"How much trade do with do with them a year?"
"Somewhere in the range of a gazillion dollars."
"That seems stupid of us."
"Well, the good thing is that Vietnam is rising as an even cheaper source of low and high-tech labor. Some factories are moving form China to Vietnam right now."
"Soon we'll all be working for the Vietnamese."

I'll leave it up to you to decide which part I played in this conversation.
