One of the worst mistakes the US ever made was opening up relations to the illegitimate nation of mainland China, thinking that they would magically see the superiority of democracy and capitalism. They saw it with respect to capitalism for sure, by stealing our intellectual property, manipulating trade to their unfair advantage, and using it to modernize and become strong, but they remained authoritarian with the same thugs in charge where the definition of communism is, “we pretend to be owned by the People while the party hoards power and wealth and everyone else lives under totalitarian rule.”
Now we have created a monster bent on world domination and we are literally dependent on this hostile entity for all our shit, which they can’t manufacture to any reasonable standard.
When someone sees this disaster for what it is and tries to correct it (Trump) he is demonized by the elite class (political and corporate allies) and Democrat sheeple; the former because of corruption and the latter, stupidity.
The CCP has infiltrated every level of government, and has gone into large corporations and planted people into high levels while the principals are getting massive payouts.
In order to fuel China's economy, they need a market place to sell their crap, and the US is a "prime" marketplace. Of course, it destroys our manufacturing base and places the US at the mercy of China (how convenient).
And now our WH has a guy who is totally compromised by the CCP, so they can do as they please without fear of retaliation. And the principals of our large corporations are just as happy to start sending our manufacturing back to mainland China.
And let's top all of that off with biological warfare. We have a communist country that our own government FUNDED to create a biological weapon, and they openly used it against us and the western world in order to gain control.
And the US does............nothing.
