    Canadians are too busy not doing anything serious to have any reason to hate anyone

    Has someone told President for Life Ping Pong that he is “On Team Joe”? Cause last I saw, Pooh Bear wasn’t too happy about being associated with Biden’s former boss “Tigger”

    Yes this forum is an example of the polarization, but we still deserve better.

    Polarization is not the issue; its the unwillingness to respectfully discuss different views. As long as Rs and Ds view and treat each other like enemies, Trump is what we deserve.

    Well the polarization exists, and there are some that won't compromise, but we do not deserve Trump, period. We allow too many extremists view points to take center stage.

    I will just have to respectfully disagree. I appreciate the polite discussion.

    The Americans turned their backs against Germany before that....
    They know since the US got busted with tapping Germany and France.
    Not to forget that total joke of a conspiracy theory to attack Iraq over nothing.
    Germany suffered greatly due to that unprovoked massacre on Iraq.
    It set in motion millions of refugees, ISIS and terrorism in the EU.

    China's Economic Rise: History, Trends, Challenges, and Implications for the United States

    https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/RL33534.html
    Summary
    Prior to the initiation of economic reforms and trade liberalization nearly 40 years ago, China maintained policies that kept the economy very poor, stagnant, centrally controlled, vastly inefficient, and relatively isolated from the global economy. Since opening up to foreign trade and investment and implementing free-market reforms in 1979, China has been among the world's fastest-growing economies, with real annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaging 9.5% through 2018, a pace described by the World Bank as "the fastest sustained expansion by a major economy in history."

    In re polarization the problem really isn't Trump, it's Trumpers.

    Same as here. People with money.

    In the fiscal year of 2019, China was the largest sales market for BMW. China accounted for around 28.6 percent of Rolls-Royce, BMW, and MINI sales. Chinese customers bought about 724,700 such vehicles in the 2018 fiscal year. This is more than twice as many vehicles as were snapped up by motorists in Germany.Mar 26, 2020

    Put your faith in China. It's best for the world to trust China and that China become the great, dominant superpower and control the world.:)

    Europe wants to belly up to the China bar, so let them. Don't put any impediments in their way.

    Your batting 1000 today. Keep it up. :)

    In October, BMW said it would spend $4.2 billion to take control of its main joint venture in China. The move was expected to spur BMW to shift more production to China, helping to protect profits amid the U.S.-China trade battle that has raised the cost for BMW in China to import cars made at its South Carolina plant.Nov 7, 2018

    I know you’re trying to bot your hardest for China, but 37.4 per 100 ownership is low by international standards.
