You're SO right! Not only China, but now the US has an open (sm)
trade agreement with KOREA... another less-than-scrupulous part of the world.

As for the name of the guy you talked to in India, I have noticed that with Dell Computers. When you get tech support, whether on the phone or by email or instant message, they always have an American-sounding name. That seems purposely deceptive.

"United States of China" roflmao!!! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!
Hilarious! Standing O!!!
