It isnt about attacking China or them being commies, it's about keeping momentum, for the past twenty years and despite us naysayers giving any and all warning, politicians have continued to parrot the ever popular corporate slogans of.
"China is our friend!"
"Allowing China into the WTO only benefits the U.S.!"
"China will 'reform' if we open ourselves to them for trade."
And many more excuses, the U.S. can't keep turning a blind eye to patent theft, currency manipulation, and China continuing to advance its agenda on the world stage.
You say we should stop worrying and focus on the roads? 'I' say why not complain about both?
After all, every president back to Clinton has said they would 'improve infrastructure' and yet here we still are, those bridges are going to stand until people die because of them, politicians through their inactions on both sides make that clear.
In any case, I am glad that a majority of the American public is catching on to China's antics finally, even if they are just a 'distraction', they are still a more worthy one than the Middle east.
