This is what has always bothered me about Chinese trade, along all the
rest of globalization. It's a question of burden of proof.
When a system is proposed to transition from one state (almost no trade
with China) to another (unlimited one-sided trade with China), it rests
upon those eager to make the change to demonstrate that it's a good
thing. It's just that simple.
That's why it does no good, and even resembles evasion of the issue, to
question an opposing opiner's mental competence, when the burden of
proof still waits pendulously upon you, to tell us why it's such a great
thing now that virtually everything comes from China.
B. C. will forever be remembered as the American president who traded
American jobs (or at least risked them) to keep communism afloat, when
so many of our military (whom he "loathes") worked so hard to crush it.
Way to go!
