The biggest mistake...BY FAR...that the world's industrialized nations have made in recent years was to open their ports to Chinese made good. In 1981 I made my first trip to China. When visiting Guangzhou (aka as Canton),a major city,the streets were lined with 1950s Soviet style buildings and on the streets during rush hour one saw a few buses,many military vehicles and about 750,000 bicycles.

On my most recent visit to Guangzhou (2018) the streets were lined with glass and steel skyscrapers and during rush hour one saw bumper to bumper traffic of Toyotas.Hyundais and Buicks (yes,Buicks).

Every time we buy some cheap piece of Chinese cr@p China's military gets stronger...much stronger.

Buicks are the most popular and sought after car in China. If you don't have a Buick, you ain't squat.

We need a high tariff to protect US industry, raise revenue, lower tax rates and promote ON shoring of industry. So many wins with a tariff.

Coming in to the city from HK on the train, you disembark right in front of a huge park. Prices were higher there than in HK back in 2007.
