The Rope

In 1972, President Richard Nixon traveled to China to meet with Chairman Mao and Chinese Premier Zhau Enlai. This meeting began a new era in Chinese-American relations. Prior to Nixon’s visit, Communist China was isolated from the Western World, restricted from doing business with the West, but afterward, they were open, freely buying our products, and selling cheap goods to us. In 2000, William Jefferson Clinton followed Nixon’s lead by allowing China into the World Trade Organization. All this was done, we were told, to benefit America, and our economy. We wanted to get our hands on the Chinese market filled with 1.4 billion people, 1.4 billion potential customers, 1.4 billion cheap/slave laborers. The big multinational corporations, who drive much of our politics, were poised to make billions, if not trillions, off the opening of China, and we would pay a couple dollars less for sneakers and electronics.

Our current administration is in lock step with the Chinese. John Kerry, Climate Czar, and former Obama-Secretary of State, is lobbying against legislation which would ban the importing of goods that is produced in China’s slave labor camps. Joe Biden has sided with Chinese solar manufacturers, denying a request to investigate them for evading U.S. tariffs. So, this multi-trillion dollar “green new deal” is poised to make the Chinese the richest country on the planet off our tax dollars.
