There's an important point to remember in the current U.S.-China trade conflict: Beijing started it. For the past 20 years, China has been at war with the U.S. economy, using massive subsidies, currency manipulation and intellectual property theft to continually erode America's manufacturing base.
It's a strategy that has worked phenomenally well. Over the past two decades, the United States has lost 5 million manufacturing jobs and nearly 90,000 factories.
After years of this economic aggression, the Trump administration is now saying, "Enough is enough." But when the president recently imposed 25-percent tariffs on roughly half of Chinese imports, Wall Street cried foul.
However, it was an absolutely unquestioning adherence to free trade that opened the door for China in the first place. And globalists have never complained when Beijing continually ignores its World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments to open, reciprocal trade.

Yeah, the media is intent on hiding the CCCP s start of this.
Lpt of Chinese money in our US media.
The manufacturing jobs aren’t coming back to the US, they’re going to other low cost Asian countries.
This is such an obvious economic outcome that no one can be surprised.
The idea that these jobs would go from China back to the US in any significant way was pure vote bait for the disappointed and disadvantaged.
“they’re going to other low cost Asian countries.”
Ones whose goal is not to destry the US economy.
That do make a difference...
Trump has one shot - stop it now, or China wins it all.
Think about Germany in WWII...they weren’t out to just take over a little more land...
I consider that defeatist hate speech. Free Traitors™ are cowards. The goal is to bring them back here. Have you ever listened to Trump?
Thanks.
I found the article on google, and did not realize the actual url, did not include www.
Or I would have trimmed it. Thanks though.
Google is helpful at times, so I’ll sometimes happily include their address if I used it myself.
But thank you. I understand your concerns, and agree 100%.
Have a good one.

Yes, they import a lot of food and oil and raw materials.
These bulk commodities are shipped by sea as are Chinese exports. If the sea lanes are blocked China starves and dies. That's why they are developing islands in the South China Sea, to try and control the shipping lanes. A successful naval blockade would destroy them and they know it.
It’s called “ mercantilism”
It’s not new
But China has raised it to a whole new level
