C'mon, be a good sport and don't buck the New World Order. This is all about "leveling the playing field" (read: reallocation of resources and redistribution of wealth - by political world leaders currently in power.)
The Chinese will be driving cars (in ever far greater numbers) and unemployed Americans will be walking and riding bicycles more (bicycles imported from China, perhaps?) because that will be all they can afford.
Or, as one prominent politician said, not long ago: "You can come along for the ride, but you have to sit in the back..."
