OK so they sell us 5 times as muc stuff. And we don’t buy it from them any more. How does that hurt us? I mean what happens if their factories have to close. I bet that won’t be good.

They are running huge trade surplus amounts with America, because China now has lots of factories, which used the be American.
Bring them back.

Speaking to CNBC's "Squawk Box," Chin also "totally" disagreed with the view that U.S. President Donald Trump's policies are backfiring. Whose "view" is that...the Democrats?

Start with electronics (TVs and Computers, Cell Phones), and Appliances (Washing machines, Refrigerators, etc.)

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. It doesn't fit the narrative (DNC talking points, which is all the Partisan Media Shills regurgitate), but the narrative doesn't fit reality, and most people (and most voters) have to live with reality.

Don’t forget, the Communist Chinese government owns all those factories. They’re making a huge profit by using slave labor not having strangling government regulations and that huge profit is being used to build their military. And that military is aimed directly at us. We’re taking a double or triple whammy on this trade deficit.

Perhaps a saving grace is that a military force is a net drag on an economy...

Not in a Communist country where the military is also the local police and just about everyone "joins" the military.
In those countries, they understand that the military and national defense is one of the true and purposeful functions of a national government. Granted, the costs are still there, but most Communists countries are willing to kill their own people to maintain their military costs, so they never see these expenditures as a "drag" or "negative;" at least not from their point of view!

Try reading Tom Clancy’s “The Bear and the Dragon.” That man had a pretty good handle on Chinese thinking.

I mean what happens if their factories have to close.We, as a people, need to stop thinking about "them" and concentrate on "us". I personally don't give a sh!t about China, their economy, or their fascist state run media-society. F them all.

“Less cheap junk” isn’t the worst economic policy in the world either.

“Trump’s trade war advantage: The US economy is ‘firing on all cylinders,’ says expert”
Trump deliberately got the economy going like gangbusters BEFORE taking actions to force our trading partners into engaging in truly fair trade ...
