I strongly agree with you.

The GOP has a segment which is even now, pushing ever more manufacturing and technology over to China.

That segment, is killing the party, and damaging our own nation.

We run a MASSIVE trade deficit each and every year with China.

China is on the verge, of passing America globally.

Yet there is still a segment of the GOP, which wants to send ever more manufacturing there.

Bring back American manufacturing.

The warning bells should have been going off, the moment this trade was first initiated.

We gifted the Chinesse with over fifty years of technology and U. S. Patent information, schematics et al...

We financed their infrastructure.  We financed the improvements to their military.  We financed their military related outreach in other hemispheres.

Our grandkids and thier kids will pay for this with their blood.

Those who profiteered by doing business with a rogue communist nation, should be held to account for it in the final judgement.

I don'e even know how to spell it, but within three years of the mass killings at the Tiananmen Square protests, we were in bed with the Chinese on gifting them the tech to become a global threat.



Do you think we betrayed this man and 1.5 billion other Chinese wishing to be free of their Communist overlords?  
I do.  And we betrayed past, current, and future U. S. Citizens as well.

When all is said and done, I believe this will be seen as treason.

Yep. We gave China most favored nation trading status. Essentially carte blanche. We did it to modernize their society and give their citizens a taste of money. I gotta wonder if that was such a fine idea. We made them a wealthy superpower who is now a major threat. We are indebted to them and have very little leverage anymore.

As for Putin, he obviously is wanting to open up trade. US & EU sanctions just make him look to another partner. He is probably negotiating about tech imports & exports. Other imports & exports too. Both countries would likely benefit from that. They are probably talking about establishing a common currency. Dumping the dollar and turning to the yuan would be a diabolical move that would hurt us and Europe greatly. So would cutting a gas deal with energy hungry China. He could easily sell all of his gas there.

A military alliance between the two would cost us greatly. Just the uncertainty that it would create would be very bad!

Sorry! Am I being pessimistic today?

In truth, he’s been playing the China card for year. He shares certain technology with them too. It’s an alliance that sees Chine benefit from both Russia and us, and benefits to both our detriments.

In time, we’ll pay.
