The big companies have figured ways around the tariffs at this point and are continuing to buy from china because its cheaper than paying overpaid US workers who wont accept they are being undercut by more efficient chinese workers

The US government simply shouldn't deal with the Chicoms. Period.

Trump hasn't been doing too bad a job of that, himself. Of course, Biden would be worse. Government officials, with no responsibility for blunders, shouldn't be allowed to involve the government in trade. Trade is for traders.

Government shouldn't be allowed to trade. set up trade, ratify, approve or set the terms of trade. Trading is for traders. Government's only proper function here is to protect the rights of Americans who trade with foreign traders.

Just looked it up for recalling (but not precisely) it's a whopping amount. If what I read is up to date accurate, 80% of our pharmaceutical ingredients comes from China. Talk about a blackmail opportunity! That must be reversed completely.

Leftists are going to riot if Trump is exected. Leftissts are going to be allowed to riot if biden is elected

Agreed 110% First, get Ford, GM etc OUT of China. Bring the drug production back here. Send the Chinese students back to China. North campus here in Ann Arbor is little China. We have a saying DWA - driving while Asian. These Chinese students are displacing ours and stealing engineering technology. Then, when our house is cleaned go after China for reparations. Hell, tell the BLM people that they will get a cut of the money - much more than they are getting form China right now.
It is going to get really ugly after Nov 3 any way you cut it.

Russia is nothing compared with china

China already scored a big hit with the coronavirus. If Biden wins, we will complete the destruction of our country even without the help CCP.

I always appreciate Imprimus and HIllsdale College!

I notice those who would think for us are smoke and mirrors screaming "Russia! Russia! Russia! Lookit Russia!!" yet again.

That was a trip down memory lane.
I had the extraordinary experience of being allowed access to my Uncle's files after he retired from the Navy. He spent 6 years Marine enlisted and 25 as a Navy aviator. His retirement was as Asst. Chief of Naval Flight Training in 1977 out of Corpus Christi. My allowance was in 1981 and 82. I perused 6 4-drawer cabinets that housed training methodology for military and civilian aircraft history dating back into the 30's. At the time I had no real idea of the logistics and intricate purpose of what I was experiencing. Some of this became evident when I had to get into training methodology while on the flightline in 1987.
In 1993 I had opportunity to visit him for an extended day. In our dialog he admonished that China was the most preeminent threat for any aggressions toward the US. He had a matter-of-fact way of presenting things that were calm and disarming, yet this article reminds me of the blunt subtlety he presented at the time. Constant vigilance is the lesson while human animals may gain power.
