Thought I’d post this because by the way some people here talk, I think they’ve forgotten that China has actual human beings living there

I hate the Chinese government and their attack on American IP. That has nothing to do with the working citizen earnings his/her hard earned pay.

Yet this hate is very recent. Wasn’t Russia the monster last year? Then Libya before that. Iran all the time. Then Iraq, Syria, Venezuela. Anywhere the empire is challenged. This time though there are conflicting elite interests. A war against Iraq doesn’t harm US industry all that much or even trade sanctions with Iran or whomever. This trade war could cripple US industry, and the US is also at trade war with the EU. Therefore expect industry pushback. None of this would bring jobs home. Applying tariffs to Foxconn unless they assemble in the US might have helped but this isn’t about that, it’s about “national security” or sabre rattling.

You are correct. The hate is very recent. Some of that is due to the current U.S. President, but most is due to the fact that China has become more repressive, and more militarized, under Xi Jinping. It doesn't help that Hong Kong has a new security law that is extremely repressive, nor that there are numerous human rights violations by the PRC.

No. It’s due to a cycle of propaganda as the US State realised that China is about to become economically dominant this century. Apparently they couldn’t do the math until now.

Never forget that Trump at a previous face to face meeting with Xi of China, asked Xi's help in keeping him elected but Xi refused (see John Bolton's disclosure). These are now the payback against China. As a US commentator said, this is a classic mafia tactic. US's global reputation has just gone down another major tier.

Thanks for more Chinese propaganda. We have this thing sewn up. China’s influence over the US is being severed... one gigantic tentacle at a time.

But at the same time, with each tentacle, Trump shoots himself in the foot (often with an accompany tweet that reveals what's going on in his head). 

It's only a question of time before he shoots himself in the figurative head. He is also causing enormous friction with US allies.

Let's not forget the trade war isn't (and not by a long shot) a China trade war.

The US trade deficit is not only with China but with the world. The world knows that if he wangles something with China, focus will switch to other areas like the EU and that is why the EU is proactively taking action to protect itself from what the US is trying to do to China.

I’m perfectly OK with a full decoupling of the US from China.

That probably will never happen unless we can come up with the 1.1 trillion we owe them and then figure out what we will do about manufacturing. 

We screwed ourselves when we moved industrial manufacturing to China and they made an infrastructure that can make anything quickly, but has virtually no long term durability to keep costs low. 

Maybe if we spent more time working together to be less reliant on China instead of fighting each other, we would have started the framework of divesting from China.  Both parties thought moving to China was a good idea and nobody ever thought that a foreign country would buy up American t-bills, notes and bonds and weaponize them.

The real tragedy is the truth that our government both left and right can give 2 shits about our people who are barely holding on in this pandemic. They cannot come up with just a basic plan to help those who are on their last leg and are about to be starving and homeless. 

They just want your vote to keep their place in line to get their special interest money. That’s why you won’t see any help until we are almost near Election Day and they can spin it towards their advantage.

This needs to be an automatic death penalty offense.

And if China is behind this, it’s as good as a declaration of war.
