That's already happening. Trump scuttling the TPP didn't help much. China is looking to fill the void left by the US (it's called the RECP). They have also been investing a lot of money into more developmentally challenged countries for quite a while. More developed countries like aus have problems with chinese investment when it ultimately comes from the central committee.
Other than that though it's all good. China is currently the worlds rising power both economically and militarily. Don't worry though trump knows what he is doing. You have seen the apprentice right? He really knows how to point at someone and shout you are fired! Which shows the world he is a real tough guy.
nope. don't watch those kinds of shows. it is sad to see such as ignominious end to the american empire though. it's been going down slowly for a while but damn if little finger hasn't sped that up. when O was pres i wouldn't have imagined world leaders openly mocking el presidente.
Trump could threaten to send Ivanka and dress Lil Kim up in some ladies designer clothes. Then they would sit him in a chair and have the boys read him Trump's best quotes over and over again until he capitulates.Send in the Koosh!

RIP Apple. Where will they find exploitable labor to build their sh!t. I am sure Amazon would feel some pain as well.RIP Walmart. Where will all the Trump voters buy their shit then?
This looks like a job for Dennis Rodman.Wouldn't it be hard to put sanctions on China? Given just about everything is manufactured there and a lot of it is for American companies. Like Apple, AMD, Intel, dell etc. Also south Korean companies have a lot of stuff manufactured there. Samsung, LG etc.
The problem is China now holds all of the cards because they have all of the large scale manufacturing capability and an endless supply of communist stooges who do what they are told.
The sanctions on Russia for (allegedly) doing what, who, me? Invasions off neighbouring countries just made them more belligerent (they are still in effect right?) although it's not like we are missing out on much when it comes to Russian exports.
I look forward to being wowed by the world's best president, diplomat and dad.

We could start by not allowing Chinese communist stooges to launder, I mean invest, in American real estate.
It really is staggering and depressing how far we've sold our souls in favor of corporate profits and materialism, with the most "progressive" parts of the country in some ways being the biggest culprits.That's one of the ways the Chinese invest here also. 30 odd billion in real estate last year. Each purchase has to pass a foreign investment review board first. They also pay a foreign investment tax.
Property investment by Chinese nationals will never be stopped here there is far to much money being made by everyone including state governments etc.
30 odd billion is serious money. I am a cynic but at the end of the day money makes the world go around. Then there is Europe to invest in.......

The thing with the Chinese is they plan ahead. Sure the US could quite easily build the same factories locally but how will that effect the relevant corporations profits? Their profits won't be increasing that's for sure.

This, an interminable and insufferable thousand times this. Bloviating out of his ass of a mouth seems to be a talent of his that has no limit to its exasperating tendencies.
The guy defaults to empty threats like he was a snarky condescending self-righteous narcissistic big time wanna be real estate magnate or something.
Not as easy as you would think. GE tried to open a dishwasher factory in Louisville and ended up bringing in Chinese to set up and run the place for a time as the experience wasn't there.
Also, so many of the components in making a factory (industrial automation) are made in China. If trade were to be blocked, would be nearly impossible to build a factory here. Not enough components to build and run most of the equipment. Even the companies that used to make industrial automated controllers like Allen Bradley (Rockwell) which made stuff in Wisconsin have shifted to China for production now.
An example of how prices have changed: 20+ years ago, inductive proximity sensors were $70-$100 each with the cables costing $25 - all made in USA. Today, most of that stuff is made in China (almost everything of the sort) can be had for $8-$10 for the proximity sensors and the cables can be had for as low as $5 each.
Very interesting and unfortunately not surprising.

I was talking about the staggering wealth disparity you see in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, etc. Those are all progressive places with access to people of incredible wealth, but not many solutions.Link?
People who didn't have a problem with Cheney and Iran are going to sound pretty stupid trying to paint their dreaded proggies as icons of profits over patriotism. The GOP has that locked down in spades, everyone else is an amateur by comparison.
This 'money over all else' affliction is what had republican politicians giving 9/11 first responders and vets the finger, while handing out subsidies, outsourcing credits and tax breaks to foreign companies. It was the progressives and Jon Stewart who howled bloody murder over it and got it to stop.

Once Trump renders the unproductive obstructionists obsolete, the underlying class and wealth distribution issues still remain. I laugh whenever I see an Obama or I'm With Her sticker on the back of a Range Rover or other status vehicle.
What have you done for the greater social ethic?So on the one hand we have the better-off who still vote to pay redistributive taxes out of greater social ethics, and on the other we have people like you.
Easy to see why the latter do what they can to vilify the former.
