Never trust a communist. The problem is that out government and education system are full of them now. We are being defeated from the inside.
This all started with Clinton. When the political class began to see the payoffs from the Chinese, they were all for it.

To understand China’s mentality and strategies, the book “The Art of War” should be read and studied.
I read it many times and then read “The Art of War” by Chairman Mao telling how he used this book’s strategies to take over China. It was an eye opener.
“The Art of War” by Mao Tse-tung contains his four most important discourses on warfare: “Problems of Strategy in China’s Revolutionary War” “Problems of Strategy in Guerrilla War Against Japan” “On Protracted War” and “Problems of War and Strategy.”
The unwritten corollary is that successive administrations have acted as the "fiddle" to be played. America First, as a strategy, was attacked by Democrats as racist, so in part they assisted greatly in "resining the bow" to play the "fiddle."
I recommend a visit to the “China Observer” YT channel. China is currently going through something very similar to America’s Great Depression - it’s really quite amazing. My concern is that something like this could be contagious to the rest of the world.
I favor a US sourcing strategy.
The things that can be economically made in the USA by highly automated means should be made in the USA.
The Japanese are trying to shift production of their branded products out of China.
Wow!

Next they are going to discover water is wet.
