    Sorry, rather than spout opinion, here's fact:

    IN 2009 China's exports to the US were worth $298.3 billion. That was already down 10 percent from 2008 thanks to the recession.

    China's global exports total for 2009 were $1.2 trillion (down $200 billion from the year before).

    So if the US represents almost $300 billion of the $1.2 trillion total, that means the US alone consumes about 25% of their exports.

    So, if one of your clients, responsible for 25% of your entire business decides to spend less, wouldn't you be concerned, at least short term?
