Tariff wars against China are easy to win they said. We will not be exposed they said. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/21/trade-hawk-navarro-says-china-is-trying-to-steal-our-future--.html White House advisor Peter Navarro says ‘China is trying to steal our future’ — Comments knock stocks PUBLISHED FRI, DEC 21 2018 • 4:10 PM EST | UPDATED FRI, DEC 21 2018 • 4:37 PM EST KEY POINTS White House trade advisor Peter Navarro tells Japanese newspaper Nikkei that an agreement in 90 days will be “difficult” and Beijing needs to be “prepared for a full overhaul of its trade and industrial practices. ” “China is basically trying to steal the future of Japan, the U.S. and Europe, by going after our technology,” Navarro, a well-known China hawk, says. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping struck a 90-day trade truce at the G20 meeting in Argentina but have yet to reach a permanent deal.
China has been doing this for decades. India is doing the same with IT outsourcing. It's western corporate greed selling off (manufacturing/labor/IP) to the lowest bidder, lining their pockets with increased profits. They won't admit it but Corporations prefer status quo. Deep pockets funding Trump hate. MHO
It's already too late. If Trump were to come in earlier and not limited to an 8-year-term, I believe things would be better for the US. The Chinese are utilizing their time to develop their nation while the westerners are wasting their time on Immigration, Islamisation, political correctness, liberalism, feminism, virtue signalling, etc. The Chinese don't have these problems. And I don't see how westerners could solve their 'internal' issues anytime soon.
