In the last couple of years, there has been a lot of attention on the build-up of China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). It has undergone a major modernization effort and is now the largest naval force in the world. Just last month, the PLAN launched its third aircraft carrier – the second to be entirely indigenously built. This will allow China to flex its muscles in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond.

One hundred years ago our Republican ancestors were ALL ABOUT PROTECTIONISM. We need to return to our protectionist roots.
We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff to extend needed protection to our productive industries. We believe in protection as a national policy, with due and equal regard to all sections and to all classes. It is only by adherence to such a policy that the well being of the consumers can be safeguarded that there can be assured to American agriculture, to American labor and to American manufacturers a return to perpetrate American standards of life. A protective tariff is designed to support the high American economic level of life for the average family and to prevent a lowering to the levels of economic life prevailing in other lands.
In the history of the nation the protective tariff system has ever justified itself by restoring confidence, promoting industrial activity and employment, enormously increasing our purchasing power and bringing increased prosperity to all our people.
The tariff protection to our industry works for increased consumption of domestic agricultural products by an employed population instead of one unable to purchase the necessities of life. Without the strict maintenance of the tariff principle our farmers will need always to compete with cheap lands and cheap labor abroad and with lower standards of living.
Yes, Biden is the best president money can buy!
I did an Internet search. Anecdotal. Just was looking for actual figures.
Its not anecdotal. “Actual figures” would likely reside with Huawei - perhaps a text to Beijing would bring the results you are looking for?
Whatever. A legit inquiry devolves into snark (not very good at that).
Good luck.
You know, the ship that needs tugs to pull it and belches smoke.
The Chinese aircraft carriers are behind INDIA's aircraft carriers, and 40 years behind the USA's aircraft carriers.
