The man has no fucking clue and that’s why Xi will eat his lunch. Those cars we’re “importing” are built by US manufacturers in plants located in China, using resources in China, then “exported” over here for domestic sale. And guess what, foreign automakers do the same, building cars for sale in their own markets in the US.

I’d love a reporter to ask him or Stepford Sarah to name a single Chinese automaker that exports cars for sale to the US market.

I’m not an expert on the Chinese market, but are they really US manufacturers? The Chinese require foreign manufacturers to partner with domestic companies and that those domestic companies must own at least 51% stake and also be handed any IP involved.

Trump is still an idiot, but even GM that is booming in China only owns a 44% stake in that business and are arguably selling their future to get it. I am sure it is not as black and white as that, but it is an issues that China needs to be confronted on, unfortunately I don’t think Trump is the right person to be doing it.
