Not true. China has for years.
China could not win if US companies did not have their products manufactured there. It is the wealthy class, corporations, in America that is screwing the American worker by using foreign slave labor.
Slow down George. It is the past administrations that have screwed American workers. The Clintons exported our jobs to China for the last 25 years. We import 3 times what we export to China. The taxes and regulations were enough to drive out American businesses. The cheap labor was just icing on the cake.
All Trump had to say was there will be tariffs and trade re-negotiations. Today Chairman Ping says YES China can do that. We can make America great again by leveling the playing field with China.
“The 1996 United States campaign finance controversy was an effort by the People’s Republic of China to influence domestic American politics prior to and during the Clinton administration and also involved the fund-raising practices of the administration itself.
While questions regarding the U.S. Democratic Party’s fund-raising activities first arose over a Los Angeles Times article published on September 21, 1996,[1] China’s alleged role in the affair first gained public attention when Bob Woodward and Brian Duffy of The Washington Post published a story stating that a United States Department of Justice investigation into the fund-raising activities had uncovered evidence that agents of China sought to direct contributions from foreign sources to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) before the 1996 presidential campaign. The journalists wrote that intelligence information had shown the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. was used for coordinating contributions to the DNC[2] in violation of United States law forbidding non-American citizens or non-permanent residents from giving monetary donations to United States politicians and political parties. A Republican investigator of the controversy stated the Chinese plan targeted both presidential and congressional United States elections, while Democratic Senators said the evidence showed the Chinese targeted only congressional elections. The government of the People’s Republic of China denied all accusations.” Wikipedia
Which of the Clintons went to jail for this? None of them
“The Clintons exported our jobs to China for the last 25 years.”
1. That started long before Clinton. You could point the finger at Reagan in particular, but I guess that wouldn’t really agree with your thinking.
2. And Trump and his daughter continue to profit greatly from this. As we speak their products are still not being made here.
I am not sure what kind of thinking you think I think, but I would go back to Nixon for exporting jobs. Can we all agree that they all conspired to do it? More important would be the why. I am not as concerned where Trump hats and tshirts are made, as I am that the products exchanged between countries is fair.
From a Tom Hartman article comment:
“Sounds to me like you’re giving President Reagan more blame/credit than is owed, considering the President doesn’t have that much to do with it beyond (ordinarily) enforcing/upholding laws duly passed by Congress. The choices were ultimately by corporate management, responding to ever increasing labor costs and regulatory burdens, not to mention the highest corporate tax rates in the world.”
It’s just that the Clintons raised the bar on foreign contributions and hid it while singing a totally different tune about denying corporate money.

Don’t believe me? Take a look for yourself.

How does that agree with your thinking?
