Sorry Jetbox, but your thinking is "dated". We ALL go down together...including them. Do some research on how many American industries are now woven tightly into both those economies also. All of the Big 3 automakers have large plants in production in China plus a host of others. Many products made in both countries stock American and Canadian stores. It's called the "global economy" and that's why when Sydney Greenspan speaks the economists stop talking and listen intently. That's also one of the reasons for th jump in oil prices because of the wild 9% jump in Chinese GDP and their resultant demand for oil. We're all tied together these days damnit. 🙁
