I think a LOT of Americans jumped with both feet, onto the China train a long time ago. Given that “a long time ago” in matters of China, is about thirty years now.
When China was poor, did not have a military to speak of, did not have an economy to speak of. And had one huge communist government.
FAILING TO SEE, that in one short generation, through completely shutting out American competitors, and selling everything to America, those circumstances would change (dramatically).
Now China is rich. Their military is becoming quite competent thank you. Their economy is now as big as our own, and yet ... they still have one communist government.
Which now supplies practically EVERYTHING FOR SALE in America.
Just one generation.
Not good, America.
Yes indeed...I agree. As soon as China opened for business Corporate America jumped in fast and furious. China needed the technology and Western Companies saw huge profits to be made.....what they didn’t plan on was everything we brought there by our people was “copied” and not long before China was manufacturing it themselves. Nothing was done without the Chinese “paying attention” as they were instructed. And here were are!
Agree. Just said a similar thing on another thread. China would still be a backwater if it wasn’t for the help of the USA. We created the monster that has destroyed our manufacturing economy.
