“The difference is, the Chinese government doesn’t care if they sacrifice their companies, their goal is to undermine their enemies.”
Oh Please! We’re such saints!
That’s our goal too, to undermine our enemy.
There are thousands of Chinese families buying up houses in California (and probably elsewhere). That must be to undermine us as well.
We complain when we send money over there to buy their goods, and then when they come back over here with those dollars to buy OUR goods we also complain?!
It’s pure ignorance of both economics and human nature, which when you boil it down, it’s the same thing.
Perhaps in a narrow sense of Capitalist economies, I could agree with you. But Red China, however free their economy has become, is still a Totalitarian dictatorship in which the Individual’s Rights are Granted or Withheld by the Government. They have zero concept of government being the Servsnt of the People!
Except they’re not buying “goods”, they’re buying assets.
