By the way I think china see some leaks developing in their overheated economy. It seems their are getting defensive like a wounded animal.
We better have some weapons (not military) ready to fight them off.
If you didn't have the respective positions of the two countries reversed, you'd be right on the money.
Weapons to fight them off, not being of a military nature, what could those possibly be? Nationalise Walmart?
If it comes to military confrontation; that ones gonna hurt big time as they have standing army in the millions.
Janes Fighting Ships has been telling your admirals for years now that they have been building warships and shrink wrapping them for the future. you have a moth-balled fleet as well but it's OLD stuff.
A military confrontation with China? Believe me when I simply say you do not want to go there!
NAFTA opened the doors for the US corporations to take their manufacturing elsewhere. It was the first of many unequal trade agreements made by the USA in the name of crony capitalism. As you have so aptly pointed out there is a domino effect.
Yes, we are in a global economy and yes I understand companies like Catapillar and others manufacturing closer to where their demand base is located. However, the USA is no longer manufacturing those things demanded in the USA, not even the processing of our raw materials like lumber and steel or the electronics which guide our military technology. Instead we service the poor, the elderly, and provide medical services. These practices alone do not bring income to our country. We need to bring back a significant proportion of our manufacturing, IMO, YMMV.
Because economic globalization is out of the bottle and won't go back in, I think we need some sort of global rules regarding taxation etc. Companies exploit the benefits and weak spots of every country around the globe and society pays the price for that cherry-picking. One can't regulate a global economy with national laws.
I don't buy almost anything made in China, so they can start their trade war. This should have been dealt with a decade ago. Let's say around the time that our spy plane crashed in their country and they kept the plane and imprisoned the pilots. Of course, the leadership at the time did nothing, but it would have been a good impetus to get rid of their MFN trading status until they started acting like a civilized country.
Who is running the USA? Not exactly problem solvers. Bunch of idiots and communists. There is your problem and why many are so worried. Too bad they don't worry when they vote. All they remember is what lies the media trashes certain candidates with a few weeks before an election.
Really? Who do you know of that is running the place that has a low IQ? Also, when exactly did the country become Communist? Who exactly was advocating for one political party to run the country with no elections. Only someone of really low intelligence would make those statements and not be able to back them up.

I assume the very computer you are using is full of stuff made in Hina
