Again, I'm with MarkD and TheGeak on this: I categorically refuse to subsidize people who have an announced official policy of preparing for inevitable war with my country, of undermining human rights, and whose record of obvious cheating on copyrights and intellectual property is appalling.

Besides that, the quality and durability of Chinese products is generally poor, making them actually among the most expensive, when true life-cycle costs are taken into account.

And, it is extremely poor public policy for any government (including ours or that of Australia, etc.) to allow jobs and industrial infrastructure to be exported, wholesale, to another country, especially one that sees us as the enemy.

Further, our government, in reducing tax for the very richest, has incurred a sudden and massive deficit, and now covers the deficit by borrowing from---the Chinese! So, we borrow money that started here from buying at Wal-Mart, then went to Bejing to finance the military machine that prepares for war with us, and which now covers the tax obligations of the very richest people. So, when the "inevitable" war comes, we'll be fighting with our banker! Whose children will be drafted to fight in that war?
