Maybe the USA should heavily invest in the industry of the USA, just like China does, in order to keep up? No, then USian companies would have oversight & have to meet expectations, and we all know that they wouldn’t want that.

Also labor price is unmatched. Nobody would work for the wage they give to children in China, so you can't really go that much cheaper while not sacrificing safety.

Not saying Chinese cars are that well made.

They're being pretty ruthless about grabbing all the world's resources to make them as well.

No the rest of the world has been sleeping when China silently bought all the mines and harbors in the past decades.

If our CEOs and business leaders are supposedly the world's best, why didn't they spent their capital shutting China down instead of their lavish lifestyles and payouts for their wealthy stockholders? I guess they aren't as good at running businesses as they claim to be.

When the only goal by law is maximize profits, the motivation tends to favor minimizing cost. Change the rules, and enforce a new set of values. Only then will the situation improve.

That and the fact that these people aren't patriots. They're looters. They don't believe in America per se. They believe in the economic system that advantages them and disadvantages others. It's just that simple. America is no longer a land of opportunity. Perpetual poverty is their goal. Keeping people down is the point.

China is performing a new colonialism. Exploiting poor countries for their cheap resources.

While the rest of the world is trying to steer away from it because it is so horrible. So please, don't praise China for it.

You don't understand colonialism much. They aren't taking anything by force like the rest of the west did for centuries.

They are doing business, there is a difference.
