??? I'm the "above poster". Unlike our liberal friends, I am not someone who claims to know what the future will bring. I am not certain that Trump will be successful with his efforts in this trade war. I do know for certain that getting China to be more fair and open with its trade will benefit both the US and China. The data on this is born out by the fact that it's precisely these more fair and open practices that has brought the economic boom to China. China's GDP is now majorly comprised of private enterprises, with state owned enterprises contributing a substantial minority. The trading activity between the US and China has not just been in terms of material goods, but also in cultural exchange and an expansion of our mutual understanding. This is why no one seriously ponders a potential war between the US and China even if China is aggressively expanding its military reach in the world. This is in stark contrast to the tension that was felt between the US and USSR.

So I don't know the outcome of the trade war, but know with some degree of certainty that a more open and fairly trading China is beneficial to all, so I am supporting Trump's efforts towards this goal by engaging in a trade war. [/quote]
Agree 100%. 
You are the wise voice of reason on DCUM.[/quote]

I prefer to read newspapers and believe the economists and data scientists who say that this trade war will be costly to the American economy.  [/quote]
And the decades old “business as usual” with China will eventually control America. But heck, isn’t that exactly what you Liberals want?[/quote]

So basically, you don't read, you don't look at data, but you believe the trade war is good.  Got it! Enjoy your ignorance.[/quote]

I'm the "above poster". It's ironic that your rebuttal is "you don't read", since no one in this thread is arguing that a trade war is good in and of itself, only that sometimes a trade war is necessary to change undesirable behavior.

Let me ask you this, do you believe it was wrong for the US to fight a civil war to end slavery, because "wars are bad"? [/quote]
