Its not just “chicoms” - it is China’s 5000 top-down centralized, statist rule. The Communists have just become the new Emperors.
China wants absolute control over its borders - in the past, that meant people and armies, but now that also includes information, technology, labor, production, news, social trends, etc... from the outside.
I am not anti-China, but its also why “free trade” with China is an impossibility, at least in the American laissez-faire sense.
Yep, and it is also the reason I've warmed to Trump now that he has demonstrated that he understands the difference between China and Japan.
