Time To Become Independent Of China.....

to buy unimportant products from them, eg, bathrobes, pencils,
rubber duckies.

‘Play dirty’: Chinese official threatens US medical supplies over Huawei fight

Some might say the Chinese cannot be trusted. I'd never
say such a thing. The can be trusted to behave this way.

Before you-know-who arrives to call this racist, it is about
the government of that country acting against our interest.
It is not about the race of most people in China.
(Yes, there are people other than Han Chinese.)

So it is OK to be racist when it comes to Han Chinese?
The USA has got this wierd thing about communism, in all its forms.
Though what passes for communism in China. Is a total hybrid form between capitalism and communism. However it is as totalitarian as Trump would like to be.

I take it any investments he has there, are doing rather better than most of his western ones.

It would seem to be reasonable for the Chinese to want parity of power with the USA.
They have at least as many trade interests.

Don't worry, all you need to do is to abandon the global free market.

EDIT:

Governments are supposed to act in the interest of their own people, not America.

I think so....the PRC is.
And you should hear what Han Chinese say about us yang guizi.

I don't think it's about their ostensible communism.
They pose a national security threat.
(In part due to clumsy US leadership.)

Evidence?

They're planning on parity by mid-century.
(I have an inside source.)
This should concern us.

You're wrong.
We've been untrustworthy (ie, unpredictable) these last few years.
The PRC is a much more stable government.

Criminy, you know nothing about foreign policy.

there is no such thing as independence. there is such thing as interdependence but independence is a fantasy.

Pay maybe dollar more on general goods made in the USA and watch the Renaissance for our country reborn again.

Well, the capitalists in the U.S. wanted cheap labor, so they jumped into the Chinese' bed with reckless abandon. It's only now that people are realizing that it wasn't such a good idea.

You could try this but there is a lot of fact checking to do....
But it is clear he has interests with China ties both sides of the water.

Racist in great power jousting?

I don't know who "you know who" refers to. Kodos? Kang?

I think you might be confusing China with NAFTA...(does the quote "...that giant sucking sound..." ring a bell?)

I understand that China buys a lot of soybeans from us so you are going to disappoint a lot of soybean farmers.

I've never been about purity & absolutes.
But we can have effective strategic independence.

 

[Revoltingest]

I don't think it'll hurt.

Aye, there have been problems.
But it's not just the capitalists.
Our socialist citizens love to buy products straight from Chinese companies.

 

[Revoltingest]

Just lost all the respect for you that was left.

So there was some respect?
But I'm clueless why it's changed.
I recognize your moniker, but I don't recall your interests or views.

You know....that guy who says stuff like that.

I guess it's a bit of both.

There will be deleterious repercussions.
We must balance national security with economic loss.
