Trade With China – Good or Bad?

Does trade with China benefit or hurt the US economy?

The general public and opinion leaders were polled. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of trade.

Nearly 3/4s of the general public feels trade with China is good for the US economy.

But almost 85% of the opinion leaders think trade with China is good.

What I wonder is why the 10% disparity. What do opinion leaders see/think/hear/feel that the general public does not?

Does trade with China mean what the US buys, what China buys or trade both ways?

What do you think?
