Trump is again misdirecting his rants and you know this is not going to change anything. He said China is taking advantages of the USA for thirty years. This might be true but it is western companies that take advantage of the lower wages and softer regulations. They are to take the blame and the western governments who do nothing as our factories disappear.
Trump is right about China. We should be leery of their global ambitions and market manipulation. It is about time that we slapped them down a peg or two.
The OP is also right that China has grown at US expense in large part due to corporate greed to cut costs and Republican tax policy that encouraged sending jobs overseas by giving tax incentives to send manufacturing jobs off shore.
The irony is that the same people lauding Trump now we’re the same people who called those of us that opposed tax incentives to send US jobs overseas anti-capitalist or anti-free market.
I am glad some of you are finally coming around.
