And the AFL-CIO China turn? Or are they not part of the anti-globalization movement either?

Sure, in the 'radical' anti-g. movement nationalism is roundly critiqued, but on has to be hiding under a rock not to see right-left links in the broader anti-globalisation movement globally - e.g. the links that de Fabel van de Illegaal documented, and the fact that rightwingers pitched up at N30 in Paris (and were physically expelled from the march). And right/left links deep within the Nader camp - even if Nader is not a radical, he and the people around him still command a lot of respect in the 'broad left'. Is the 'broad left' irrelevant as well?

If the Angela Chip refers to is the same Angela who used to be on LBO-talk, she deals with this stuff from the context of anti-borders work in Australia (via xborder) - so no doubt she is quite familiar with xenophobic slants on anti-globalisation. (As am I, here in South Africa)
