  the difference is I don't think anything else will get china's attention. I don't support tarrifs except as a last resort.

    China invest in new markets so the best way would be to compete against it in those new market and work on reducing dependences on china

      We have been trying for years. It has only rarely worked. Often coups and corruption destroy any good we do. (some corruption is us some not. Some attemyts have been really bad)

      i donft disagee, but I can't agree either and I don't think there will be a good return on investment. (Though return on investment isn't the only goal)
