Manufacturers moved to China so now they can pay to move themselves back.

How are we competing with china?

by selling them soybeans and pigs?

Actually we sell them 3 times more semi conductors and jet planes than soy/pigs and would do infinitely better if not for libcommie anti-business policies. Don't forget, Chinese govt is pro business while we are half libcommie anti-business. Do you understand?

How long do you expect to sell china airliners built in the US?

as soon as china steals enough secrets to produce their own that market will dry up for us

the same goes for semi-conductors

yes so we should prevent stealing. and????????????????

And adopt smarter trade policy

actually there are many things we can do starting with limiting chinese investment in US companies

and relocating production out of china

Trump is far better than the socialist Democrats but he is a protectionist at heart it seems.

free trade allows us to buy the best products from any city state or country. without free trade you get poorer not richer. do you grasp it now

You are mistaken

Free trade with cheating mercantilist nations like china erodes our economy and makes us poorer

Well, the usual way to "cheat" as you say is to offer cheaper products that enrich Americans. That is really not cheating; it's raising our standard of living. We can buy more. Yes, competition with them is tough mostly because of the cheap labor so our anti business liberal govt should stop screwing American businesses with taxes, regulations, unions, budget deficits, and failing schools.

What will the next generation do when you have eaten all the seed corn?

yes we are betting cheap stuff now, but already china is threatening to withhold necessary drugs that we no longer produce here if dont jump the way they want us to

and it will only get worse as china’s power grows while ours wanes

you are leaving your children a bitter life that they will curse you for

what on earth does that mean?? Do you have any idea?????

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Not our subject. Of course military and health care should not be totally dependent on foreign totalitarian govt that might turn hostile at any time!

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

and it will only get worse as china’s power grows while ours wanes

It will only wane if liberal anti business policies continue. Do you understand!! You must love Trump????

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

you are leaving your children a bitter life that they will curse you for

best life comes from winning at international competition, not protecting and crippling our businesses. Do you understand?

It means that china is a predatory trading policy

they are systematically hollowing out our economy in order to exercise power over other countries

did you not understand what china neant by threatening to cut off drug supplies to the United States?

if that didnt make the hair on the back of your head stand up nothing will

at this moment china is threatening an 80% tariff on Australian barley if the austrailian government prodes too deeply into the wuhan virus

so its not just a US-China trade war

It should not, but it is

china has a knife at our throat and it seems you couldnt care less

You are not pro business

you are just pro cheap chinese junk

You think importing necessary products from china is winning the competition?

I dont

Hopefully, globalization is going to take a serious hit after this crisis is over. I give credit to Trump for saying that we need to move manufacturing back to this country. Even though I'm a liberal, I wholeheartedly agree with his take on this.

If I said that I'll pay you $10,000. Bet?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

capitalists are pro freedom which includes respecting the decisions free people make in the market place. You want a lib-Nazi controlling their freedom?

We have always kept some strategic manufacturing in the USA, and now it is time to keep a little more, but must never forget that we must compete with China and others head on if we want our economy and country to remain world class. Its a little hard when our Democrats are basically communist anti-business types.

I was asking you a question to clarify your position

and apparently you are not going to do so
