>China isnt doing the US any favors, lets not pretend any nation state of that size on either side has alturistic intentions.

They manufacture all the American goods for cheap, to benefit themselves but to say there is no partnership is not honest.

>How much does China share with the US?

They use manpower, for IP they ignore the IP laws usually, so if you mean sciences, there are frequent collaborations.

>There is a history of IP theft

The US did not enforce IP laws until they had a sizable amount to use as leverage, I see China doing the same.

>and its not for the betterment of mankind it's self interest.

Self interest does not have to be a zero sum game. Oil baron enriched themselves and also provided cheap oil.

I don't know why this is downvoted. This is talking the most sense out of anyone in the thread. Talking about American companies choosing to outsource labour to China as if it's some kind of casus belli is absurd.

Check out some of my other posts here! Most of the people have been fed propaganda, they probably think the tank man was run over. I can't believe that enabling China to take advantage is seen as an evil, the companies sold out America for cheaper labor, even after they cut benefits, and now cry about stolen IP from a country that in popular culture is know to copy products (poorly). Slavery is now seen as an expensive mistake, and so is outsourcing work to a poor country that copies designs, none of this is a suprise. They could have stayed and enriched the workers, paid them well so the economy did well, and kept their secret designs in a country that respected IP laws. The US as a culture lacks long term planning, like in infastucture, the length of the next elections, these companies saw short term profits mattered more and slaying the golden goose was the genius move.

Outsourcing labor to China has diminished the US so much. It is like the Heroin of economics for Americans.

Whose fault is that? China's for taking the deal?
