Why do people think that Biden will turn the US into a puppet of China and a communist regime?

If China had an entire carrier battle group in the gulf of Mexico, you can be your bottom dollar that America would be targeting it with "quite a bit of firepower".

If Washington doesn't want people targeting its ships, then Washington shouldn't shove it's ships up another country's tailpipe.

Simply as that.

I think the reason is the Cold War, and the millions of dollars worth of anti-communist propaganda. Not to mention forcing children being forced under their desk to hide from the communist bombs headed their way. Growing up in that environment apparently deeply affected more Americans than we realized, because they are easily controlled by the fear of socialism and slippery slopes.

Also, our country's public education system sucks and we're full of dumbasses.

Conspiracy theorists that live and breathe by every word of one side of the two-party coin ... are not conspiracy theorists.

Many have been duped by TPTB.

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.

I agree Trump ran his mouth a lot. I expect factual history will show not much happened beyond him running his mouth.

Capitalism. Manufacturing going over seas has been happening for a long time. We can’t compete.

Going backwards is not an option. Manufacturing is not coming back. What we have is a Global market.

If we want American corps to share their money here — we have to tax them (or get creative in some other way).

#1 - we need to wake up to the reality that the American Dream of past generations no longer exists.

In reality, the charges against Hunter Biden do not remotely prove what Trump and his minions were claiming before the election.

You can read more in this article from NY Mag

China is and has been a mixed economy, as is every modern national economy.

Deng Xiaoping completely altered Maoist theory (and the inertia of China) toward entering the modern world economy.

It's why this "CCP der Commanism" crap is so utterly laughable to anyone with even basic international political understanding.

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

How come?

For reasons of national security.

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.

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.

Maybe they might try that after buying Bird Cay in the Caribbean and bringing in heavy earth moving equipment to build on the island for constructing a tourist getaway, as they say.

Indeed.

I still have to say, the choir enjoys your homily.

You realize that continually making excuses to try to reduce facts that are presented as counter to your claims weakens your argument?

It does. So does trying to discredit the one making the argument.

Trump is just as far into China as anyone.

And vice-versa.

So is paying taxes in China and avoiding them in the US.

China fast-tracked Trump's trademarks which have resulted in millions.

How much has Hunter Biden gotten from China?

Right so before the photos of Trump Merch proudly Made in China you said Trumpnwas trying to stop this kind of thing, then the photos appear and you move your goal posts to "When you are in business, sometimes you have to hold your nose even if you dislike something."

You see nothing wrong with that?

Paying tax in China is different from paying tax in the US, according to your Great Leader!

Holy moly.
So you basically have no position on this. Gotcha.

Offshoring manufacturing is bad! Leftists don't care about who is making iphones!
But wait, offshoring manufacturing is good! Trump is making smart business decisions!

It's so hard to be a silver-spooned businessman these days. We must sympathize with Trump, he's just a victim here.

But but HUNTER...

Joe Biden finished a speech about 45 minutes ago. he is very afraid of something.

Even his friends over at CNN we're perplexed by some of what he said.
