S. Bannon and R. Lighthizer already explained this, if the US doesn’t act now and force China to reform, the US may lose the ability to do so in 10 years, here are some reasons.
1. China has been forcing international businesses to transfer their intellectual properties for years, an unfair practice, and now Chinese firms want to compete against foreign counterparts with these licensed patents, obviously the West will lose the competition because of China’s EFFICIENCY, efficiency at the cost of basic human rights and justice.
2. China promised to open its market and treat foreign capital equally when it joined the WTO, but its government still wouldn’t allow foreign investors to buy and control Chinese companies, using national security as an excuse, meanwhile state-backed Chinese companies bought thousands of western businesses, the Party can use these businesses to exert political pressure on western democracies.
3. The US is paying for the world’s public goods, China is the party which benefited the most from this, but contributed nothing, instead, China cheats the current system for its own gain. I don’t agree with Trump’s rogue diplomacy, but I will call China a freeloader, a rude one.
How is the US paying for global public goods? The country surrendered its controll over monetary policies to offer a global currency, and spent billions(if not trillions) safeguarding trade—people are not paying for this! The US will go bankrupt if this continues!
4. The US helped China expecting China will become a democracy as its economy grows, however, Xi’s reign proved this fruitless, the US has the right to withdraw its support if China refuses to cooperate.
5. Trump does need to offer something good for his voters, he risked his family’s reputation for his position, at least he needs a success for Ivanka, if not the GOP, there’s no turning back now. |
