Yes, to both of the above.
China in particular is not our 'friend' or only to the extent they can get the US dollar while leaving the Yuan as cheap as possible. If the Chinese Yuan were to float to a more real value, some of the trade imbalance would go away. Weak Washington Pols? World Bank? IMF? 'Them'?
As for the pinch? Consider yourself warned! I suspect such behavior is WHY Magnepan does NOT use such magnets in the construction of panels. Buy a couple DB of sensitivity? For Sure. Raise prices to cover additional cost? absolutely. Higher insurance claims from the magnet handlers getting 'pinched'? Yes again.
Too much is never enough
