Americans are wising up about the damage China is causing the US Economy. 71% now consider China an economic threat. It may now be politically feasible for Congress to take action against China, in order to reduce the outflow of American jobs there.

there is no doubt in the public's mind that the country poses an economic threat, according to a new national poll....
The poll's release coincides with U.S. President Barack Obama's first visit to China to bolster relations. At a town hall meeting on Monday he made the case to Chinese students that the two countries' philosophical differences should not get in the way of a robust relationship.
According to the survey, 2/3 see China as a source of unfair competition for U.S. companies, while only a 1/4 are more likely to view China as a huge potential market for U.S. goods....
Only a 1/4 of those questioned in the poll say that China has a good track record on human rights. 68% suggested that China is doing a bad job respecting the human rights of its citizens.

America is to blame, not China. China didn't force us to enter the WTO, or give it favored trading partner status, or relocate our industries there. This is the result of corporate greed and shortsightedness, and government corruption.

I blame China for China's bad acts.
America is stupid because America does not protect itself.
China is the bad guy.
America is a stupid victim.

This is the result of corporate greed and shortsightedness, and government corruption. You blame "America" as a whole? China treats it's own citizens as slaves and protects it's markets. "America" isn't entirely to blame, and neither is "America" as a whole to blame. It's the free traders who did this, along with China.
