I don’t know.

When I go in any store, a majority of the things to buy, were made in the Peoples Republic of China.

China is (rapidly) becoming stronger. Their population is four or five times our own.

China is becoming wealthy quickly. Quite quickly. For an entire generation we have been basically staying steady, while China has been rapidly growing.

Now America and China are roughly equivalent.

The problem is, our trade is wildly unbalanced, so our countries will not remain equivalent.

China will take the lead.

China is closed. China very completely, maintains control in China. Including in businesses.

I am just saying that our own companies, are selling out our own interests.

American companies are selling out, America! This is infuriating. Our own companies, are building much of the stuff they sell right here at home ... in the Peoples Republic of China.

Bring back jobs, and production, to America.

Bow are you going to bring jobs and production back here. Hong Kong is a vastly better and freer place to do business.

The only reason that countries and governments are formed is to provide mutual protection. Protection from outside forces and to enforce contracts. The bottom line is that if a farmer plants crops in the spring he can have a reasonable expectation of taking those crops to a stable market. Without the crops being stolen or destroyed by his neighbors or outside invaders. That’s it at the most basic level.

Here, now, the farmers product is looted by his neighbors. So why put in the crops?
