The trade situation with China is TERRIBLE.

But somehow, it's good for business. So it seems. I can't say I understand it, but isn't this laissez faire ?

How is it good for business?

An ever growing group of Americans no longer work. Housing is getting ever more expensive. We import EVERYTHING anymore, and we generate terrible deficits in our trade currently.

China is taking over what America used to do. Except they are not a democracy. Our entire philosophy seems to be sell out as much and as fast a possible.

We are even losing our military edge to China, who simply spends, and spends, and spends, and spends, and spends.

How in the world is this good for business?

No, it is the influence of political ‘pull’. Let the buyer beware is based on due diligence and the best product for the right price wins. The founders never dreamed we would import items that put our own neighbors in the poor house while stuffing the pockets of those with political clout.
