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.
