The STEAM Zone breaks down this argument, and the responses it generated

[Shyam Sankar @ssankar]

We offered China peaceful coexistence. We funded their industry, educated their children, brought them into the global economy.

They murder our children with fentanyl. Sabotage our critical infrastructure. Strangle our supply chains.

America has a positive sum spirit. No country did more for Chinese prosperity than America. So why has no country done more to undermine America than China?

For the CCP it is not enough for China to prosper, America must fall.

The Chinese have made their choice. Now we must make ours.

This is how we respond to the economic warfare thrust upon us:

[STEAMzone @STEAMzoneUS]

Qatar will build a facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho to allow Qatari pilots to receive training alongside U.S. soldiers.

Is this a confidence building measure for a new beautiful alliance? Is it an American betrayal?

Last week, China slapped back, at US tariffs with a new policy stating ANY product containing >0.1% of Chinese rare earth materials needs Beijing's approval before re-export to third countries.

Do you need to be a Master Plumber to fix your Gas Stove?
Some NYC regulation lovers introduced a new rule that would force YOU to hire a master plumber just to install a gas stove.
