Which is why I'm so disgusted and stand in support of any President that will stand for us. Technically it is not China Trump is in protest against. It is big business that supports non-American labor.
Except Trump is not standing with the American worker, he never has. Under Trump more jobs have gone over seas then previous administrations and those stats are from the Labor Department. Trump does not go after big business, he tweets about how great the stock market is doing but its doing great because big companies are doing four things;
1) increasing new revenue streams by buying up smaller business
2) keeping labor costs down through layoff and use of contractors who receive no benefits
3) keeping minimum wage down
4) getting more tax breaks
How does any of the above help American labor? I know how it helps the S&P 500 and my investment portfolio.
Trump uses China as the boogie man to gullible people who swallow it up. The real people who have screwed American labor are the politicians and executives of the companies. China has its issues (human rights is a four letter word in china) but corrupt politicians (especially people like Trump) are far more dangerous to the USA.
