Also, dont believe the economic numbers released by china, or anything else the CCP tells usWe are actually arguing on the same side of the fence here. But please do not underestimate China or think it has been in any way weakened by Biden.
In 1988 China's GDP was $312 billion. It is now $17.7 trillion. With the countries opening back up under COVID China GDP increased 8% to our 5% in 2021. China GDP increased 3% to our 2% in 2022. This year China's first quarter GDP jumped 4.3% to our 1.1%. China's military is twice the size of ours in personnel and they also have nuclear weapons.
And China is again manipulating our currency and engaging in more unfair trade practices than they dared to do with Trump in the White House because they knew he would seriously retaliate if they did.
Biden's policies have been pretty good for China so far, not so good for U.S. commerce, and, as I posted, he intends to make them a lot better for China. Admittedly Trump policies did not seriously negatively impact China's economy but they did make things a lot better for American commerce. And if Trump had been able to continue those policies, I think we would be a lot less dependent on China for our pharmaceuticals and some manufactured products now.
China is not growing as claimed
That doesn't mean they never will grow again
But the CCP seems unwilling to learn from its mistakes and I hope that continues
