@Frugal1,
Frightened and confused? You really are told what to think.
I'm quite pleased that Trump's first foreign policy foray was to seriously piss off the Chinese. That's one of America's pointless wars we can keep well and truly out of.
Trump may have had a point re Sino/American trade, but that's lost now. By abandoning one China protocol Trump has seriously upped the ante and underestimated the Chinese. It's not like it's even a negotiating option he could have kept in reserve. He blabbed it out before even taking office. That's one serious blunder.
China paid for Dubya's illegal war, they hold billions of dollars worth of US treasury bonds. They can junk the dollar anytime they want to. The Chinese aren't pushovers, they've been through the Long March and The Cultural Revolution, they can put up with a lot of ****. You got your arses handed to you on a plate by the Viet Minh, a third world country, and you have a conniption when KFC move out of town. The smart money is on the Chinese.
We'll take advantage of that alright, the Chinese are already investing over here. Someone's got to take their money, and we will.
The only people scared of surveillance are those with something to hide. I can see why it terrifies you.
