China doesn’t care about its citizens. China killed 3-4 million people during the communist land reform after taking over in the late 40s. They killed another couple of a million more suppressing “counterrevolutionaries in the early 50s. 2 million more died in the late 50s during the Anti-Rightist Campaign. They starved about 50 million people during the Great Leap Forward, and beat or tortured to death another 3 million suppressing the population at the same time. Ten thousand died in 1989 Tiananmen Square protest. China has detained more than one million Uyghurs against their will over the past few years in a large network of what the state calls "re-education camps". During Covid, China locked thousands in their apartments facing starvation.

One of those is not like the others.

I can't argue with any group corralling and containing Muslims without a much deeper dive into the issues around the containment.

China just halted Boeing deliveries. Planes that are already built. Costing us billions. China is a huge importer of those planes. Trump is getting hosed. Please don’t try to blame this on anyone else. Everyone knows who started this shite with 100% tariffs and the dumbest rhetoric ever. Should have done it like an adult. This is so much worst than the deep state.

Lol, you are a piece of work aren't you? The problem is Trump is the fist adult ever to have the balls to do this. When someone is used to screwing you, you can't just have a normal "adult" conversation with them as you put it. You have to show them you mean business. I'm guessing you are the type that thinks he can talk yourself out of a bar room brawl huh? Go ahead an tell me, how many times have you had that arse beat?

Are you sure that Trump started this? Are you 100% certain that China has been fair in its financial dealings with the US?

So do we. Mainly the "too big to fail."

We're currently shitting all over small business.

Ridiculous comparison.These are two entirely different things…both bad. Our big businesses are getting too cozy with government protection, but it's mainly protection from failing due to gambles that are often mandated by the government, such as the sub-prime mortgages. What China is doing is subsidizing businesses to sell under cost in order to run international competition out of business and have a near monopoly.

Small businesses are certainly hurt by America’s insuring of some large businesses, but it represents a small part of our market, so I refute your contention that “we” are currently shitting all over small businesses. This and regulatory complexity could improve the outlook for American small businesses, but it is currently still very good.

What if I told you that China has long been stealing intellectual property from its trading partners, including the US? Did Trump start that?

What if I told you that China has been manipulating its currency for decades to benefit its domestic industry and simultaneously damage the industries of its trading partners?

What if I told you that China's government is a leader in the practice of subsidizing its domestic industries to increase exports and decrease imports, once again helping its own industry at the expense of its trading partners? Is that Trump's fault? Did he start that?

Trade Implications of China's Subsidies

Are you still there Eddie? Still sure?

The government and oligarchs hallowed out our middle class. Shipped our jobs to China, not for diplomacy, not for peace but to exploit cheap labor. Crushed our working class and told us to be proud while they sold our future for profit.

China made money but what did they use it for. They used it to build roads, lift millions out of poverty, fund healthcare, raised living standards, and reinvested into their people.

What did the U.S. oligarchs do with all the money they made? Buy more yachts, doge taxes, manipulate the markets, pour billions into endless wars.

We ended up with stagnant wages, crippling healthcare costs, and mediocre infrastructure while they picketed our pockets.

China and the U.S. benefited from trading with each other but they used their money to build, not us.. we got sold out and now they got us blaming China.
