You think Corporate wanted Trump? Nope and yet…

Corporate America gave the Trump campaign tens of millions of dollars partly because they knew he would never do what you’re suggesting.

He gave the green light for human rights violations as long as they bought soybeans.

Yeah. The CCP are untrustworthy miscreants who will stab them in the back eventually.

With that said, they are ruthlessly competent. And disciplined.

And that is why they may win the great game this century.

Until their people eventually turn on them and they will. Middle class and wealthy people are bad news for tyranny. Easy to keep your foot on the neck of peasants, not so easy with educated middle and upper classes.

Early 1990s Francis Fukuyama, is that you?

I was reading that exports from the US to China account for about 1 million US jobs. Since Jobiden’s Build Back Better Plan is going to create 18 million new jobs, we’re still 17 million new jobs to the good.

if pacific nations want to be dominated by china… let them. hunter will make a fortune

They didn’t want to be.

They were aligned with us…then we dumped them because everything Obama had to be dismantled.

And even scrapping the TPP wouldn’t have been that bad of a move it the Trump administration had something in the works to replace it the next day.

But he didn’t. So we get nothing.

You sound upset that the US wasn’t part of this trade agreement with an untrustworthy miscreant.
I would think that not getting into agreements with untrustworthy entitites would be a good thing.

Wow so much not giving a ■■■■ about China and their human rights abuses as well as infecting the world. Is it the fact they are communists they get a pass and don’t deserve our ire?

I would imagine if we were doing business with a right wing fascist regime that had 1.1 million people locked in concentration camps and beating and whipping black people with canes there would be a much different response.

Don’t worry…Biden will claim credit for what Trump is working on.

What is Trump working on?

Jobiden will fix it.

[conan]

Yes…just like he will “fix” vaccine too.

[TheRedComet]

That’s not what I’m saying.

I’m saying that I wish we would have done more to pressure our allies not to sign the damn thing.

[conan]

IMO because media weaken, undermine Trump at every opportunity/corner it weaken Trump negotiating hand.

Or… and now hear me out… he is terrible at negotiating.

[conan]

That’s possible. But my guess libs have weaken Trump negotiating hand…and China was hedging there bet on there investment.

How was Trump’s negotiating hand weakened?

What exactly did he negotiate?

[Bigjohn]

What strong energy sector?

Not sure where you’re getting this from the posts that have been made in this thread.

[Axxowiz]

It is wasn’t meant towards you personally JayJay, It just seems to go quiet when someone (Me at this point shines a light on what the CCP is doing over there) about what’s really going on over there. I am not sure why we would want to be in any trading block with that government they don’t seem to be to big of a step up from North Korea.

If anything the west should shun the CCP, the Russian government isn’t as bad as the CCP and we sanction the hell out of Russia. 1.1 minorities in concentration camps “meh” seems to be the response.

@Axxowiz

That “meh” happened because they agreed to buy soybeans.
