    China's central government does indeed take a longer outlook. However, I question how wise that is in today's globalized world where things move incredibly fast. If you think strategically in decades you may find yourself in a bad position to take advantage of new opportunities; especially a massive bureaucracy like the People's government.

    The only mistake america can make is taking actions out of fear and seizing control of the economy because of the fear of freedom. I can tell you that no matter how I look at it, it is very frustrating for me to be trying to earn a license in a sector in which there is freedom nowhere in the world. Basically, politics is all over it, with all its mighty corruption and clearly dumb and inefficient rules.

    Anyway, the developing countries governments and their people believe that it is only through taking away from america that they can get rich (through exports). It is just a dumb misconception, those developing nations will keep "developing" forever, and will never let their people reach the same life standards as the people from the current developed countries.

    No I enjoy exposing peons and trolls for what they are. P&T's rarely debate instead they simply rattle on insulting and babbling empty nonfactual rhetorical tirades. BTW, I would be the first to admit that I am often wrong and I do enjoy those members that disagree with and are able to engage me in civil good natured debate.

    Maybe you should take a course in reading comprehension as well as refresher course in amateur debate. Since you did not rebut anything I said I will assume you are in agreement and I accept your forfeiture.


    You are only displaying ignorance. Again by your failure to produce one bit of rebuttal you are forfeiting this debate(?), and are in agreement with the points I made. I am curious. If you feel the quote i(in green) is incorrect please attempt to discredit my words or at least offer an explanation. Be specific instead of showing your vivid ignorance for failing to rebut even ONE point in my reply to your silly insulting prattle. (the quote in question is below);

    Do what Donald Trump suggested. Place a 25% tarrif on all Chinese goods. I personally believe it's time for a trade war. Big business is no longer good for Americans since they outsource everything and they are owned by stock holders outside the U.S. Small business employs far more Americans.
    Since the U.S. buys 45% of the worlds products, we really don't need China. We simply isolate and regenerate our domestic production of goods to satisfy our needs. Once we are are working again, prices and wages will reach equilibrium and we will be safe from foreign interests. Also, since we are the worlds bread basket, they will have to get their food here and that's our bargaining chip.
