True.China will build 50,000 new ultra modern, futuristic skyscrapers in the next 20 years. China has been building skyscrapers at this rate for several years now. But many on this site say the U.S. has a bigger economy than China (that is bs).

China's economy has grown 10% average for the last 30 years, growing 19 x the size. The U.S. living standards have gone down in those last 30 years. Many U.S. cities are hellholes and many people need to have 2 incomes to make it whereas in the 1970’s only the dad worked and supported a large family.

“China's is the world's fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates averaging 10% over the past 30 years.”
China stole our U.S. technology , industries, our own market ,factories etc. China rose at our expense. This "free trade" has to stop. it is one of the main things destroying America. America first. Stop the flood of illegals,immigrants and of foriegn industry destroy products into the U.S.A. Fortress America.
The problem with free traitors is if you confront them with the national security aspects of our current trade policy, and could make them realize the threat to freedom, they would commit suicide.
RE: China will build 50,000 new ultra modern, futuristic skyscrapers in the next 20 years.
Sure, but how many of them will be occupied? China has built many cities and malls that are empty and waiting to be occupied.

I am not aware of even the most committed of protectionists (I'm not speaking of random people on the internet) who argue that China has a larger economy than ours. They might exist, I suppose . . . if you come across one of them, I'd love to see it.
Agreed on all your points.
Free Trade is an article of faith to some on this site.
I don’t know how anyone can think allowing our country to be destroyed is a conservative principle.
America first in all things. Free trade among the states (the states of this republic). Favored trading relations with our best allies. This list can change with time but pretty much includes the major English-speaking countries, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (when they behave themselves). You could probably include Japan and a few other countries in the favored trading block. These allies have proven themselves over time. They deserve greater access to our markets. Bilateral trading relations (quid pro quo) with most other countries in the world. Moderate tariffs and bilateral agreements should be applied with this group. Finally, very limited trading and heavy tariffs with any other country not making the first two lists. My beliefs are the traditional view of trade which made this country strong. Sorry, it’s not a conservative principle to give favored trading status to countries who are hostile to our national security.
Gets my vote Rurgan. About all it will get you around here is a headache though.
