Thank you for asking the question.
I’d like to know also.
Real reasons — not the hysteria version “OMG, we’re doomed”.
I told you...
The simple answer is that Biden and some Republicans will enact a continuation of policies that benefit large corporations at the expense of the little worker. Much of the manufacturing base in the US has shifted to China over the past 30 years due to their slave like labor practices. Trump tried to stop the exporting of these jobs and bring them back to the US.
In addition, the Chinese use access to their market as a way to steal intellectual property. Not only that, it is suspected the Chinese put backdoors and other surveillance tech in goods sold in the US.
This is the crux of the issue.
There is a reason the Chamber of Commerce, Wall Street, and many corporate leaders were against Trump. They see $$$ in dealing with China. However, the little worker gets stepped on.
This is what all the NAFTA opposition, open borders, etc were about. Large corporate interest vs blue collar interests and why Trumps campaign was so popular in 2016 with the working class in flyover country.
In reality, the charges against Hunter Biden do not remotely prove what Trump and his minions were claiming before the election.

It's pretty hard for me to roll my eyes all the way to the back of my head... but that's certainly the instinct here.

I would never believe that a conspiracy site would be thinking that a president figure is a godlike character and falling so hard for an Anonymous source that has been proven wrong multiple times
a conspiracy site that yells about fake news and will use some edited youtube videos, Twitter, and anonymous sources as truth... unless that source goes against when they have been told to believe...
but that is off-topic

Doing business in Chyyna and paying fees is different than taking "investment" bribe money from Chyynese operatives 🤣🤣🤣

You do realize that it is quite difficult / expensive to have apparel made in the US nowadays? Branded goods are typically sub-contracted out. Trump sells his name / likeness and goods are made and sold. Do you seriously believe Trump is visiting a factory in China to oversee how his neckties get made?
When you are in business, sometimes you have to hold your nose even if you dislike something.
