US Companies Bear a HUGE Amount of Responsibility for China Robbing Them and Conservatives Want the

US Government via Trump's tariffs to even the playing field

As China Hacked, U.S. Businesses Turned A Blind Eye

Technology theft and other unfair business practices originating from China are costing the American economy more than $57 billion a year, White House officials believe, and they expect that figure to grow.

Yet an investigation by NPR and the PBS television show Frontline into why three successive administrations failed to stop cyberhacking from China found an unlikely obstacle for the government — the victims themselves.

In dozens of interviews with U.S. government and business representatives, officials involved in commerce with China said hacking and theft were an open secret for almost two decades, allowed to quietly continue because U.S. companies had too much money at stake to make waves.

Wendy Cutler, who was a veteran negotiator at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, says it wasn't just that U.S. businesses were hesitant to come forward in specific cases. She says businesses didn't want the trade office to take "any strong action."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, it seems American businesses are as much to blame for their losses to China, as China is.

Now that Trump is POTUS conservatives are cheering on Trump's efforts to impose tariffs on China to level the playing field in the world of trade.

The irony of that FACT is pretty incredible as conservatives typically always complain when government gets involved in anything.

Now conservatives want Trump & the government to 'fix' the trade issues between the US & China.

You can't make this crap up. What a crazy nation we reside in.

So, your link refers to the criminal cheating of the Chinese in our "trade" with them, and at least partially supports the administrations claims.



Yet you are attacking them for taking action to protect American interests.


What would you consider to the be the correct action in this situation?

Trump has placed NO BLAME on US companies for this.
Trump has only ginned up his base with the typical obfuscations while completely blaming the Chinese.
Maybe US companies could be proactive to protect their own interests instead of being a bunch of pussies?
I still fail to understand why conservatives support such MASSIVE government intervention on this issue; conservatives ALWAYS shit their panties when government gets involved in anything.

US companies are staffed by college grads who all went to nice liberal universities and learned that it is "racist" to be nationalist and want to care about their fellow Americans.


So, it is not very consistent for a lib to complain about them doing that.


But you are partially right, in that yes, US companies bear much of the blame.


It is not serious to expect COMPANIES to set US trade policy though. That is the job of the government.



Trump could be doing more here, but he is doing far more than anyone else has done in decades and more than anyone else would have done.



For you to attack him for this, is AT BEST, you putting partisan politics ahead of the interests of your fellow Americans.

well, bribing the building inspector is an interesting concept.
So, bribery is your gig & that is the way US business should operate?
I take it you are a conservative too.
Is bribery a conservative value?
