Very few Americans understand how grave the Chinese threat is.

We defeated the USSR because we outproduced them. Our citizens had a higher standard of living that theirs envied and our military was so well equipped the couldn’t compete.

How do we do the same to China when most of what Americans earn is shipped east in exchange for knick knacks and baubles?

I agree, we need to severely limit trade with China, but instead we are doing the opposite. The NBA should be prohibited from any commercial deals with China, same for Apple etc.

We should have thought of this a few decades ago. It was Bush and the GOP who signed the free trade deals with the communists, with support from Rush and many Freepers. We literally sent them the money and technology they are using to build up their military.

In return, we save $.10 on communist made paint brushes, and that's assuming you don't count paying back the interest on the money we borrow to buy their products.

Now we want to accuse Biden of being weak against them, but whose stupid free trade deals made them into the threat they now are in the first place?
