NOTHING should be subsidized. If a product can’t make it in a free market… tough. Let it die.

I agree. Subsidizing is straight-up a communist move — and China has turned it into a global weapon.
The ugly truth though, is that China doesn’t just compete; it cheats. They steal intellectual property, copy our inventions, then flood the world with dirt-cheap, government-subsidized versions. They dump those products everywhere, crushing unsubsidized competitors and warping global markets. It’s not trade — it’s economic warfare dressed as business.

And somehow, we keep letting them get away with it. We let China’s TikTok run wild here — an app their own citizens aren’t even allowed to touch in the same form. We let Nvidia and AMD hand over advanced chip tech for short-term profit, as if feeding the beast will make it friendlier.

Meanwhile, China blocks Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, and every major Western platform. But we let them shove their state-linked TikTok app right down our throats and call it “free market exchange.”

We’re not losing because China’s smarter. We’re losing because we’ve stopped defending our own interests. They play hardball. We play nice. And that’s why they keep winning.

The only thing that could save us. Anti-China tariffs. But they only got 10% of new tariffs. Hopefully this will change soon. If not, we have lost the trade war.
