You’ve been here since 1998, you live in China, and you claim that China doesn’t export much to the US?
What???
China exports to the USA represent less than 20% of their total exports. Please do not put words in my mouth that I did not say. China is a global manufacturer. It is the height of ignorance to assume that the vast bulk of Chinese exports targets America.
So while , to Americans, it might appear that China has overwhelmed American manufacturing capability. That is simply an illusion. The greatest percentage of exports out of China goes to Japan and Germany.
All those “high quality” Lecia (German) cameras, and high-end Hitachi (Japanese) electronics are all made in China, and have doing so for over ten years.
America needs a government that will look after the needs of its’ people. Global trade is good, but only if both parties benefit. Otherwise it is a zero sum game, and one nations wins while the other suffers losses.
