 * __ Welcome to Walmart! __**

Wal-Mart sources more than 70% of its products from China, and relies on this atmosphere of abuse and oppression to keep production costs low. - Most workers are too afraid to stand up for better working conditions, and understandably so. Without these intimidating working conditions, Walmart would have a much tougher time keeping its prices so low. - Walmart might be in a joint venture with China, but Walmart's hear lies with exploitative working condeitions, not the Chinese people. - Once China's labe standars improve far enough, the retailer will move on to a country where working conditions remain medieval and workers' rights are nonexistent.

Walmarts did not allow unions in there stores for their workers, until recently. As of now the ACFTU represents more than 50,000 chinese workers at 108 Walmart locations.

In one way we are getting goods from China to sell in the U.S. and we are giving them money which is helping their economy. We are building new walmarts for people to shop at. **__Global Interdependance:__** If China were to lose its relationship with the USA it would be an economic disaster for the USA. China sees itself as "Self Reliant" and will not except help from others. Even after a huge natural disaster like the the earthquake that shook Tangshan, they would not except help. China has made itself an international concern, and still insists on being self reliant. China is not dependent on foreign aid, however, foreign countries are dependent on China and the merchandise it offers to them.

China is the second largest economy in the world, and predictions show that in 10 years the economy may grow to surpass that of the United States. After WW1 the demand boomed for Chinese goods. This demand allowed for a huge economic growth for China, and due to this dependance, China will continue to make money off the needs of others. Since we all know that as demand goes up so does price, the world could potentially fall victim to debt under the Chinese.
