Economist: Trump must prepare for a showdown with China
Fox News ^ | Published December 05, 2016 | Peter Morici

President-elect Donald Trump faces immediate challenges: managing the war against ISIS, fixing ObamaCare and boosting growth to create jobs. But as the fallout from his recent conversation with the president of Taiwan indicates, an increasingly assertive China poses the most vexing and far-reaching challenges for American prosperity and security.

China has accomplished hyper growth supplying Western consumers with inexpensive goods and attracting Western investment to obtain necessary technology, but it has hardly played by the established rules and norms of global trade. It has subsidized exports, manipulated its currency and engaged in other abusive practices.

China needs us far more than we need them.

They know this and now they know that we know this.

This economist must be a professor of “obvious studies”.

Can I do without goods from China? Yeh...if I don't need anything except food.

What we need is a catalog of USA companies, their products and on line access perhaps.

It may sound ironic, but I believe one of the wisest first moves here is to pray for God to bless China.

Bless China?

Yes, bless China. Bless China with more freedom.

Look at it from the common Chinese person’s viewpoint for a moment. They’ve been serving Communist slave bosses, who want to flaunt Chinese riches, by producing stuff for the USA under slavery conditions. Many of the oxen are muzzled as they are treading out the grain.

Don’t you think God has a better deal for them? And for America, to quit being a party to that?

Although I wouldn’t say China is at the tipping point quite yet, certainly Christianity is increasing in China. It’s actually a big movement now. (I suspect that you are well aware.) God’s blessing would certainly help them a great deal. And us.

“Showdown with China” a a continuing drama that goes on every day, and every day brings still more challenges. There is no “master agreement and done” when dealing with China, it is arm-wrestling with an octopus.

And a pretty sly and scheming octopus, to boot.

You’re thinking what I’m thinking, and more.

God bless America; God bless China.

Well all that really needs to happen, is to chop off the head of the octopus.

If he’s the effective negotiator that I think he is, no showdown will be necessary. Instead, a win-win scenario, where we just happen to win more.

LMAO > here...

These folks are so handy with post reality suggestions.

Trump knew this before June 16th, 2015.

Seems like it’s never to late to offer advise you can point to when Trump accomplishes his task. Then you can say he listened to you. Yes, he listened 18 months before the advice was given.

He’s that good. LOL

And a showdown with God.

Methinks some proud party bosses are going to take a hard, hard fall in many places around the world before long — having been superseded by a better way and now becoming useless (unless some repent, of course).

“Not by power, nor by might, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord, shall this mountain be removed.”

If so... it’s because He heard from God.

“Hey you!” One of the scariest things one can hear from the Lord. Because you know your life will never be the same again. Scary, that is, until you discover what the Lord can, and WILL, do.
