Who is that keeps warning us that China is killing us! Trump.

[HarleyLady27]

Yes, he does...

China showing poor taste? Chicago?? Gun violence, crime - keeping it all in the family. Donald, another jump bump for you to hit.

Suppose China didn’t buy anything from us. Would that make you happier? Or would you then warn about our “trade deficit with China”?

I remember when the Japanese economy was soaring and they bought buildings in Manhattan. Referring the outcry over Japanese bids to purchase Rockefeller Center, someone noted that the Japs couldn’t “take it home with them.” And they couldn’t.

Chinese: good businessmen
Chicago traders: top notch.

I would wager that the Chicagoans will come out best with regard to this deal.

Other than our property what does China buy from us?

From another source:

The 134-year old bourse plans to seek approval to list U.S. companies that want to access the capital markets but may not meet the standards of Nasdaq Inc (NDAQ.O) or Intercontinental Exchange Inc's (ICE.N) New York Stock Exchange.

Not exactly your Fortune 500 companies.

I don’t know. Are you worried China
will take US property back to China?

31 states each exported over $1 billion worth of stuff to China. Top value items seem to be aircraft and related.

As if our Stock Market's and currency aren't already manipulated enough? This is NOT a good thing, people. Not at all! If we think our own government is corrupt, what the Chinese have done to their own economy (faked economic growth, entire cities built with NO ONE living in them) and their currency manipulation makes our own corrupt government look like a bunch of pikers by comparison!

On the flip side, I bet some really good Chinese restaurants get opened up again near the Chicago Stock Exchange, right across the street from me!

Auto parts, from the company I work for, if that helps.

[nclaurel]

Really intelligent comment. I won’t even address it.

[nclaurel]

Good article will read.

It’s only a shell.
There is NOTHING happening there.
It’s only value is that it eliminates
the need for going through the regulatory
process.
Now if China would trade all it’s stocks
on it and forbid it’s companies to trade
in the US on any other exchange,
it could be worth something.
OK?

[nclaurel]

Sorry for you.

[sparklite2]

Then I don’t know what you’re complaining about.
We can’t export real estate, and if you want to
know what we export to China, Google is your friend.

Interesting how many China supporters here.
