Well, now you’ll have people appending the blog pimp tag to your posts after that admission.
And the ideas of Teng Hsiao-p’ing come from Lenin, not the USA.
Do you really expect me to go find stories that you could find yourself? We need Chinese goods much less than China needs our market. Any 10 year old knows that.
You.
China is rolling all over us right now.
Biggest bilateral trade deficit with that country in the entire history of the entire world.
Ever.
And it has been getting even worse, ever single month this year.
You are just repeating talking points.
America is getting creamed by China.
Absolutely creamed.
Check out our trade balance with China:

That is the US government website. Look at the website, read our trade deficits with China.
Last year was the worst EVER.
It is getting even worse, every single month this year.
The worst. Ever. With any country. In the world. In all of human history.
Right now.
That’s like quoting the progress against Japan in March of 1942. The war just started dude.
I much more agree, with your terminology in your last post.
Trump gets, that China represents a real threat to America. An actual threat. China has a massive population, a government which is not compromising with us, they are attempting to dominate. And they are doing remarkably well, at that goal.
Every president before him, has seemed to be sold out, to China. Along with most of our establishment, our media, our businesses and our entire government.
Trump seems to be the very first American ever, to get that threat.
But there are TONS of Americans who are completely ok with the current sell-out.
They are the problem.
Just as much, as the Chinese.
China Factory Sector Hurt in September as Trade Frictions Bite

Well actually, H. Ross Perot got the threat.
Way back, when he was running for president.
He got it.. Way back then. He understood.
He tried to warn us, too. But too many, were aok with selling out.
We got another chance with Trump. It was about time...
Don’t recall that about Art. I knew he was happily married, and his devotion to talking with children... great interviews... Jog my memory...
Some of us well below 60 know who Art Linklater was, also :-)
Trump isn’t going to give up. Remember one of his top personal guidelines is “never give up”.
More so than Trump, many would have problems with Perot's social issues stances (pro-abortion etc)...
...but dammit, the guy KNEW and UNDERSTOOD why American industry and economy was going down the tubes. He WARNED us that NAFTA would be a disaster and that we had to fight it tooth and nail. He possessed the drive and initiative to fix things, as Trump is doing now.
A quarter century later has proven that Perot knew what he was talking about after all. His only blunders were dropping out then coming back into the race, and tapping James Stockdale to be his running mate. Absent those two events and Perot would have gained MUCH more than 19% of the vote.
Then again, maybe he really did and we weren't supposed to know. The deep state was in business even then. Who knows what it would be capable of pulling off in the fall of '92...
Good point. I sense something here too, such as Trump better understanding how Little Rocket Man thinks.
That took GUTS. Trump is going to be heckled for this, but — heheheh — it won’t hurt him, especially if he actually stabalizes North Korea.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un “fell in love” in recent months, paving the way toward what Trump called a “great relationship.”
the dumb ass media and our politicians don’t know this.
so, think about it in these terms.
Who has more power? The guy who loaned you one million dollars, or you, the guy who loaned one million dollars?
Unless you are gangster, and you’re going to kill me, the guy who owes you has more power. He can simply say, “I don’t have the money,” or “ I can’t pay you back right now.”
We can take all of our business to Latin America. We can all the crap made over in china made in South America. In fact, the agriculture and fish products will be better....
So, we have vastly more power. I see the end game here being what Trump wants, ie no Tariffs.
‘A quarter century later has proven that Perot knew what he was talking about after all.’
Was it CNN that was willing to sell Perot all of that air time? Back then CNN was already starting to veer left. They kept Buchanan around but kept screaming in his ear to keep his mouth shut at key moments. That’s why Buchanan sat back and laughed so much during Crossfire. I could sense something was ‘off’ about that.
But here’s the thing — Ted Turner recently criticized CNN for being too biased to the left.
Thank you! I found that very enlightening. Truly. I’m lucky enough to have traveled to many Asian, European, and at least one Middle Eastern country and live in them for a time. I know things are rarely as they are portrayed. Propaganda is everywhere.
Our biggest problem in America isn’t with any outside countries; it’s with the democrats and oligarchs (globalists). JMHO.
Worrying about a trade war with China is like telling a guy who is sprawled out on the ground, being beaten to a pulp by a bully, to stay on the ground and not try to get up because “you don’t want to start a fight.”
