BEIJING — While China's government has avoided responding to Donald Trump attacks by name, it seems the rest of the country may have missed the memo about the GOP's likely nominee.
The Republican frontrunner has repeatedly put China in his crosshairs, saying its trade policies are "killing" America and its currency devaluations will "suck the blood out" of the States.
Trump ratcheted up his rhetoric even further this week by accusing China of "raping" the U.S. — an escalation deemed all the more alarming now that the candidate has all-but clinched the Republican nomination.

Well there is one solution:
China could simply: buy more American goods.
Just saying. Seems darned simple, from my standpoint.
Buy more US goods. Starting with a Trump resort in some area of China that’s not blanketed with smog.
Trump is not just the presumptive nominee, he is the presumptive president as well.
Chinese in the US are starting to get on the Trump train, at least on WeChat. They understand Hillary is just another commie, and Bernie is worse.
My relatives in China only know what their “news” tells them, and you can be sure that the state media there will use Trump to raise nationalist emotions.
Chuck Fina.
I’m completely serious in that suggestion.
It is really very simple. Buy more stuff, make in America. In fact, buy quite a lot more stuff, which is made in America.
So very simple. Easiest solution, on the entire planet.
I hope Trump gets more specific with his complaints about China, to address people like Levine who say Trump is anti-free trade.
Trump isn’t anti-trade...he’s anti-trade deals.
A free trade deal takes one page of paper. The Pacific partnership deal is 2,000 pages long. Whatever that is, it isn’t free trade.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if China signed a trade pact with the U.S. in the spirit of cooperation, bringing in more US goods, as a welcome gesture for President Trump’s election.
The article references the Global Times, an English-language Chinese weekly newspaper that China sends out for free to public US libraries (like mine). Has negative propaganda against Trump. Perhaps they might reconsider their editorial policy.
That’s a big Request.
The word, "China" has come out of Trump's mouth at least two thousand times in the last 8 months
Ahhh sooo .. is he tawkin' 'bou US ?
If you want to be friends with someone, you buy what they’re selling. I buy your Avon stuff, you buy my Tupperware. If you don’t buy my stuff after I buy yours, I won’t like you very much. :-)
It’s a big request but you don’t get if you don’t ask. Hey, I’m inclined to like China again if they play fair. We could be best buds economically.
The MSM is gagging on the words aren't they? Roast Crow, Grilled Crow, Stewed Crow...its still CROW!
I was talking about finding a major city without any lung choking smog, but your idea is a good one also.
So it's just like our Media and Citizens here? ;)

I'm not sure 'playing fair' is in China's playbook when it's always been easier to buy our elected 'elites'...
Remember the Clinton days...
No less startling was Mr. Chung's allegation that the Democratic Party was not the only player with a ravenous appetite for money. He also described how he was, in effect, shaken down for a $25,000 donation to Africare, a charitable organization supported by the Energy Secretary at the time, Hazel O'Leary.
Mr. Chung said he gave the check directly to a man who said he was an Energy Department official, in order to set up a meeting with Mrs. O'Leary and a Chinese petrochemical official. On another occasion,Mr. Chung said he gave $50,000 to a White House aide to help pay for a Christmas reception in the executive mansion, and then landed a meeting with the First Lady.
Hillary Rodham Clinton said she had no recollection of such a meeting, and the White House denies that it solicited the money from Mr. Chung. But theNBC News report was filled with pictures of Mr. Chung lounging around the executive mansion like a guest at a resort hotel. There he was in the White House mess hall, or at the President's movie theater, or at the White House bowling alley.
When the NFL plays a game in Mexico City BOTH TEAMS should dine on Mexican steak. !00 positives. Do you REALLY think the NFL will suspend 2 teams?
Find something in your home (consumer goods) that is less then 20 years old that was made in the USA.... It can be done...but it's not that easy...
I don't think we make anything anymore that they would want to buy.....
