Profit Motive Too Irresistible: US Companies Are 'Hostages' to China. Heads of U.S. corporations don’t dare to criticize the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) even in private settings

CRT indoctrination in corporate “struggle sessions” is directly imported from CCP and BlackRock/Vanguard dictates ( as they kiss up to China to determine who will co-rule in the Great Reset). Those two along with State Street own large shares in almost all publicly traded companies and will actually maneuver to remove people off the boards of companies if they resist against CRT . These companies better wake the —— up and get OUT of that evil country and get BlackRock out of controlling shares before it's too late. It probably already is.

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.

Perfect.

I agree with tariffs because China does not have to abide by our strict environmental or OSHA laws. So those in the US who want those restrictions are not paying the extra cost, it is paid for by those who lose their jobs to a Chinese worker who may work in nasty conditions for 12 hour shifts.

Make Americans directly pay by a “environmental/ worker safety” tax on every item that is imported from China, to balance out what the corporations are NOT paying by being located there. Make it clear and transparent so people really weigh the differences.

The gloBULLists love the current system of taxing citizens income tax while allowing 3rd worlders to dump product here duty free. That kind of greed is just wrong, even demented to some degree. As I see it, true conservatives should love the tariff and hate the income tax. Tariffs are a consumption tax and some would even call regressive. Again all true conservatives should love tariffs.

A couple of really interesting exposes on this subject

BlackRock https://youtu.be/CjQ5TdUVvN0

China: Built by Us https://youtu.be/8CMdbgKTSjA

Made in China. https://youtu.be/s4-cgO4ENTc

All from Sovereign Nations youtube channel. Very thought provoking

This one is a more visual/ fast /graphical
Monopoly: Who owns the World? https://youtu.be/UNg3Vnfu4Pk. Might be good for a millennial who is open and starting to wonder about things.

I believe there is a lot of working together, promoting the same goals between BR, Vanguard, CCP, Soros, Gates etc. But at the same time a lot of jockeying for position, who will be king of the hill? ( or of the pile of rubble when they get finished? ) It’s like expecting a bunch of drug cartels to rule together over a territory. The will eventually start fighting each other.

That’s why they get the name globullists ( like that). They have absolutely no love or patriotism for our country. They don’t care if it all comes crashing down, as long as they have a market somewhere in the world to continue making money and selling their junk.

If we have a backbone, our economic engagement is supposed to give us some clout. Like the argument of doing business with apartheid-era South Africa; the more involved we were, the more pull we had to reform apartheid. Sadly, only Trump seemed to have the stomach for standing up to the ChiComs.

I’m less worried about the American businesses who think their bread is buttered by China than all the US politicians on BOTH SIDES of the aisle who are owned lock, stock, and barrel by China. I haven’t identified one yet who is not.

And if we can overcome the Fraud Machine, the very first thing Trump must do, is to make voter fraud impossible.

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?

That's your solution?! More robots?!

There are tens of millions of U.S. Americans who would then be unable to compete with those robots for jobs. What would you recommend that we do with them?

Regards,

The opening to China was justified by the opinion that over the time China will become like the US.
Instead US is becoming like China!

Amen. I used to argue against businesses leaving the USA on this site back in 2000! Took alot of heat for it. I refuse to feel anything for those companies. They ruined so many lives by forcing the middle class into the poor class. I hope China reams them a new one. They earned it.
