Mods if you find it is not, or is incorrect, nuke away.
But this seems like a very real article.
Can we please, stop importing everything from China, and start rebuilding our own manufacturing base again?
That, is not going to happen.
Manufacturing is not coming back. If it does, it will all be robots and it won’t employ anyone but robot maintenance people.
We make and buy a lot of things from China, and they make a lot of money from us.
A war would be bad for both countries, so I doubt that either would want a war.
Of course, apart from that, decreasing regulations would help us build up our manufacturing base.
But war is not the answer.
Thank You. You’re absolutely right.
We do not need a single thing China produces, and China can Not maintain it’s Communist Death Grip on its own people without our money.
This nonsense about we can’t Afford to produce hard goods domestically does not figure in our Intelligence, Military Deterrence, and Foreign Aid costs to other friendly Governments within China’s desired sphere of influence/dominance.
So the next time you buy a Cheap Pair of Imported from China Blue Jeans, think about what those jeans cost us in the form of Aircraft Carrier Battle groups we have to keep in the region.
Guess it’s a good thing I can’t enlist or be drafted.
China has been in an economic war with the US since the 1980’s and is winning. Through its mercantilist trade policies and the stupidity or treason of US politicians, it has gutted our manufacturing base.
North Korea is a bankrupt country unable to feed its own people. Yet it is engaged in offensive nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs which cost billions of dollars plus 21st century technical knowledge. This effort would be impossible without substantial assistance from a 1st or 2nd tier economic and technological power. China could stop North Korea in a second. It continues to support this militarization of the Korean peninsula which is targeted at the United States.
China is currently signing bilateral and multilateral trade agreements intended to dethrone the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
China is stealing US technology and intellectual property.
China has bribed US politicians since the Clinton administration, if not before.
China is hacking US commercial, government, and military systems.
China is facilitating the illegal immigration to the US by its citizens.
China is rapidly building its military even though it faces no immediate threat. It is developing an offensive capability.
The US is not fighting back. China is winning.
We already had one with them in the early 50’s.
My Dad was there.
Let’s get it done.....
China posing more restrictions daily on passage through the South China Sea, with airbases already constructed on islands therein against legitimate claims to other countries sovereignty. They mean to stay and to increase that presence.
What are we prepared to do?
