BEIJING (Reuters) - China understands people in the United States have the right to say what they want, but most want good relations with China, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday, apparently dismissing repeated attacks by billionaire Donald Trump as "disturbances".

The Republican presidential hopeful has recently focused his ire on China's currency, which the government devalued last month. He has also accused China of stealing U.S. jobs.

Chinese President Xi Jinping visits the United States later this month.

America needs to be for American growth once again.

Stop expanding into China.

China won't even allow foreign companies to own there. China won't even allow foreigners to move there. Make stuff right here.

America used to completely rule the world.

Now, we’ve given away a large portion of what was once the largest manufacturing base in world history, for a minority stake in a massive Chinese manufacturing base, and we continue to be clueless.

Donald alone, seems to get that America needs to be for America.

China doesn’t allow foreign ownership of a majority of any assets. Everything needs a Chinese ownership entity.

China doesn’t allow foreigners to immigrate. Unless they are Chinese.

America, we need to be for America once again.

America needs to be for America. We are completely sold out to China. Completely. 94,000,000 Americans don’t have jobs. China runs a 342 billion dollar surplus with America, and that is growing.

Chinese have freedom to move here, and buy land.

Americans do not have freedom to move there, nor buy Chinese assets, except as minority owners.

The current relationship is totally screwed up.

Completely.

If there are as many people out there who are aching to buy American made goods as you seem to think, there would be companies meeting that demand.

On the other hand, perhaps you want the government to force the market to build things in the USA. Do you?

The manufacturing jobs that moved to China did so because Chinese wages were cheaper than buying and installing robots to do those jobs in the United States. Make it a requirement to manufacture Stateside and you'll quickly see how affordable those robots become.

It's funny how many Freepers who cheer for burger-flipping robots to replace those $15/hour "minimum wage" employees at Burger King don't get this.

The days of millions of Americans standing at assembly lines, putting bolts on washing machines or snapping tubes into TV chassis, are, simply, over.

And what we have to do is to figure out how to make an economy work when those jobs just do not exist any more.
