The trade has to be fair.
China regulates it's currency so that PRC goods are always cheaper.
Chinese companies have nowhere near the same amount of gov't regulation that Western companies do.
"Slave" labor.

America is to blame as well.
In our quest for cheap labor, cheap prices, etc, we have enabled our enemies (which PRC is) to slowly gain control of world economics.

China has several billion US dollars, T-bills, etc.
Picture what would happen if the PRC decided to sell off their T bills and/or greenbacks?

The war would be won without firing one round.

The people that can fight back know better. They all learned that in WWII.

Curse those Democrats. They should develop a test for the fetus to check for birth defects like liberalism. Abortion is out of the question but at least folks could decide to put the kids up for adoption. In Canada, of course.
