It seems incredible racist to assume that all Chinese money is dirty money and/or money laundering. Sure, some of it is, but China is also the world's factory - we pay them to manufacture stuff, that provides them with money legitimately. It might not be evenly distributed among the population, but that isn't the case in the US either.

>money legitimately

You're completly ignoring the massive subsidies and currency devaluation to keep this scheme going. If we didn't have import tariffs all our local industries would get destroyed because nobody can compete with someone who sells their goods below manufacturing costs for decades.
