The American government is spending money in China? I don’t think so.
“The American government is spending money in China?”
No, but China makes a large percentage of our consumer goods, plus parts for those things we build here. Money flows from the US to China in multiple paths.
We do, though pay China to do a number of things, like clean up their coal plants, and “aid” for this and that.
Is there a country on this planet where the U.S. Government is not giving away our tax dollars?
And if these other countries can't get enough, like the Mexicans, they just enter the country illegally, by the millions, and take it in person.
The billions we give to Pakistan is buying new Chinese fighter jets...
