There are alot of internal struggles within the US. But one way for China to offset her money is export US coal to China. Currently, the US is having trouble building the necessary ports along the West coast due to public outcry against them.

However, I feel the US could easily build these terminals and quadruple her coal exports with the intent of selling to China.

Also, to work with Canada to soften her industrial policies and strengthen the export of her natural resources like tar sands oil to be exported to China. This would continue to strengthen the value of the Canadian dollar and make it easier to export American manufactured good into Canada as Canada export her natural resources.

Also, expand Chinese investments into America to create jobs that merege with US technology companies.

Also, provide federal funding to promote tourism of the US to China. Educating the Chinese all the places where they could visit, like Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, etc. and take in the natural beauty. And to even offer tax incentives to businesses that specifically cater to Chinese tourists.

I like your optimistic viewpoint. :) I hope to share it at some point.

Of course, at this point, living in Canada, one sticking point for many Canadians is the U.S.’s thirst for water, of which Canada has plenty.

I wish I had more knowledge to impart, but from reading the news & listening to the radio, I know that leftists up here are predicting a “water war” at some point down the line.
