WRT China, what president has done anything to make them believe otherwise.
We for some insane reason long ago came to the (wrong) conclusion that America should maintain a posture of weakness and submissiveness in every way about China.
Which is the exact wrong thing for us to do. As China becomes stronger, China will become more aggressive.
Period.
The more money and technology we send to China, the more aggressive and dangerous the country will become.
We are creating our own worst possible enemy, by our bone-headed and wrong policy, of not standing up for our interests vis-a-vis China.
It didn’t have to be this way. But now that it is, we have got to change the way we do business with China.
Or frankly, we’re going to be destroyed as a nation and a culture, within one generation.
Wake up people.
