Absolutely not true. There is plenty of evidence time and time again from the top firms in this country try.

Aviation and top R&D being stolen from Boeing, just in general corporate espionage is rampant just Google it. The kicking out of top tech firms, why is Google not there in China? Why is that fair? China does not play by any rules and therefore they can’t be allowed to play with us.

The purposeful devaluation of their currency, why is that fair?

I could go on and on. I assure you I’m not a Nazi and I really dislike that part of Trumps campaign but man he is so right on this one.

You keep saying that he is right. You realize this discourages manufacturers from manufacturing here and instead to move that to China, right? Chinese consumer goods aren’t affected, but Made in America is now more expensive.
