What is 'stinky' about trading with the Chinese? GAW trade with them and plenty of buyers of A2's trade with them.

I'm increasingly concerned about the degree of xenophobia and outright racism that is casually thrown about in trade threads. Much of it appears to come from those flag-waving 'patriots' for whom anything outside of their national border is treated as some foreign third-world nation that just needs to 'be like them'.

In my experience with dealing with the Chinese I have found them to be trustworthy and reasonable. They might not have the 'western' gloss and finish to their shop-front that you are used to, but if you wanted to be scrypt mining on 28nm ASICS before anyone else had even shipped, they were delivering in spades.
