How about we stop having an every growing relationship with tyrants and work with our neighbors and ourselves instead. I only see increased local trade as a plus, money stays closer, less transit of materials causing pollution, Winnie loses a little power, all pros
You are correct, however the purpose of the message is moreso to keep China from undercutting us on their goods and materials exported. Their government tends to help drive down the price of good sold in order to inflict harm on other country’s businesses in the same sector. It is hard to sustain a company if all your customers can get your product for artificially cheaper in China. The best way to address this is to remind China that we are customers of their businesses as well and that they would stand to lose more by not playing fairly. If we just told them to go fuck themselves and set excessive embargo taxes on their imports, which Trump did, it had a negative impact on every industry within each respective supply chain. It takes time to build new resource pipelines. Ideally, we need to have multiple sources.
The US and west has done the same crap to the rest of the world including China for like, since the beginning. We live the the country of imperial exploitation. Corporate America abandoned working America. Let them burn. The worthless parasitic billionaires must go. They put all our money in China. We are never getting it back. I can’t see one reason why this is a bad thing. Everything we make is proprietary exploitive shit that amounts to theft of ownership through DRM.
Unlike China who can definitely get real buddy buddy with everyone around them.
Eh, I don’t know. I think they fucked up lots of relations with their neighbors as well due to the same imperialistic politics. They have shitty relations with Japan, SK, Taiwan, all the nation in the South China Sea, Vietnam and India. Relations with Russia, and USSR before that, have always been a bit tense (Mongolia issue, plus claims over Vladivostok). The rest are minor nations, mostly under the sphere of influence of other empires.
From what I can see, they are trying to create a sphere of influence of their own in Asia, propping up the new dictatorship in Myanmar, helping the Pakistani and trying to snatch up the central Asian “-stan” nations from Russia’s influence. Success is mixed.
Anyway, economically speaking these are not real partners like the western block, but more like client states. The real economic partners of China remain the western nations. Without them China’s trade would be non-existent.
What do you not get about manufacturing waste, yrs affect humans, but humans of color get the brunt of it? Yeah everyone gets a dose of pollution, but poc get it first and worst. Or is that too difficult a concept for you to grasp?
I said this in another thread- I am fine with this in terms of schooling since it only means another 35 minutes a day according to the article I read. However, the solution for poor kids seems to be “keep them in school because parents can’t afford child care,” which creates a really unfair two-tiered educational system. Now the extra schooling could actually be of benefit to the poor kids, but I still think it’s bad to force them to do what other kids don’t have to just because their parents are poor.
Oh no! Wait, China will still be checks notes the U.S.'s number three trading partner and the U.S. will still be checks notes China’s number one trading partner. Because Vietnam is still only in 10th place for the U.S.
