China is a communist dictatorship and one of the largest human rights violators in the word. And as you say they get our money. We have funded them out of poverty while they have designed a plan to reduce our influence and the influence of western democracy in the world.
They want their currency to replace ours as the world reserve currency and become the communist economy model for the world to follow. Also the dominate world military power. A power they use on their own people to maintain tight control.
Lots of things sound like a good idea on the surface but assisting China to make America subservient isn't in our best interest. Unless, of course, being a communist country is desirable.
Accepting Chinese investment somehow translates to US becoming communist......
I guess Trump loyalists just can't help themselves.

Aah, but I was talking about trade deficits.

You won't move from your position no matter what facts are thrown out. I can see that after reading through the thread.

Yes, and you implied the plummeting Chinese investment somehow resolved the trade deficits, which is an uninformed claim, because it only made matters worse.
Well, no. But they are not buying; they don't have the money. Evidently losing the trade war is disrupting their economy.
They have been buying. Where do you think the $111 billion went? It was invested in US economy, including real estate, but that number is now down 80%.
