As long as China holds 15% or more of the US dept, the govt can't really tell China anything. I don't like importing anything that would harm American production(furniture, steel, etc.). A good businessman will diversify and change to stay ahead of the curve. A poor decision would be to keep planting trees in the US when we are at a competitive disadvantage with China, Chile and Argentina etc. If we have more supply than demand, simply decrease supply and prices will rise.

I'm curious on what the group thinks about this proposed amendment to the U.S. Fruit and Vegetable Regulation which will allow the import of apples into the U.S. from China.

I don't want this to become a "All things from China are bad." thread. But I can see both negative and positive possibilities on allowing this. They do recommend additional measures and actions other than the standard Port of Entry Inspection.
