and the real power in China, the military, will not let Xi continue in war he cannot win for much longer. We export 5 times as much as they do, so who’s got the stronger negotiating position? They’re basically out of ammo with the last round of tarriffs, over 80%. We can continue to squeeze for months.

So Trump isn’t a member of the stupid, traitorous ex-Presidents Club comprised of Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, and DingleBarry, who sold out the citizens of this country to China, all in the name of campaign contributions and globalism?

Someone’s getting there walking papers at the New York Post come Monday. How did this one get by the editors?

I don’t believe this.

If the chinese were as fearful as the article indicates—they would be negotiating the trade deal trump has called for—with the full knowledge that if they fail to do so—they’ll lose american trade entirely and worse access to american technology.

“After all, the masses must be told who to blame for China’s recent economic difficulties.
The official Global Times has even published an article calling for US administration officials to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office.”

So China and the Dems are aligned in wanting to impeach Trump. Sounds like the Dems would like Xi as the 101st Senator to assist them with their efforts.Look for lots of hidden Chinese money supporting Dems in the midterms

Almost from the moment he took power in 2012, the Chinese leader was so confident that his own country’s rise was unstoppable, and so certain that America was in terminal decline, that he openly boasted about the China-dominated world to come.

...

I would, too, considering that Obama was president.

Trump should start with 10% tariffs on China and raise them every year another 10%. This gives companies enough time to adjust. They will contract outside of China, and even build factories outside of China.

China has lots of problems, one of which is the worlds worst pollution. Water, air, and simply trash pollution is horrible in China. Corruption is rampant as well as fraud in the private sector. Then there is racism, nationalism and classism. China has very few morals and the government attacks most religions. Its ok in China to take whatever you can get away with, at the expense of others. China needs a good spanking to clean up their act.

You can watch what China did to Japan as a way to handle them. China’s propaganda revived the “We hate the Japanese” propaganda from WW2 to stop their people from buying Japanese products. This worked somewhat. Japanese products are much higher quality than those made in China. But the Chinese government gets what they want by lying to their people. Whipping them up into a hate mob. America is going to have to live with that. But in doing so, we will give shade to Taiwan, Japan and Australia, countries who have been abused by China over the past decade. We don’t need China. China needs us.

If China plays it’s cards right, they will get a smaller percentage of a much larger pie.

So will we.

Win-win...

Xi......

What are his young people telling him?

I suspect they want to continue their relative prosperity rather than be forced to accept probable austerity.

They are not interested in the hardship of the long march

There’s nothing special about China with respect to manufacturing. Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand Malaysia can pick up the slack on low tech manufacturing. Taiwan, South Korea, and japan can do hi tech. China is the #1 strategic economic and military enemy of the US.

Good move. US military exports to Pac rim will go up.

Thanks for posting this article. It was very well-written.

From the article:

“The Art of War has met The Art of the Deal. And The Art of the Deal has won.”

Ha ha! I’ve never heard it put better!

They said it:

“his (Trump’s) goal is not just to rectify the trade deficit, but to eliminate the threat that a rising China poses to the US.”

Basically, the rest of the world is on board with the program, because a rising China is a threat to almost everyone else. They have accumulated enemies.

It is The LORD who raises up leaders, and brings them down. Let us now bow in humble adoration for what He has done for our undeserving selves.
