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.

Except for the widely estimated 20% or so who are believing Christians, outside of the official rule of the country.

But a tipping point is fast approaching.

Let um do that.

Far easier could Tiny Tim (with no Kryptonite) hold down Superman. They will just look stupid. Have faith in God. This is of divine dimensions.

Huntsman would be a good pick for Sec State based on his vast experience with China. IMO

Schiff also predicted that gold would be selling for $5000/oz. He’s not infallible.

China adopted the mercantilist policies of 19th century America and it has served them well.

Absolutely. Another really good one is Bill Bonner. He’s been very accurate except for the “coming meltdown”. He’s even made fun of himself on it regarding he had no idea just how far down the road they could successfully kick the can.

But the end of the road IS nigh.

There is no evidence that coolie made imports are any cheaper than their made in the USA counterpart. The difference in labor rates is pocketed and distributed to stock holders and execute staff.

And, the 20% doesn’t include “nut case” sects, like one that almost fooled me into thinking it was orthodox Christian till I saw some of its theology. However the “nut case” sects could be additional support in waiting, once God makes His character and blessings more obvious.

They are cheaper off of the shortchanging of the coolies and off of the rape of the Chinese landscape. Somebody paid to subsidize them, a payment of pain. Sooner or later they will get tired of the pain.

No, China must prepare for a showdown with Trump.

That's more like it!

God allowed the Teflon applied to Hillary by satan’s little demons to be pierced.

Some of these visionaries could be early, rather than wrong.

Here’s something that I think is worth noting (rather than nothing) but I gladly put it up for history (and God) to judge.

The space that our modern lefties claim to occupy, is a space that God deserves to occupy. The lefties put no personal skin in the game. They don’t suffer anything real for the sake of the benefit of the downtrodden. They always leave themselves an out from the taxes that everybody else is supposed to pay. Yet they crow about how virtuous they are.

Well, robbing Peter to pay Paul will not last forever. God will hear Peter’s screams.

God put His skin in the game. Literally. At Calvary. The sacrifice was necessary.

Once God’s sacrifice is appropriated by souls willing to use it for purposes of glorifying God, the devil’s imitation game — our lefties who cannot gin up any good — is just outclassed.

That is my take. It’s really hard to predict the time, but it’s not always all that difficult to predict the outcome.

It’s kinda like seeing a guy that can’t handle his money. You may see him building up more and more debt to the point that it is clear that his job simply can’t support it, but you can’t predict the day it all comes crashing down.

It doesn’t mean you are a doom and gloomer when you tell him he is going to lose his house or his car is going to be repossessed.

To me, this is that obvious.

The result may defy worldly sense, though. Someone could buy the fellow out for reasons beyond human fathoming.

That’s where the true visionary sees the inflection points that indicate such a thing is on the horizon.
