You are wrong about a lot of what you speak. Much of it is empty rhetoric and hyperbole.
Admittedly I’m not an expert ... but I have done a lot of business in China. I’m over there often so I see what their manufacturers are capable of doing. Some are doing excellent work. Most are fucking pathetic.
I’ve made business decisions that moved manufacturing away from China and into other places. Pay a bit more but get a hell of a higher quality. Our customers appreciate that. They buy more. We lose to China almost never. Except in China.
The Chinese make a lot of shit. Cheap shit. They don’t have a monopoly on making cheap shit. But they are the global leader in fucking over American business via IP theft. I assume you are ok with this. I am not.
Trump is taking a stand. Decades of trade mismanagement is now at a crossroads. Either we continue to allow the Chinese to walk all over us or we come to a mutually beneficial agreement.

Yeah. He must be doing the the Richard Nixon thing tonight.
Wandering the halls of the WH, mumbling to himself and talking to the oil paintings.
I am totally cool with that. The Made In USA sneaks, that is. Won't hurt folks to wear them out instead of wear them a couple months and toss them. Won't hurt a thing to make more manufacturing jobs for Americans. Now, many of you here are too young to remember this, but bear with me. Believe it or not, at one time there were LOTS of factory jobs here in the USA. And believe it or not, at one time in America, every family had at least one person working full time at some job or trade or profession. I say it is high time we started reversing all this globalism that has only enriched the rich, and pacified the underemployed with cheap foreign goods in plentitude. It is high time corporate America started being accountable to America and its citizens, even if they are not shareholders. Our corporate culture has done a lot of good things, such as giving us something to trade, but it has also turned the consumer into a tool. A money spigot. A faceless thing that is programmed by the machine to buy the product, using the same money that the consumer pays, for his own brainwashing. What a concept! Probably can't change that. But we can MAYBE bring some of those jobs back home. And maybe we can figure out a way to stop buying votes with government handouts to people who COULD work, if they just WOULD. We don't need other countries dumping their cheap and cheaply made goods on us. We don't owe them a piece of our American economic pie, either. We should give to those who have something to give that we need. We don't need cheaper sneakers. Sorry. And, well, I won't get started on that... never mind what.
Please describe to me how this is fucking over America to the tune of billions of dollars per year.
What Americans should be careful of is food coming from China. I am referring to rice with shredded plastic in it to increase the volume of the rice and increase Chinese profits. That is criminal in itself! Remember Lumber Liquidators too? They bought tainted wood tile floors with formaldehyde which is used in embalming death people and highly cancerous! That came from China too!
Too bad Nixon didn't have a smart-phone.
That would make a good (timely) retro comedy skit on SNL...
You are replying to your own post. Bad sign, possible senility incoming. I am waiting for Laces out to respond to my query to him about how IP theft from China is hurting us. And even what IP theft is. Or something.
Hey Tsznecki.... I'm sure you think that's funny... but its not. Its actually pretty... what's the word I'm looking for.... "pussiefied". Or cowardly... that's a good one too.
I'm sure you stand corrected.
Carry on.
