Overwhelming Majority Say Time To ‘Decouple’ From China
If there is one thing to come out of this pandemic, it is the fact that Americans believe the U.S. relationship with China has to change. Support for this runs across party lines and education levels.
The golden days of China as the go-to manufacturing hub for American companies is becoming a bygone era. At leasts that is what more than 70% of survey respondents say they want in a world post-pandemic.
Survey firm McLaughlin & Associates released their poll of American attitudes towards China on April 22 and it showed that 75% felt that the U.S. should end its dependence on China for medical imports, including things like N95 respirators and even ibuprofen, two markets China dominates.
That opinion holds across party lines with 62% of Democrats saying we need to end some or all dependence on China for medical equipment; 80% of Independents and 85% of Republicans.
When asked whether they agreed that post-pandemic life meant the U.S. and China trade relationship should change, 72% said they agreed and only 15% said they disagreed.
Even those who disapprove of President Trump agreed that decoupling was in order, with 62% of those self-identified as disliking the president saying so. Within Trump’s camp, a whopping 86% said it was time to decouple.
Battleground and non-battleground states felt the same way about China, with around 72.5% saying they agreed the trade relationship had to change.
Moreover, some 60% of African-Americans said post-pandemic relations needed to change and 65% of Hispanics agreed, as well. College educated and non-college educated were also on board, with an average of 72.5% agreeing.
When asked if the U.S. should outright “withdraw manufacturing from China”, the number was still high, but by a smaller margin with 59% for a withdrawal.
Despite, the Russia narrative peddled by Democrats, it is China who is a bigger threat to the US. They have numerous spies in the US stealing intellectual property and military secrets. Have hacked numerous institutions of the US starting with the military and top companies too. They also, have numerous Chinese nationals working for US companies and even the US military as contractors. The US should flush the spies out at a minimum and trying to catch them when they are in the act of stealing classified information is too little too late. Democrats too have close relations to China due to the financial benefits they are reaping. The look the other way to Chinese abuses. To be be fair, RINO liberals are also, in cahoots with the Chinese.
