Huge topic, I’ll chime in, not going to argue after this, just a point of view.
I take the long view: One World.
The history of Nationalism ain’t good.
Tarrifs!!!!!! Protect OUR businesses!
How things change.
Age 6, 1954, We all had cheap toys, the kind with thin soft metal parts with slots and tabs. You assembled the toy by putting the tabs thru the slots and bending the metal over to keep it in the slot. Eventually you had a car, truck, star, whatever.
A small gang of young men walked by one day and said: Those toys are made by the enemy! 6 yrs old, huh?
1959, impressionable age 11, living in McClean VA., lots of military lived in towns near Wash. DC. Any time a Volkswagen drove by, someone a bit older would mutter, made by the enemy! Or, someone my age, having been influenced by their parents.
And now, many prefer made in Japan and made in Germany to made China.
Read the long history of China, Hawaii, Cuba, Vietnam, Panama, Philippines ...., Religious Zealots, Sugar, Bananas, Coaling Stations, Sponsorship of Coups,
You might consider the inter-relationships of European Monarchs to the Organization of the Mafia. And European Wars to Mafia Wars.
What England and USA did to China in the Opium Wars, in the name of: you guessed it: Markets for our goods!
At that time, who were the enemy of the Chinese? They sure trade with the enemy!
Who created North/South Korea? North/South Vietnam?
How were so many country’s future FOREVER changed by our actions?
Who got the Chinese population off opium?
Not a debate, just a point of view, I'll say no more.
