US Files Trade Complaint Against China

We allege the China is not doing enough to crack down on piracy. No kidding! Really???!! China is one of the leading sources of piracy in the world and yet, since piracy doesn't effect China's entertainment industry like it does for America, they don't do much about it. A friend of mine went to China several years ago and he took pictures of places that were selling DVD's, software, and other items that were obvious fakes.

This also has to do with the trade deficit. We're trying to even things out a bit more. However, we're not going to be able to compete against child/slave labor that China uses so much. If China doesn't cooperate in the piracy bit, they may find themselves on the receiving end of new tariffs on Chinese goods.
