ARTICLE: Seven Questions: Can You Live Without China?, Foreign Policy, July 2007
Weird experiment, but one that underlies something I've harped on for a while. People have no sense of how intertwined our economies already are--the U.S. and China.
This test was only about goods. Financially speaking, the connectivity is also quite profound.
Thanks to Matt Armstrong for sending this.

What I am actually kind of surprised about is that I have not yet seen any "No Chinese Content" labels on products given the recent rash of dangerous and poisonous products coming from the Peoples' Republic. It would start off as something like "organic" appealing to health oriented consumers on items like baby food.
Of course, I am also puzzled by the fact that every product targeted even peripherally at men does not include the disclaimer "If you experience erections lasting more than four hours while using this product, contact a doctor."
