    My great friend, you may be working for a mafia boss or a tyrant, but I am working for none other than myself, or more accurately, for my heart. :angel:

    Your illogical signature reveals that you are a sheepish cult follower of a guy who is getting "more and more bizarre with his rambling and nonsensical speaking". It won't be surprising that you find his rambling and nonsensical way of speaking or tweeting can relax both your eye-rolling and jaw-yawning muscles. :shocked:

    My friend, you have brought up an interesting point that is worthy of more discussion. Hence, rather than leaving judgment to history, it is worthwhile for us to take a deeper look into it.

    First of all, it is stupid and risky for any country to rely totally on a single country for trade, just like a helpless housewife relying totally on her abusive husband for survival.

    All countries, including China, have to rely not on a single country but the whole world for trade.

    P.S. Regarding the reality of who relying on who, let us see what will happen if China decides to ban the export of toilet paper to the US one fine day. :angel:

    It's also stupid for a big country like China to rely on the outside world for trade (if they can help it).

    The real issue is that, at least 20 years ago, China was a poor country and needed access to US markets. 20 years ago China's economy was almost wholly reliant on selling things to US markets.

    Today it's the same situation, though to a much less extent than it was 20 years ago.

    If the US ever went to war with China, the US economy would have a difficult adjustment. It would take a long time to get those non-existent factories on line.

    During WW2, factories were converted towards military production. Today the US doesn't even have that. Those factories are vacant and decaying in the Rust Belt.

    Will be a powerful tool with a lot of leverage.
    A large segment of the influential and wealthy Chinese want to come to the US or send their children there for education.

    Well said. In addition, I have to point out that it will be the end of the world, and if it happens now, it will be the last time for our discussion here.

    You can ask Trump about his "masterpiece" -- the defunct Trump University -- which has become the butt of jokes.

    China has a history of stealing intellectual property.

    This seems a valid nat sec measure.

    My great friend, don't be duped by the propaganda of Trump and Crackpot Company. :)

    Using Trump's favourite catchphrase, it's fake news!

    That's not propaganda that's documented fact mate.

    They hacked the OPM for the feds too.

    If the orgs are affiliated with the PLA, who hacked OPM, its a legit nat sec issue.



    Additionally I'd like to try something out.

    I am seething at the moment. Sinophobia? What a cheap trick (as usual) to deflect from the truth that China is stealing our technology--jumping on the victimology/everyone is a racist band wagon. What a ridiculous thing to say. It is well known that the Chinese have stolen trillions of dollars of Western Technology, infiltrated our research institutions, our military, and teaching institutions. Practically everything that makes China one of the big chiefs on the block was stolen from the west. We have gotten nothing from China but shoddily made products, lying, cheating, and spying. China wouldn't have figured out the electric motor by now if left to their own devices.

    There is fake news and then their is the truth. China lies, cheats and steals its way through the world. Its ridiculous to deny this; but I understand why you do. If you deny it you don't have to be embarrassed that you have to lie, cheat and steal to get anywhere.

    Woe to you if you are an ally or friend of Uncle Sam. You will be tapped for decades. :angel:

    I notice that you didn't include this.
    I put that in there because if you're chinese and you post that your authorities take a dim view of it.

    If you claim otherwise, copy the text and put it in one of your posts.

    As to tapping merkel: Considering we've had to bail the world out of not one but two world wars started by the Germans I think a little trust but verify is in order.

    I disagree. I think the Chinese Exclusion Act should be brought back into play. The Chinese are stealing our technology, especially our military technology, and using it against us. Letting them in even with visa's is, in my opinion, a really bad idea.

    Hmm, who is this poster that started the OP?
    And how did the Chicago Cubs stop being the left. And now the OP thread starter is the left?
    Does the spokeperson for the left, change every day?
    Do you think everyone you consider left, thinks the exact same things?
    Do you think everyone you considerf left has the same spokepeople?

    Who forced our companies(USA) to do business with China?
    It's been known for a couple of decades that China steals IP and does reverse engineering of our tech stuff.
    Yet, our companies willingly, I assume, go and do business over there any way.

    Seething at the moment because of your denial of the existence of Sinophobia in the US? You have been burying your head in the sand all this while about the problem around you.

    You think Uncle Sam is the gentleman as portrayed in US propaganda? It's the pot calling the kettle black.

    By the way, do you think stealing is as easy as ABC? If so, there won't be any poor people in the world. Just go around and steal from the rich. How much money have others stolen from you everyday? How many Americans have been pickpocketed in the buses and trains everyday? :angel:

    When a crook keeps shouting "Crook!", please don't run after the wrong person.

    Please find out what countries are/were guilty of stealing and cheating. :xd:

    So far you've not made a prediction, so how can you ever be right? If you think the US economy is going off the cliff into a Smoot-Hawley type depression, say so.

    Indeed they do. Chinese birth tourism is a big thing on the West Coast. That should be shut down regardless of what happens with the trade talks.
