>>Don’t people realize that so much of the resource that China gets from the world goes into their gov’t.& their military? We should not be doing business with them.
Of course people know.
The citizens know and we have no choice. Almost everything we buy comes from China. In many cases there is no alternative.
The corporations know and they don’t care. They have decided that they are “citizens of the world” and their top execs can live in Shanghai or Beijing as comfortably as they live in NYC. The people on the assembly line are just disposable assets to them.
The government knows and is doing this on purpose. Its goal is to drive Americans into poverty so we can “compete globally” which means having a standard of living that is comparable to that of a Chinese peasant.
And in the meantime the former “arsenal of democracy” continues to deindustrialize. I pray that we will not regret losing our factories and manufacturing skills. Someday, and it may be sooner than we would like to think, we may need the facilities and skilled workers necessary to build more than a few engines of war.
