Trump Not the Only One To Discuss China |
|
In the last few days and/or weeks Dylan Ratigan on his show, The Dylan Ratigan Show, has been stating that he is not fond of Donald Trump pushing the birther talking point, but Trump is the only person who is talking about the fact that China is engaging in unfair trade with the United States of America. Today, Ratigan made that same point during a panel discussion during his show. It was sad that no one on the panel corrected Ratigan.
In fact there are a number of politicians who have discussed the China Trade issue. The real problem is that the media, aside from Ratigan, does not seem eager to discuss the issue. However, Senator Bernie Sander, Senator Byron Dorgan, and many other Democrats have discussed the issue on numerous occasions. Senator Dorgan even wrote a book entitled Take This Job and Ship It, in which he discussed the issue of Chinese trade problems. In addition, a number of Democratic politicians have pushed to have tax cuts and tax breaks benefiting those who ship jobs oversea to China ended.
So, there are multiple politicians who have been talking about the China trade issue. The main problem is that the media seems unwilling to give them as much attention as they give Donald Trump. If the media spent more time examining the issue of China and allowing politicians to discuss the issue many politicians would talk about the issue.

2. Why is everyone now all of a sudden worried about unfair trade practices from China? |
|
Many industries(Heavy industry. The good jobs. Cars, steel, etc.), in America were destroyed by foreign companies using these same tactics for decades and no one said anything. Including mine.
Now that China is taking what is left everyone is in an uproar over it.
Can someone explain why this is happening now?
