“We are so screwed.”
What’s the remedy?
American and European businesses flocked to Red China in the 1970’s when Nixon opened relations and trade with China.
US politicians bought the lie that the Chinese communists would become like the west as trade would expose them to the benefits of free enterprise. Plus, American and EU businesses thought they would make tons of money by selling goods to the huge Chinese population.
Well, the CCP had other plans. China let western businesses in so China could learn the advanced technology and manufacturing that was in the west. China bought little from the west other than grains and food as it has problems feeding all those people.
Now that China has learned enough to match the west it strong enough to be a threat to the west. Plus, it has got enough dirt, evidence of bribes on western leaders and top business people it can tell them to dance to China’s tune.
Stop doing business with them.
That won't happen though because U.S. companies are addicted to the cheap labor and easy profits.
During Hong Kong protests in 2019, for example, Apple pulled from its app store a map application widely used by pro-democracy protestors that showed the location of police patrols and tear gas deployments, citing security reasons.
And, the China virus put an end to those pesky protests, just like that.
Remedy? Re-elect President Trump. MAGAA!
It looks like slavery(cheep labor) has always been a part of the human equation. More robots please. Could the USA manufacture a whole bunch of stuff using robots and do it at a lower price than what the Chinese are doing with slave labor?
Welcoming China into the “normal” world was a grave mistake...just like many said at the time.
It should slowly be removed from the free world’s institutions and should be rejected as a pariah state. Also the Olympics should never have been given to them at all.
I would say half of FR regular posters are what I would call Free Traitors.
I can tell you this: the GOP leadership is in bed with the ChiComs...
Remedy? Tariffs. Lots of tariffs. Tariffs are globalist kryptonite.
The US consumer is demanding the absolute lowest price. After shipping costs are factored in the actual savings to the retail buyer of imported goods is almost negligible.
Die, corporate scum.
Fixed it.
We need to manufacture chips here in USA and then mine for rare earth minerals. Once we’ve done that, use tariffs on China. They can continue to be @$$holes if they want but we wont be dependent on them.
Remember how the Democrats used to push slogans like “Look for the union label” referring to American union workers? Now it’s all manufactured by Chinese slave labor. Makes me laugh every time Brandon brags about how his commie plan will create ‘good paying union jobs.’
Companies don't go to China to lower prices for retail buyers, they do it to to increase their profits. The notion that consumer savings is the reason is one that is pitched in order to justify the damage done to the U.S. economy and American workers. Unfortunately all too many republicans buy it hook, line and sinker. In a similar manner far too many Chamber of Commerce type republicans look the other way at the flood of illegal aliens because they want the cheap labor, not caring that those illegals cost us many times more than that from welfare, health care, increased taxes, crime, and loss of our culture.
