U.S. businesses have a vested interest in China but that doesn't require Taiwan to be part of China. Seems like if something went down, supporting Taiwan would present a double bind.

Slight diversion but... I didn’t think it was a good idea when Biden kept repeating that Kim jong-Un is a thug. true, but really it’s not a good start is it

Doubt it.

The US doesn't want to strengthen China by any means.

China is a direct adversary.

China is the new USSR.

Not a good start, not sure where that weird case will go. Rocket man is crazy though.

The US.will not do anything against Kim.J. if china is no involved.. N. Korea is a bigger threat than . Almost democratic china.

China fuels our most 'patriotic' industrial powerhouses. We just gave them big tax rewards for keeping their existing infrastructure while giving a vague handshake agreement to maybe create some jobs stateside.

Rocket Man is a Chinese proxy instigator

Yes, Zulu, which is why you're going to slowly start seeing more growing populism.

And nationalism.

Didn’t Kim jong-un call trump old? An he got offended 😂 rocket man is a slightly more polite than thug. Kind of 🙈

No one is giving up the China production cash cow. Ever.

Yes he is.

Iunno, we'll have to see.

The American populace is growing ever more hostile towards China.

He called Trump fat I think...it was hilarious and then the bromance started...

The human factory of the world 😐

That's the problem. We won't see unless there are covenants with their tax incentives.

And give up their investment in China too...it will never happen.

Nope

Never.

> And give up their investment in China too...it will never happen.
@busillis That's what I meant by covenants...to relocate structure.

Are the farmers in the midwest hurting cuse of the tariff imposed to China..

But blank checks written directly to their bottom lines with a wink are not the way.

Sorry I missed the last bit until it was reposted

Yes. China can afford the trade wars, the US cannot. And let’s not forget the US taken on many trade wars. Canada, Mexico, EU

Actually they weren't tax incentives. They were flat out gifts with no strings attached. Like when Carrier took the $7mm and opened up their Mexico plant anyway. Laid off like 1400 people in Indiana. That was a Trump 2016 campaign stunt.

What do you mean? No more cheap TVs from Walmart, subsidized by the CCP and our banking overlords?

If it weren't for their economic and environmental policies, I'd turn Republican t-t-t-today, junior.

The fallacy in producing less tangible goods than one's country consumes is lost on most.

Although I bet the Bank of China will loan me some money for a hamburger.

No more trading war. With Biden... maybe i will be able to buy a big screen TV. Finally

Quite happily

@MatiLuc big screen TVs are quite inexpensive compared to 10 years ago.

@MatiLuc what is your definition of fix screen anything larger than a Mobile screen?

That's innovation cost being absorbed.

Possibly

My tv looks like a large monitor

What is a TV actually?
