I don’t know about that.
Thirty years ago, I think we had an opportunity to open up the entire globe, as equal partners.
But now, we really, really have sold out. So many companies, in so many industries. Everything.
We have a huge problem, because a very large amount of our own companies, have sold out. Huge amounts.
90% of computers are now made there. And I don’t even know where the other 10% are made. Russia?
Laptops. Air conditioners. Refrigerators. Lawn goods. iPhones. Almost everything manufactured sold in Walmart. Sold in Target. Sold in K-mart. Almost everything sold in every electronics store in America. Almost all tools. Almost all houseware.
Made in China. And we just keep getting further, and further, and further sold out to China.
Everyone. Both political parties.
For a very, very, very long time.
Nearly 50 years after Nixon started this crap and they still have an economy 1/10 as efficient as the US.
If ever there was a paper tiger who needs to be crushed, it’s them. Belligerent punks.
I just realized that you and I are having a conversation...haha.
I like your thoughtful posts. You are correct about China taking advantage of agreements. In my experience when you signed an agreement with a Chinese company, they thought that was the time to negotiate.
They have no respect for the rule of law and they have no respect for an agreement because they think the West took advantage of them blah blah blah ad nauseum. They just use it as an excuse to behave badly.
They don’t like it when I point out that they got their asses kicked six ways to Sunday by Japan and we liberated them from that tiny country.
I have many Chinese friends but the vast majority of them are either Hong Kongers or educated in Western countries. They have no love lost for China. Quite the opposite. They hate the commie influence that is destroying the unique Hong Kong culture.
