A Shocking Statement, I Can’t Believe an American Would Say Something Like This
America must wake up to the fact that China is not our friend. They steal our jobs, pirate our technology and put high tariffs on American made exports—sometimes as high as 300 percent—to keep them out of their markets.
Who in their right mind would think China is our friend? Erin Burnett would.
Ms. Burnett has her own show on CNN, Erin Burnett OutFront; prior to that, she anchored and appeared on shows on CNBC, NBC, MSNBC and even Donald Trump’s The Apprentice. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international affairs. Having graduated from Williams College with a B.A. in Political Economy, it’s clear that Ms. Burnett is a woman with an education yet she uses her network pulpit to spread her ridiculous ideas on foreign relations.
Here is what Erin Burnett has to say about China:
The fact that someone in the media paints China like this is frightening. What parent wants to give their children toys with lead paint? Who wants to eat poisoned food? Despite the low sticker price, a cheap, Chinese-made good that puts you in the hospital will end up costing you more in the long run.
Globalists like Ms. Burnett paint a rosy picture of “free” trade, but the reality is much darker. We open our borders to dirty, even toxic, food while nations like China close their borders with protectionism against high quality, American-made products.
Erin Burnett is wrong; China is not our friend. We do not need toxic imports to survive. We need America-made products, so the American middle class can earn a livable wage, and so we can keep our families healthy. With friends like China, who needs enemies?

Erin Burnett is living proof that a person can be educated, yet still be stupid! Maybe she’s eaten so much toxic Chinese food that she’s experienced brain damage! Better her than innocent American children….
Yet anything you build in this country will be told by the financier to go to Asia and especially China.
Thank you for sharing this story. Let’s just do like Erin Burnett says ….. poison ourselves to keep prices low at Wal-Mart ~ UNREAL!!!!
Is this a sick sarcastic remark or what? If China did not poison stuff (food, prescription drugs, drywall, etc.) the price would go up? Sounds more like extortion – if you guys don’t eat our poison then we are gonna starve you out one way or another, and with the cooperation of your own U.S. brand-name Companies and Washington politicians. Bring back the old Lou Dobbs who bashed “free trade”, offshoring, and the U.S Chamber of Commerce on CNN.
She screwed herself talking too fast, trying to make two separate unrelated points. Those would be:
1 – “You (Americans) get what you pay for.” and,
2 – “You can’t afford to pay more.”
Americans can’t afford quality goods (from here or abroad) because of decades of crony capitalism that has made corporations larger than governments. They have sucked the middle class out of existence and created a no-win consumer situation for all but the wealthiest people. Chinese people may be our friends, but certainly not Chinese/American corporations nor the governments they have purchased!
