Hahahaha she was ineffective when she ran RI and she’s ineffective now. There’s no trade war that’s going to fix this, the only thing we can do as a country is invest in science and lower the barriers of entry into the STEM fields. This is a generational problem. None of this can be fixed within the next term let alone the next decade. We’ve made it far too easy to incentivize US businesses building their infrastructure upon cheap labor markets because we refuse to support local labor and innovation.
Washington may intensify its campaign to prevent Beijing catching up in military capabilities.
More like “delay”, or maybe even speed up China’s becoming self-sufficient, seeing what the sanctions have been doing so far lol
Fortunately they can’t do anything about it.
Have you tried making things people want to buy instead of banning things people want to buy if they’re from China?
American workers complain too much about their rights and pay to compete with China at the capitalist game.
But no worries. American corporations are working on that. /s
These are the actions of a failing hegemon desperate to maintain its former position. If our
rulers“leaders” were smart, they’d be going all-in on education and industrial policy, to build up our own capabilities rather than trying to tear down that of our neighbors. They’ve chosen once again the strategy of a bully, which seems to be all they understand. It will fail to stop China from advancing, it will fail to stop the nation’s decline, and it will make them less likely to treat us kindly in the future.We know from game theory that “nice” strategies which forgive some of the time are more prosperous in the long run to all parties. Where would mankind be right now technologically if the US had chosen after WWII to help everyone build and rebuild, and share their prosperity with others on a continuing basis, instead of greedily subjugating every developing nation, human rights be damned? I can only hope that someday a leader with real power might finally understand this. Most of life is not a zero-sum game, so there’s no sense treating it like one.
why?
Ah yes fear and denial
well, theyre a competitor and this is allowed
That’s code for “We will destroy everything we touch if it means spiting our enemies even a little bit”
