Emma Maersk - Super container ship arrives from China
15,000 containers and a crew of just 13 men. Too wide for the Panama or Suez Canals, it is strictly trans-Pacific. Cruising at 31 knots means goods arrive 4 days before other container ships on a China / California run. Danish built at a cost of US $145,000,000+. But most of these containers are shipped back to China EMPTY! That's right - the US sends almost nothing back. What does that tell you about it's current financial state?

the containers, no longer go back empty... im in the metals export business, and i find it hard to ship goods from mid-west and west coast to china, as the demand for containers is very very high!!

The Chinese make all kinds of goods, at the expense of their environment, send them here, and get back nothing but a bunch of rapidly depreciating paper money. The deal is getting too bad for them to last. I predict when they quit doing this, the price in Walmart will double or triple, and you'll see riot in the poor neighborhoods here.

I think that if it goes back empty it's because our high corporate taxes mean Chine can't afford to buy our goods...They can get them cheaper elsewhere.

No, I get it. And all their lead too. I guess we can toss away some of our IOU's since we're giving so much aid now? Yeah right...

MN fan i dont think you understand the concept of China shipping things to America and getting nothing back, you are not giving too much to China, they are giving too much to you!! Your nation is in serious debt, China isn't!!!

That tells me the Danish are genius to sell something to China they'll only use half the time! And that we are giving China way too much money if they can afford to flounder it away like that under the current oil situations.
