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.
Fixed it.
