I didn't bother reading this article. I already know it is likely the article (and half the comments) will mention at least one of these 3 things:
A) "The Chinese copied/stole IP"
B) Something about Tiananmen Square/Uyghur genocide/Xinnie the P00h
C) Something-something authoritarianism...

Someone posted a XHS video last week where the girl said something like "why are we (Americans) always so obsessed with what Chinese people think about Tiananmen Square? They don't care, they also don't talk about Kent State massacre on and on"

Honestly, these politicians keep talking about "CHYNA CHYNA CHYNA" and their actual actions are ZERO. Meanwhile China doesn't have this unhealthy obsession and people are riding HSR all over the country, EVs around the city and improving air quality.

If the Chinese government hates Uyghurs so much, why does the Urumqi metro have platform barriers, but NYC, the biggest/richest city in the USA have nothing to prevent all the suicides and murders/attempts? The politicians say "it is just too expensive!", too expensive to stop something that happens once every other week (not even counting suicides)? Too expensive for the city with the most billionaires in the whole world?

As an aside, people bandy about this "2 million number" around like a given. It's funny because people don't even think of the logistics of this. 2 million is a pretty large city in most countries. Not easy to hide even if you put them in closet size cells. If you spread these "camps" all over the place, you would need so many guards, trucks, etc. It would be so expensive. The slave labour thing is also so stupid. How would you allocate slaves? How could non-slave holding companies compete with slaveholders? Are slaves segregated from regular employees? Yet people say Chinese lack critical thinking because of the CCP...
You can't argue with stupid nor can their stupidity be fixed.

technically, since little Marco is sanctioned, China should not hold itself to whatever deals it makes with Marco as SECSTATE.
With little Rubio bleeding internally/anally EVERYTIME he has to deal with CHINA (diplomatically/alot since he is the SecState)the Chinese should call him up regularly and consult him.Every coffee break this week at work I'll salute little Marco and smile impishly inside as he bleeds.

Pretty sure it is the trade deficit. Buy our soybeans at a 10,000% premium to reduce it China. No I won’t sell anything you actually want.

Pretty sure it's $270 billion with the US in 2024. China's total trade surplus for 2024 is $1 trillion.
It's a mistake unless Trump thinks China's $1 trillion trade surplus should have been United State's trade surplus.

What do you the S in BRICS doesn’t stand for Spain?

THE PRESIDENT: He called me. But I see it very good. I think that we’re going to have a very good relationship. All we want is fairness. We just want a level playing field. We don’t want to take advantage. We’ve been having massive deficits with China. Biden allowed it to get out of hand. He’s — $1.1 trillion deficit. It’s ridiculous, and it’s just an unfair relationship.
