I would trade 100 domestic service sector jobs for every 1 domestic manufacturing job.
Both for the sake of the American job seeker, and for the overall economy.

I doubt that there was much of anything behind the promise to begin with.

Jack Ma sounds like one of the liberal talking heads in the leftists’ networks.
Why not complain to the Chinese “leadership”? Jackass!

Did I say I’d create 1 million jobs?
No, no. I said, ummm, “Wonderful Steve Jobs.” Yeah, he was great.
Sorry you misunderstood.

With 66k jobs worldwide March 2018 he was promising one million new jobs in America? Really? Most of his business is consumer-to-consumer trade where he makes a cut.
1M new jobs? That's a stretch from the get-go, but the jobs would all be minimum wage jobs for wetbacks anyway.
He's Chinese. He will promise you the moon to get concessions but you will just be left with a sore bottom when he is done with you.
