I certainly hopes Trump keeps his eyes on the prize..."good deals" for middle and working class citizens (jobs).

Not a trade war...just because.

China steals 300 Billion (!!!!) dollars worth of intellectual property from us each year. And we've just bent over and taken it.

Things are going to change.....

A state run capitalist one party system is like the Death Star. It runs pretty damn efficiently but there are weaknesses that can expose them as the house of cards some claim them to be. They will respect tough negotiations from a serious administration.

I've never understood America's trade policy with China. They need us a lot worse than we need them. Get tough and they will have to eventually fold.

Why we have looked the other way (for the most part) on intellectual theft has also left me baffled. Punish harshly any country that tries it.

When it's all said and done I believe we will find that almost, if not, every secret (trade, military, national security, etc.) will have been given to our enemies by this administration.
