    SOme ppl seem to take issue w/ that ancient term, but IMHO it best describes what the ccp is doing & probably a big part of an approach to out compete the communist entities..

    Innovation is key..... By the time it's stolen, it is already been improved upon.. IMHO this is an area we can & should compete & production brought home where ever possible.......

    It may already be to late, I dunno..........

    we were told allowing china in the wto would change them for the better. that was a lie.
    Yes, they were 100% wrong about china changing~they got worse..

    trump is threatening to leave it to them. Is that in our best interest??

    What happens if they get kicked out?? They seem to be already working on setting up their own china-centrist organization via the BRI

    Well, I'll put a pin in this because you could turn the clock back 50 years and insert the word Japan in your paragraph, and look where they are now.
    I think we need to get rid of our zero sum game mentality and do best what we do best.

    Because the USA is is not the WTO; whatever the origin of the WTO.
    Trumps answer was to dump the feckless WTO in favor of a bilateral

    I think Trump just pretends. He knows that believing our intelligence is admitting that Putin is not our friend and that
    Putin considers Trump an easily manipulated, weak, incompetent clown. Trump's body language when he is around Putin exudes
    subservience. Trump fears Putin. And yes, what a slap in the face. Why not more whistleblowers? A few good articles opine on this.

    I didn't say there was collusion, I always said meddling. There was certainly Russian interference, that's indisputable. Even Guccifer 2.0 admitted it. But for trump to say in public that he took Putin's word over that of US intel is mind-boggling. He threw his own country's institution under the bus in order to curry favor with an untrustworthy dictator.
