This may be simple thinking but isn't our (the United States) race to exploit cheap labor in China, resulting in the explosive growth in the Chinese economy, going to cause us serious problems at many levels?

The first problem I can think of is we as a nation are losing and giving away the ability to manufacture our own goods because we are killing entire manufacturing traditions here to export them offshore.
