Are you aware they are the largest buyer of US debt, helping to keep us out of bankruptcy? Are you aware of the number of “deals” the US has broken, like the promise not to extend NATO beyond the countries that were members when the Soviet Union split up? If the Chinese violated an agreement, there are international courts where those complaints can be made. I notice that the US spends an awful lot of time complaining about what other countries do while doing NOTHING to make itself more competitive - like secure its borders, provide excellent educations to its citizens, encourage cheap energy, promote a sound currency, minimize regulations on businesses so the US is an attractive place for manufacturing. Instead of always bitching and moaning and “threatening” other countries the US should do what “great countries” do - lead by example.
The only conclusion I can reach about you is that either
1) You’re a paid shill for the CCP. In which case I’m sorry for you that you sold your soul, and you aren’t worth responding to any further, or
2) You’re a complete ignoramus.
First of all, China owns a very small percentage of US debt, and no, they aren’t keeping US out of bankruptcy, to say so is to be completely ignorant of the subject. Their entire holding is less than 3% of the total US debt, and there are plenty of other countries and people who will buy it should they decide to sell. Which BTW they have, China has been selling US debt nonstop for years now, their total holding is now only about 50% of what they once held, yet it has not driven down the price of US debt because other people and countries buy it up. Japan now is the #1 holder of US debt.
As for international courts, there are a dozen lawsuits filed against China just in the WTO alone, every single one that has had a ruling was ruled against China, with the rest still the pending. The result, nothing. Because China doesn’t follow the rules and there are no mechanism for those rulings to be enforced. Trump’s tariffs against China is the first time a country have taken real action against China for their violation of trade rules.
Once again, of course of the US should strive to increase our productivity to better our economy. That’s a complete non sequitur to the fact that the CCP is actively trying to damage the US where ever and when ever they find an opportunity, and it’s long past due for the US to do something about it.
