    Mao was a dick. Socialism sucks.
    But that doesn't change the fact that there is some wealth being made in China.

    Not by the average Chinese citizen, not enough wealth for a viable auto industry at least.

    Have you ever considered boycotting products made in China, you know, to punish the greedy people?

    There are 198 million cars in China. They sell about 12 - 18 million a year. US citizens buy about 17 - 20 million cars a year.

    You were saying?

    You make a lot of noise that sounds like words but little that makes sense.

    Please go into detail about how Trump has been played like a fiddle. You make it sound so obvious it should be easy for one of your obviously powerful intellect.

    Of course the U.S. pays for everything for the purpose of control. No one doubts or disputes this despite your belief to the contrary. The issue is that America is roundly vilified by parties foreign and domestic when we exercise that well paid for control. The obvious solution, to appease the progressively stupid in this country and those nations who resent that control, is to allow all countries an equal voice and an equal share of the bill, on terms of money and assets, both material and human.

    Sounds like you got it all figured out. Please expound on all the damage done and how you would go about fixing it.

    China murders over 350,000 people world wide with their own virus in just a few short months and the EU joins China? I can see it. After all, the EU is no stranger to genocide so they have something in common...

    To say nothing of what they do or allow to be done to their own people on a daily basis.

    the American business man has made it impossible to boycott china unless a person wants to live off the grid

    and no thanks I am not a live off the grid kinda guy

    even those that do live off grid, most likely the solar panels used will be Chinese made

    every cell phone, computer and computer part have connections to china

    practically every American made car has parts produced in china

    and most US drug companies have the lions share of their drugs produced in china

    and most people that own and wear sneakers are supporting china

    many of trumps hotel and golf clubhouses are built with cheap Chinese steel

    trump says USA first but his actions say different

    and soon because of trump the democrats will control the house senate and whitehouse

    It would not benefit us pulling out of strategic locations. I just watched an interesting infomentry on that. It's called the "Loss of Strength Gradient".

    ~ The EU / U.N. and WHO all are global government proponents that favor the Chinese Communist Party. Let them all stew in their own pot without U.S. involvement.

    The 90,000 people who have died so far?
    The irony is that trump could have coasted to re-election if he had stepped up and acted as a leader during the pandemic.
    He had a stage to himself and people were hungry for leadership, as governor Cuomo’s soaring popularity shows, but he squandered his chance and wallowed in petulant whining and blaming others while a disgusted country watched.

    No link to the actual poll just an opinion piece on a poll said to exist. No link equals fake news and OP fail.

    We've been through it. Trump would like our trade with partners small and large be a fair trade. What's wrong with that?

    Ah yes... Europeans do not like it!

    And if Europeans decide they want to spend their $500 billion a year in China, Vietnam and Canada instead of the US, that's their choice. Part of selling American goods is about good will.
