Biden threatens China...

[Rogue AI]

If we pulled our businesses, money, and support, China still has the factories. Where exactly are American businesses going to go? It would take years to rebuild what they would be leaving behind. Nor does China care or respect intellectual property rights. They would open the factories and sell the same goods under their new names.

Incentives and tariffs.

Why are we financing China's economic growth?

If we're willing to sacrifice by paying more to defend Ukraine...shouldn't we be willing to sacrifice by paying more to punish a country that is aiding Russia...while at the same time commiting genocide against the Uyghurs?

Seems like the least we could do...

Look how well the "paying more to defend Ukraine" is working out. It is being used to bludgeon the current president.

And the cost of returning all the manufacturing back ot the US would make the cost to defend Ukraine look like a dollar store find

Things are getting "sticky" folks. Until now, (from the beginning of Biden's presidency) all our problems have been largely self inflicted. Open border..self inflicted. Hampering U.S. energy supplies..self inflicted. Spending like a drunken sailor..self inflicted etc.. But now things have changed.... Picture Biden in a boxing ring. He has been punching himself in the face for a year. Now we have Putin in the ring, next China might jump over the ropes to help out. Then of course Iran is standing by. The days of watching Biden punch himself in the face are over. He is no longer the ONLY "man in the arena". Frightening.

Is being President about doing what's popular...or doing what needs to be done?

Jake Sullivan says ‘there will absolutely be consequences’ if China aids Russia's invasion of Ukraine

President Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan wouldn't say Sunday whether he considered China President Xi Jinping a "co-conspirator" in Russian President Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine, but he did say "there will absolutely be consequences" if China supports the war economically.

Newsflash: China is not our ally.

It's way past the time to pull our money, our businesses, and our manufacturing out of China.

Trump was right...we need to divest from China and bring our manufacturing home to America.

Then why didn't Trump have his brand names products manufactured in the USA?

How offshoring rolled along under Trump, who vowed to stop it

Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency four years ago, in part, by a promise to Midwest factory workers that he would stop companies like Schneider Electric SE (SCHN.PA) from moving jobs out of the country.

Manufacturing was in a recession and had sunk to 2009 levels BEFORE the pandemic hit.

I am sick to death of your clowns posting about how "tough" Trump was on trade, and especially how tough he was on China. The numbers don't lie. The trade deficit climbed steadily under Donald Trump, and only dropped back down to the same levels it was under Obama during the pandemic.

Trump TOLD you what he wanted you to believe, and without fail, you parroted the lies, and you continue to parrot them. Mr. "Art of the Deal" was the worst negotiator I have EVER seen. Watching him work as President really explained why all of his companies lost money.

With Ukraine and Russia off line, if the Democrats go after China, there will hardly be any countries left for them to do their money laundering and influence peddling.

You've been punching yourself in the face for too long, uscker.

There is no "open border" no matter how many time you claim there is.

There is no shortage of energy in the USA. Production is on track to set records this year. There are global pricing problems, but that's not an American problem, that's a global problem. The supply shortage is coming from OPEC.

There has been no spending like a drunken sailor since Donald Trump left office. There is investment in infrastructure, education, and healthcare. There have been tax cuts for working Americans which Trump promised and never delivered.

Republicans seem to have no problem giving money to the wealthy, but they hate like hell to see poor people get money.

Still not a single Democrat outraged at China for backing Russia in it's war against Ukraine.

The sound of crickets prevail....

In response to the call of the United States and European countries for China to stop supporting Russia, China suggested that European countries should less lackeying to the United States and boldly pursue foreign policy in the interests of their own citizens, not American politicians.
