is going to be a three week trainwreck.

Actually it was a fortunate slip-up. He had intended to say "gooks." (kidding, of course)

What is it with the Chinese and North Koreans? They think they're above criticism? Does being an Asian communist give you thin skin?

I'm sure that Jack's apology will be sincere and heartfelt. Something along the lines of "I should not have called them goons and thugs, I should have called them murderous amoral goons and thugs."

Chinese cultural used to respect reserve, quiet, thoughtfulness.

Communists took over and ruined it all. Now they just shout you down. Like a 4 year old having a temper tantrum.

I don't think calling them goons and thugs for the lead paint and pet food fiascos is appropriate. How about "profit-hungry dickwads who don't give a shiat about American health regulations"?

China learned all their tricks of the trade from the way a lot of American business is conducted. America made China what it is today.

Jiang Yu told a regular news conference.

"Cafferty used the microphone in his hand to slander China and the Chinese people, and seriously violated reporting ethics."

Really, when did China have the moral standing to call out journal ethics again?

As much as i am really starting to despise their regime, the last thing we need is for them to start dumping our bonds out of spite.

They have financed our massive mountain of debt for the last eight years. Is pissing them off worth watching the interest rate on your credit cards, car loan, mortgage, student loans, etc jump 5%-10% IN A WEEK? And then really take off.

Let the sleeping tiger be.

You know what. Cafferty is absolutely correct. 99% of anything of Chinese orgin I have owned falls apart either immediately or over the course of several weeks. Their products are crap. However most Americans don't care because we are selfish hedonists. We would just buy more crappy replacements of whatever product broke.

Sorry China. Its not slander if its true. Increase your quality assurance and stop sending us lead, maybe my views will change. Till then go fark yourselves.

I'm a Chinese hired goon, so I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about. But trust me.... You don't. I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around. If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do. Cos some farkers believe anything they hear.

Can anyone point me to an article that tells what might happen if this were to occur.

What if we just revoked their bonds and told them to fark off?

I am not an economist by *any* stretch of the imagination, but doesn't a lot of this seem to just be "imaginary" money?

Ever been to China? It is the dirtiest culture on the earth. They indiscriminately deficate wherever they want and spit all over the place. The smaller towns reak and there industry has no pollution laws.
