We need each other. I have made a point of buying goods imported from China for decades I do not see how I have been harmed by that. The key board I am using to type this, the screen I am reading this on, and my mouse were all made in China. They are less costly than comparable products made in the United States would be. They work fine.
Tariffs are the recourse of countries that cannot compete in the international market place. I look forward to the day when China achieves world hegemony, and the United States is dominated by a high IQ cognitive elite composed largely of Jews and Orientals.
Orientals have average IQs of 106. Whites have averages of 100. Have you sat in a class room or worked with Orientals? They performed well, didn't they? The success of democracy in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea tells me democracy will work well in China and North Korea. The twentieth century was America's century. The twenty first century will be China's century.
