Not with nukes.

As has been noted before:

China is the first country which is getting old before it got rich.

Are we ready for the consequences of China’s collapse?

Maybe Trump isn't as stupid as Jon thinks he is. Maybe there are some industries that do not need to leave these shores. Maybe we should trade freely with nations that do not steal our intellectual properties, through reverse engineering or industrial espionage, and not with those that do.

All that may not be good for Wall Street, but Wall Street is not the economy.

"nations that do not steal our intellectual properties, through reverse engineering or industrial espionage" ... which nations would those be?

That's another discussion. It's well known that China does all those things repeatedly and enthusiastically.

Yes, I think we are.

Correct. And many also require foreign companies that do business in mainland China to take on a local partner.

I have talked to a few people in that area, and most foreign companies sell at least one or two generation old technology to China as they know it will be tried to be reverse engineered.
