    I only comment as an individual who has been involved in investment markets for decades and has been to China many times, so my views are empirical, and anecdotal.

    Others may have differing views.

     

    China is a country run on a targeted economic competition.

    They pay no attention to any environmental issues. No child labor issues. No slave type working conditions.

    They impose heavy tariffs on imported goods, thus denying US products fair exposure in their markets.

     

    They routinely allow and support violation of patents and intellectual property rights.

    Go to the Silk Market in Beijing. You will see vendor after vendor on many floors selling products with US company logos on them at prices far below what is reasonable. Totally unenforced.

     

    I was talking to a guy who was the Chief Operating Officer; the actual production guy, on a flight there.

    Silicon Valley company.

    He relayed to me his experience.

    His company had come up with leading edge solar panel technology and wanted to have these produced in China.

    The Chinese gov made them submit the technology to them in some convoluted effort to determine if the production would be "safe."

     

    They complied. Within months, a Chinese production facility was built and up and running using their exact technology and producing an identical product.

    Completely stolen.

    That's what happens when the gov is behind the fraud.

    I won't even get into the abuses of the industry I was involved in.

     

    Massive bribery is required to get various things done there.

     

    No reasonable, objective and accurate financial reports.

     

    I could go on and on, but failing to see that gov as a gross violator on international trade issues is an incredibly foolish posture, and ultimately a serious threat to US and western, law abiding trade and labor.

     

    Well said. China hasn’t adhered to the WTO mandates, the U.S. has been outspoken about their continued negligence.

     

    Ironically, the WTO railed, to China’s defense, when Trump placed his tariffs on them. Trump admitted that it was done in part because of China routinely stealing intellectual property and profiting without any repercussions. 
     

    The WTO had also sided with China on their complaints that the U.S. was in violation of tariff laws because they deemed them retaliatory by the Obama administration and fined the U.S.

     

    Simply, China is running roughshod exploiting the WTO and the WTO is strangely fine with it.

    Anybody who doesn't understand the need to enforce tariffs on countries that deliberately put US products and services at a distinct disadvantage in their domestic markets has no idea of what goes on.

    Trade is best when on a level field.

    To deny that is job market suicide.

    Regarding trade and everything, the Left mindset is “no matter what it is, if Trump is for it, we’re against it”.

    Oh for *****'s sake.

     

    Lordstown, the FIRST GM US plant listed there, was abandoned by GM in 2019.

     

    *It* doesn't need protection. Your love for $500 TVs over your countrymen is noted.

    Exactly. The U.S. will gobble up $10,000 Chinese EV’s. 
     

    They’re lined up at the border waiting to run amok too.

    The authors even admitted a) they don't know the party affiliation of people who died and b) they don't know the vaccination status of those who died, and Ill add c) they don't know if people died with Wuhan virus or from it.

    Facts be damn, you’re dealing with one who is giddy and gloating about death.

    This dolt didn't open the links to see they are all referencing the discredited study it  provided a few post ago.  

     

    Come on.  You can do better. 

    No, they cannot.

    My son got accepted into University of Minnesota law school and was planning on going there because it was the highest-ranked school he got into (we're still waiting/hoping on some others).  But none of us were enthused about it for many reasons so he has decided to go elsewhere and we're happy about it.

    Sorry to hear that. But, with your son being accepted there, he’ll surely be accepted to other well regarded law schools.

     

    Minnesota/Minneapolis were gamed by the Left to near ruination, like so many big cities. They are at a point of no return.

    Imagine being told by a one world government cabal of communists to turn over all rights and freedoms indefinitely with only “evidence” coming from the CCP and then not demanding repercussions and more - imagine being such a despicable moron you’d have to be to go along with it.  


    Nevermind a one world cabal controlling your rights, how about a Governor and an Attorney General?

     

    They're doing it:

    …..and as far as the despicables that willfully go along with this?

     

    The Left perceive it as anti-Trump and blindly swallow it whole, like they do with all Dem droppings.
