“The Chinese will increase their standard of living, and open markets to us.”

On what do you base this dreamy scenario.
America has sold out our manufacturing base. China took it.
Period. We got nothing in return.
We are shrinking, and giving away American manufacturing. We get nothing in return.
We cannot buy things in China, except as minority investors.
We cannot buy land in China.
I see NO sign anywhere, that China has any intention of giving anything back to America.
It is take, take, take from China.
We need to COMPETE.
Bring back American manufacturing now.

On the many “lessons” I was given here on FR. Some of them quite heated, and I was often invited to go “back to the DU” when I doubted that the open markets and economic boom would appear.
I told them we’d end up with a communist as president if we kept enabling the sell off of our manufacturing base. I thought that communist would be Hillary. I only missed by a little.
I have a question for the free traders.... how’s it working for you?
So is your solution to have the government order companies to cease buying goods manufactured overseas? Would have the government order companies build factories here?
