A little misleading. Using the term deficit, he makes it sound like China has $5 trillion in IOUs from the US. All Chinese imports are bought and paid for.
Furthermore, what does he think the Chinese do with US dollars? They ain’t stuffing them in their mattresses.
Thanks, Bill Gates and other enablers.
How are you free if someone can tell you from whom you may purchase something?

That’s a fair question. It’s a slippery slope, but sometimes national security interests trump all. For example, the United States was neutral in 1940. But we still restricted trade with the Axis. For example, no American helium for Nazi dirigibles!
Is today like 1940? I don’t know. Maybe.
Well, that is a darn good point.
The trade imbalance with Red China is a double whammy. Cheap labor and ignoring pollution from factories in China have made Chinese made goods seem cheaper for us to buy which closed US factories that made similar goods. Those US dollars help finance the CCP dictatorship’s plans to become world masters. China has recycled some of our dollars into US Treasury bonds to the extent they would ruin us if they dumped/sold them all at once.
Just stick the Chicomms with it. Do not allow ANY trade with China. Sanction the officials. Seize and sell Communist Chinese assets in this country. Cancel our debt to them.
It’s hard to take a stand against ChCom crap when everyone else is buying it left and right.
This is out there

Good. The US should just drop the mic and walk away from it.

Nope, only a globalist, china pimp would say that the term deficit is misleading.
It is either a deficit or a surplus or balanced trade.
There are no other choices.
What would you call it, comrade?
Do you work for a company that profits by china's trade surplus or are you just a chi-com troll?

This virus has given us a unique opportunity to do just that. As the liberals might say, never let a crisis go to waste.
There is no need to provoke Red China into doing something foolish. But seizing their assets to pay for the damage their virus caused...yes, that should be done. But diplomatically, not arrogantly.
“We are so sorry to have to do this, but our lawyers tell us we must put your assets - including your Treasury bills - on hold for now. And we must place tariffs on all your goods. It’s a shame. But you know how lawyers are.”
Curious if you typed out your reply on your American made computer...
Most politicians should be.....I can’t say it because it is against the rules. What they have done is criminal and evil to our country and the people.
China owns about $1.1 trillion in U.S. debt, or a bit more than the amount Japan owns. It won’t be enough just to default on China’s bonds. They’ve caused 10 times the damages.
“Thanks, Bill Gates and other enablers.”
Would that include people who have purchased cellphones and computers? Just asking.
