The reality is that trade with China is not in America’s interests because it funds our greatest rival. Here’s how America funded China’s rise, and why tariffs will help keep America safe and free...
First, America invested directly in China by building factories—offshoring 60,000 factories does not come cheap. The total value of American investment in China is unknown. According to China’s Ministry of Commerce, cumulative foreign direct investment (“FDI”) totalled $2.7 trillion in 2023. Just 2.1% of this investment was categorized as American.
The reason that this amount is so low is because American investment is usually routed through intermediaries, mostly Hong Kong, Singapore, and the British Virgin Islands. This is why Hong Kong—a city smaller than Shanghai—owns 68% of FDI in China.
Not coincidentally, Hong Kong is a major recipient of FDI from the U.S. and from the British Virgin Islands—a tiny banking archipelago that is itself capitalized by the U.S. and the City of London. Because of this shell game, we cannot know the actual amount American companies have invested in China, but if we assume that FDI correlates with the relative size of China’s trade surpluses, then America’s investments total $972 billion."

It doesn't help that the trade deficit money is poured back into the stock market & real estate, making them even richer.
Communists were right when they said we would sell them the rope they would hang us with.
I blame Walmart, Target and the big box stores they purchase everything from china. This really took off when the damned clintons took office. The country has been marching to destruction since that time.
Bill Clinton paved the road...
GHWB was the best friend the ChiComs ever had.
NY Post ace journo Miranda Devine reports on the 2013 Beijing visit by Hunter and the obsequious Joe Biden with President Xi. VP son Hunter was given ten percent-—a billion dollar stake—— in the Chinese state’s investment partnership BHR.”
Excerpted from Devine’s must-read book on the Biden Crime Family of grifters, “Laptop From Hell”....an expose of whoring Hunter’s drug-fueled dissolute lifestyle.
Note well: photo was taken in 2013. It took court action to get the National Archives to release it. The Bidens did not want this pic to be made public------
Predates the period granted by Hunter’s pardon. Means you can go after Hunter hammer and tongs for offenses committed before 2014.
The former presidents said granting China permanent trade benefits would build upon market-opening initiatives pursued by every American president since World War II.”It will open China’s markets to us without increasing China’s access to our market,” the presidents said.
Greenspan, who soon begins his fourth term as Fed chairman, said China’s membership in the WTO would promote economic development in China and help lift the country’s poor out of poverty.
A spokesman for House Democratic Whip David Bonior of Michigan, a leading opponent of extending permanent most favored nation status to China, said opinion polls show three-quarters of Americans oppose the deal. - "https://www.timesherald.com/2000/05/09/three-former-presidents-support-permanent-trade-status-for-china/amp/
We created a monster. It was there for everyone to see. Now we have to unscramble the egg.
Even Reagan fell for China’s charm offensive in the 1980s.
both the Russian and Chinese Communist parties
never would have come to power in those 2 countries
with out
the Marxists in the United States help.
They were here then
and their commie spawn are still in our government.
They are on the cusp of handing our country and the world to the CCP.
This is the history our public schools made sure we never heard.
Push this out to everyone.

Doolittle will never forget and neither will i forget .
American Jews gave chairman Mao his playbook and 50-60 year plan. Kissinger helped make them rich while making us poorer. Boyknee Schwartz gave them the tech to target our cities. Bill and Hillary gave them the keys to EVERYTHING. Small businesses to corporations to mega stores like wal shart made them richer by encouraging and moving businesses out of this country. I’d round up every one of those people still living and lock them up—free traitors the lot of ‘em
Terrifying.
I was bitching about "outsourcing" when GHWB was President. Silicon Valley was already shutting down electroplating operations because of regulations and moving assembly work to Thailand and China.
While preening about "protecting the environ-mint."
They offshored because of greed.
Yup. I was writing articles about that here on FR in the early 2000s.
ALL OF THOSE COMPANIES WERE MAKE A GREAT PROFIT BEFORE OFFSHORING JUST GO GET THAT EXTRA FEW PERCENT FOR INTERNATIONAL STOCK HOLDERS.
It was worse than that. They were gaming the system to make fattened profits on both ends of the supply chain. Note the date of the post.
Anthony Sutton’s investigative research revealed the US Government , Big Banks, and Big Tech funded the Soviet Revolution, the NAZI Movement, and both side during WWI, WW2, and the Cold War. The US only entered WWI and WW2 late to make sure everyone paid their bills…
It wasn’t just the US...it was a of the world’s advanced industrialized nations. All of them decided that they’d rather pay 50 cents for fingernail clippers made in China than pay 55 cents for one made in Korea...Japan...Europe...the US,etc.
From GHWBush to Clinton to GWBush to Obama, the “establishment” either bought, or simply deceieved the American people that they bought, the self-created-myth that economic engagement with the CCP was going to lead to political liberalization in China. It was always a myth, they sold to themselves and the American people. It is and was never going to happen.
