Leading GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has made it clear that, when it comes to China, hes very much in sync with socialist Democrat Bernie Sanders. [snip]
But no matter, since theyre both wrong, as an in-depth piece in the New Yorker makes pretty clear.

You let a little thing like that bother you. The real problem with America is what Trump said about Rosie O'Donnell.
I've been saying this for years. It's funny how different your perspective is once you've done business in other countries.
China relies so heavily on foreign trade because they have to do business in other currencies. Their own currency is worthless, for all intents and purposes.
Yeah, he agrees. Both China and Trump hate the TPP. imho China, Trump, and Sanders are wrong.
So what if some jobs are coming back. Our manufacturing sector had been decimated. The magazine obviously likes the cheap slave labor. To the contrary, it appears that both Trump and Sanders are right on this issue.
And it's worth noting that with QE1, QE2, QE3, etc. -- the U.S. is no different than anyone else when it comes to manipulating its currency value.
Give it up man. Your done.
China will eventually join the TPP.

It might have helped your case if the guys you were supporting weren’t the uniparty sell-out American crowd. Your better strategy would have been to stay out of it, realize DC needs drastic reformation to save the American economy and weigh in on issues where you had something to say. But no, you had to throw your lot in with the sell-out crowd. I don’t get it. But there you go.
Excellent — but sobering — post.
What you say is pure liberal media lies.
Anyone can learn 100% of what the government schools are supposed to be teaching but instead only teach nothing but socialist indoctrination. With Google , the Internet ,Youtube anyone can learn this .
Anyone can learn 90% of job skills with youtube , Google , the Internet.
Robots are coming. Your attempt to say like Cruz that we need to import H1B visas is pure lies. They are just more voters for socialism . Why would a conservative be for bringing in immigrants which vote for socialism? Right you nor Cruz are conservative but marxists.

The educational system is run by the liberals/Democrats so what lie are you imagining? Obviously you have not gone out into the real world in a long time if you imagine US kids are being educated to the same degree as kids in high educational achievement countries.
You are just upset that I said your idol DJT cannot wave a wand and change the system.
And if you imagine youtube or google supply anything remotely educational you have been shut in far too long.
The problem seems to lie in your educational background - specifically your reading skills - I never said that we need to import more H1B people but exactly the contrary. If you imagine I’m some sort of Marxist - well have you even read Marx? I’ll wager you never read any political philosopher let alone Marx or Hegal.
Cruz can go jump in the same lake as your idol for all I care.
Enough of the ad hominums please.
In a recent train ride through China, I was struck by the thousands upon thousands of tiny odd shaped pieces of land across the countryside. These pieces were usually all smaller than my front yard. In each and every one, there would be a peasant, usually wearing what we call a coolie hat, working hard, diligently tilling his meager plot - all with hand tools. These subsistent farmers knew that every calorie stolen by a weed or bird meant one less calorie to sustain his family. Each longed for the pennies per hour factory job in the city, because that likely meant a 200 square foot apartment and a more steady food supply.
Now contrast that with the US welfare peasants. Their biggest problem is obesity and maybe an unreliable cable connection. Which would you rather hire?
I can’t verify all of those timelines without doing further research but can agree that today’s manufacturing floor looks much different than those of long ago when I started back in the 70’s, where I was able to start nearly right out of high school, soldering circuit boards and worked my way up from there. We had on the job training and classes. Even then, factory automation was coming on line. Forming components dropped out, wave soldering replaced hand soldering (left for rework and engineering change-driven hand work) I’ve read the article and can agree with the ‘lean-driven’ shop floors of today. But we also started that back in the 70’s, with Quality Circles (called six sigma these days but the improvement tools are essentially the same). While I’m happy to see Appliance Park in Kentucky doing well, the larger electronics industry has been left in the dust here in the U.S.
Tech schools and schooling. Tech school (in lieu of High school) back in my day largely consisted of auto repair for boys and hairdressing for girls. ITT back then taught electronics testing and was and is still expensive.
Drafting is essentially an art lost to technology, as is printing unless you are skilled in Auto-Cad, 3-D modeling, 3-D printing, etc. Training the industrial workers of today and tomorrow has to include computer skills to run these machines, along with the basic and fundamental skills. That holds true for electronics or machining (need CNC) Agree wholeheartedly with the observations on apprenticeships and teaming new workers with skilled experts from the old school. I’ve lamented that in the past as well but was fortunate enough myself to find them. I could go on but will leave it at that for now. Good article.
Ha Ha !
anyone that works in the IT industry can tell you how "educated" these "can't speak a word of discernible english" H1B workers are and just how qualified they are for IT positions. Let me sum it up for you.
THEY SUCK !
A small amount of “reshoring “ of US jobs from China is a drop in the bucket compared to more than thirty years of moving US jobs to take advantage of cheap labor in China and elsewhere.
BS article. Trump is right.
This article just proves that the IBD really leans left, and is part of the cabal.
Jezz another person that has poor reading comprehension skills. Notice the word ‘without’? I just said we do not need them if we have an educated work force of which you do not seem to be a member.
FACT- China has avoided a repeat of the Cultural Revolution by finding jobs for its youth at the expense of jobs for our own youth.
